What number did your dial for the NVC??

I called 1-603-334-0700

it may say you cannot get through due to high volume of calls.... keep trying.... when u get through hit 1 for English then 5 for an operator... then you wait on hold for a bit.

Best time to call is first thing in the morning. 7est is when they open.. I called at 8est this morning and had to call three times before I got through.

Ya! that surprised me too. Take a look at the package 3 from the Montreal Consulate.

It explains everything. You only have to e-mail them a few things.

The issue with the Montreal consulate is that they WILL NOT take phone calls. E-mail only. so if you have questions e-mail them. They have a pretty good turn around time and you should hear back within a day or two.

Thanks for sharing this. I just printed it out and will look over it. I did not know they do email only. This forum is so helpful and awesome.

You all rock!

Oh we're almost on the same timeline yeyyy I'm not alone with this RFE thing going on.. Let me know when you're fiance receive it in the mail or when you're about to send your response.. I wanted to know how long they review the case again after receiving our response.

That's really sad to know that case workers just pick randomly who they will give this RFE thing.. I've read some post here on VJ though that one letter is okay as long as both the petitioner and beneficiary have signed it..

OHH, I see your NOA1 is exactly around same time as mine. I see you sent your stuff in a week earlier though. So yes we hopefully should progress along same timeline!

We have heard nothing. Our last update was 9/25/15. Stuck in limbo here.

Yes, I will surely keep you posted. You are a over a week ahead of me and should go quicker. Should being the operative world lol. As we are all learning, it's a mystery! Please keep me posted as to your progress as well.

I never heard that 2 could sign! Good to know for future applicants! Let's keep our fingers crossed. Like someone else said. An RFE sucks but at least we know our case has been touched!

Domina, how is your case going? Have you heard back since NOA1 yet?

[BrendaBuzz 8]

I am sorry to hear that. That is so frustrating! I just heard back around 11:00PM this past Monday and it was for RFE. I hope you hear back sometime this week, considering we are so close in date for NOA1.

I really think things slowed down for the last weeks of September.

Fingers crossed that you hear something in next couple days.

So I called the NVC today, got through after about 15 mins of being on hold. I figured id give them at least two weeks to process my case (got noa2 on Oct 19) and they had already received it as of Oct 31 and assigned a case number by monday Nov 2. The lady i spoke to was very nice and super helpful, I thanked her a lot and told her I hoped she could give more good news to people today.

Now to track my number and see it get to the consulate! Hopefully more people get good news today

Congrats!!! Very happy for you but also a bit frustrated. Our NOA2 was Oct 20th. Called NVC last night and our case hasn't even been received yet. I wonder if CSC mails daily to NVC or not?

I will like to know that last Q also.

My case was approved the oct 29th. and we cant wait to get the NVC ball rolling.

I know ppl say give them, 14 days to get the case and so.

But is there a point of start calling soon like after a week of approvel ?

[Eryka 5]

Well I was approved on the 20th of october and NVC still hasent recieved my case ??

Ok so, it took 20 days to me, but it is actually pretty good. Because there is an estimation on VJ of about 25 days of waiting to get to NVC.

USCIS doesn't send everyday, it does wait a while, even a whole week or two, before sending it to NVC.

I wish you all the happiness of this world. You will be with your dear love soon. Keep faith!

Oh wow!! I am happy for you!

Thats super great! Fingers crossed!

You will be together soon!!

Question: did the embassy sent you an e-mail or letter to ask you for packet 3 or you sent it yourself when the status showed Ready?

Mine shows ready for a few days already and dhl says delivered, but no news.

Oh, the 160 form online can be filled out no and saved? If you don't have your NOA2, can you still fill it out, or do you need to enter that in?

Is it the beneficiary who fills it out?

It is the beneficiary who feels it out, but there will be a few questions about the petitioner as well,like job and home address.

You will need your receipt number from USCIS, starting with WAC or smth like that. You should have it from your NOA1 - it says your receipt number! Its not the one from NVC.

You can save the form and use it again during 30 days, or make changes.
