We received NOA2 on June 16.

 

Received letter today, form I-797

 

The letter says “The above petition has been approved and forwarded to the listed consulate.  Please contact the consulate with any questions about visa issuance”.

 

it says nothing about NVS.

 

Is this what the letter said that you received from USCIS?

 

Yes, mine said the same thing. Both my local embassy(Bahrain) and my attorney said it still goes to the NVC. My local embassy said they cannot do anything until they get the file from NVC, and need a NVC case id number to assist in any way.

we have noa2 date of May 16 and haven’t heard anything about a case number or our application being sent to our embassy!

What’s the email? 

The email address on the NOA2 letter I received is nvcinquiry@state.gov . It says you should allow 30 days for processing before emailing to check in. Hope this helps!

That email doesn’t do anything. You’ll just get an auto reply directing you to submit your inquiry in the NVC public inquiry page, which is currently taking 2 months to get a response if you use.

When the CEAC site changes from "In Transit" to "Ready", does that mean the case is already at the beneficiary's consulate? ...and what are the steps to take please?

Finally have a NVC case id number, and even better, got an approved expedite from NVC to embassy as of 28-June-2022!

 

I submitted an inquiry both to my local embassy in Bahrain and NVC on 21-June-2022 to obtain case id number in order to request an expediate from NVC to my local embassy based on a pending job offer in US that needs me to start as soon as I can. On 27-June-2022 NVC responded from 'NVC expedite' email on info they needed to make an expedite request(found out here they didn't need NVC case id number to make the request). I made the expedite request from NVC to embassy on 27-June-2022 per their instructions. I heard back from NVC on 28-June-2022 and they provided NVC case id number and a notice that they were reaching out to my local embassy on whether the embassy would approve the expedite. Minutes later also on 28-June-2022, I received an email from my local embassy that they had received an email from NVC for expedite request. My embassy said they would accept the expedite request and informed me to wait until they get the physical file from NVC for further instructions.

 

As of right now case is 'At NVC' but hope to see 'IN TRANSIT' based upon the expedite request and approval soon!

Bahrainexpat- it is my understanding that upon arrival in US, requirement is to get married(within 90 days) and then you can file I-765 for Employment Authorization and I-485 Adjustment of status (for green card). Just curious how to apply for expedited case based on employment opportunity if it will take months to receive authorization for employment.  You seem to have found a work around and if so please share.  Thanks so much and good luck!

I was referring an employment opportunity in the US for myself as petitioner. We both live and work in Bahrain, and I want us to leave here together. I can leave anytime I want for the US, but want to wait to leave for the US until her visa is issued. I obtained an expedite request approval based on my(petitioner) next job in the US. My apologies if I implied the job was for my fiancee/beneficiary.

Visa Approved! Lima, Peru

They asked me these questions:

1. What is your fiancé's name?

2. When was he born?

3. Where was he born?

4. When we met and how?

5. When was the last time we saw each other?

6. What is his job?

That’s all

NOA2 5/18 and still have yet to receive a case number

[danli 25]

It's been 40 days since my NOA2, and nothing from NVC yet.

 

Is there anyway to get some information beside waiting for inquiry response?
