NVC Receipt Delay

[Daisy.Chain 317]

Hi all, my family member and I are writing in with a question - he had trouble locating this specific forum. It's been a long time since I did a K1 and all the times have changed a ton since I went through it.

 

Family member (USC) is petitioning his fiance  (Dominican Republic) on a K1. He got the Noa2 in mid-October. He can't call NVC..they only have an unmonitored line now "because of covid".

 

He has emailed NVC several times but the emails back say no case has been received yet and to wait at least 6 weeks from NOA2...even though he didn't email prior to 6 weeks (!!) and only emailed around 8, 10 and 12 weeks.

 

Is there anything else he can do? He's worried that they've lost his petition. Does waiting 80+ days for the RECEIPT (not that it's left NVC or that the consulate's received it but that NVC has received it) seem normal?

They’re saying wait 90+ days for the petition to be received from USCIS. Personally, my fiancé and I have an emergency, so 90 days is absolutely unrealistic giving our current circumstances. I got my local congressman involved to see if the petition was mailed out. They confirmed that it was delivered to the NVC on the first of this month, so about 6 weeks from our approval date. Maybe he can contact USCIS to see if they mailed the petition, yet?

I don’t think there’s much else he can do except keep sending inquiries until they confirm they’ve received the file. NVC is taking upwards of 90 days to confirm receipt of K1 petition recently
