Case received date

[lewisliu 1]

See a few posts here on 90 days+ wait for case to be received by NVC. I have waited 4 weeks now since I-130 approval at the end of July.

Is this the normal timeline now? or this is only happen when case is lost during transferring

It speeds up and slows down depending on the number of cases they receive. Most likely it is received, it's just waiting its turn to be entered into the system. You can call the NVC to confirm they have the case by giving them the USCIS receipt number, as well as they can tell you more precisely what the expected wait time is until it is in the system.

Just called, spent 1hr waiting. They said they have not yet received the case. 

 

Trying to call USCIS now.

See, now you know something you didn't know before. Ask USCIS for some sort of tracking number or confirmation that was was sent to NVC.

Thanks! in total it took 9 weeks for you to have the case number then?

Yeah I received the NOA2 on May 10th. And the USCIS site said it was approved. However it didnt change on the USCIS site to "Case sent to NVC..." until July 3rd. When I called on July 10th I got my case number. What does your status in USCIS say? It seems that sometimes there is a real delay in them sending it. Im sure EB2/EB3 are going to be similar

agree....I received NOA2 via mail on July 28th. A month later today, the website still says "we received your case", so the approval status is lagged significantly. 

calling USCIS in a bit to find out

Was yours a self petition or through an employer?

In case your petition was through an employer. You won't be able to call USCIS it will be your employer or your employers attorney. I called myself and they told me the company would need to call. I think its because up until NVC receives the case, its technically not really your case, its your employers. Once its at NVC it becomes your petition and you have access

called USCIS, they said they only start a process to check if it is above 90 days.

And for NVC, they said they can offer instruction when above 6 weeks.

Looks like I have no choice but wait
