Is NVC doin business on the weekends?

[Laynie 0]

Hey Everyone! Got a ? just wondering if NVC close on the weeknds or do they work over the weekends as well!

Hope they do but I doubt it, it will be 3 weeks this coming Monday since our approval,and just hoping that things do keep moving, our papers still haven't reach NVC yet!

I've e-mailed twice and phoned once but was told to wait another week! GRRRRR! Got an e-mail this morning from a VJ'er saying that they called USICS and was told that CSC does not hang on to the petitions once they are approved, that they are sent by FED-EX like company to the NVC same day of the approval, that the petitions are bar coded and everything to avoid getting lost, well if thats the case then where on earth are the petitions if CSC doesn't have them and NVC doesn't have them, the question is who has them??? The VJ poster that PM'd me was RICKER!

And our NOA-2 also says that it was sent to NVC on the 15th of Oct.

I'm having a hard time being patient as I'm sure so is everyone else! Our lawyer says that if we haven't heard from NVC in 30 days of the approval to let them know,although I don't see how thats gonna make a difference since they wouldn't even believe us when we called to tell them that we got the approval, they had to varify it first LOL before they would believe it,they were lucky it was me on the phone with them at the time!

Anyway now I'm rambling, so if anyone might have info as to whether or not NVC works on the weekends would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Have a good one, take care & stay safe!!

I would hope they do, but I don't really think so.

hi,

They just work only 240 days / 20 days a month / 5 days a week only.

Hi Laynie,

Maybe USCIS doesn't really hold on to the petitions, or maybe they do, the thing is it takes a while to be assigned a case number at NVC. Back in the good old days (June haha) - which is when our petition was moved to NVC, it took 2 weeks for us to get assigned a number.

Now where was that file for 2 weeks? Well maybe at USCIS waiting to be shipped out or maybe in the sorting room at NVC, regardless it takes a while.

Good luck

I think the petitions are shipped from California to NVC (and from Vermont to California) by chartered freight. Edited November 7, 2007 by Chris Parker
