I just talked to a live operator, and she was very nice and helpful. It turns out that my petition is already on its way to Argentina! I was pretty shocked, their automated system kept telling me that they had not receive my case yet. She gave me the following tips:

*Don't wait for a letter from them stating that they've received your case or that it's been forwarded. Unlike NOAs, they don't always send one.

*Do not use their automated system. It is not accurate and doesn't get updated.

Give them a call at 603-334-0700, press 1 for English, then press 5 to speak to a live operator. BE PATIENT. You might not get through the first time, but keep trying. The best time to call is early in the morning before 9 am EST.

Hope this helps someone.

The automated system has never been for those doing K visas. Those doing K visas should always speak to an operator when using the automated number. Those doing CR-1 access the automated messages for updates to their case which are updated.

I didnt realize there was a difference either. I just called and selected 5 and spoke with them. They stated it is in administrative processing and I will be notified when it is forwarded. My letter was dated July 10.

Good thing I read this thread! My fiance got our letter today saying that the NVC had received our case. I asked him when the letter was dated and he told me, July 26.

So I get him to phone to see what the status of our case was...I know, it seems early, but you never know right? And the lady told my fiance that it had been sent to Montreal on July 25! :lol: I'm glad we didn't have to wait at the NVC long...heck, it was there and gone before we even knew it had arrived! :dance:

From their site:

"An automated recorded message system can answer many of these inquiries 24 hours a day, seven days a week (603 334-0700). Operators are available to respond to more difficult inquiries from 7:30 AM to 12:30 AM (EST) Monday through Friday. Status of case information and access to an operator can only be provided by entering your NVC case number or CIS receipt number on a touch-tone telephone."

I only offer advice - not even legal. Just the plain and simple kind.
