There's got to be a reason for all of these delays. Some still waiting for a case number and some NVC don't even know where their files is. Has National Benefit Center (NBC) adjudicate 1-130 petition before? If not that explains why the field offices and NBC process isn't smooth sailing after our petitions has been approved. No one really have a protocol of what to do. I understand the snow day that they didn't work and probably have back logs because of it. Wow what a difference a day makes. But don't you think we shouldn't have to call NVC everyday just to see what's going on. I understand those who need to talk to NVC operator for questions that are not easily answer, but most could be answer in a minute. they really need to update stuff online and have us check stuff online, we can do that 24hrs a day. Save us a lot of time and theirs. Instead of calling and be on hold for 45 mins. Update stuff online would make it more easier and efficient.

Finally my case arrived at NVC! The rep said it just arrived there today. I feel a little relieved, knowing they have it.. How long is it taking for them to issue me a case number??

yeah that's depressing... today NVCresearch sent respond that after they contact uscis they figure out that our petition is in dallas and we have no idea why it is there!
i hope we all will pass that soon.
i wish you good luck and hope nvc will have ur case this week

Thanks. Our timeline is pretty much the same, so yes they will receive yours soon.

It was my first! But last week, I also sent in my scanned NOA2 to their email, don't know if that had anything to do with it. I also called USCIS and they told me my case was shipped on 02/28.
Now the dreaded wait for the case numbers

Just got off the phone with NVC! My case was received on March 8th!! I am elated! Now I can relax...for now.

But you knew you were their?!? I have been told by 3 people at the NVC I was most likely MISPLACED. If I knew I was there and just waiting a number that would be fine. The problem is no one knows where our file it.

We are all in the same boat. Unfortunately.

It will be there eventually. NVC seems to be taking awfully long with their cases since they're back up. It's been taking NVC 3-4 weeks to give out case numbers since they've received the cases anyway. Also, keep calling NVC if that will help ease your mind.

Wow, for the first time I am feeling like weekend is waste of time and I want to pass it quickly so Monday can be here soooon!!!

Still no case # for us :(
This wait!!!!!

I need someones advise, my Noa 2 has a date of Feb 7, I called the NVC Monday to check on my case, the said they don't have nothing yet. they haven't received my case, UGH so I called the USCIS, spoke to a tier 2 rep, she was very rude, I asked her can you find out when my case was transfered to tne NVC? she said "well if your NOA 2 is showing that is going to transfer to the NVC, then is going to transfer, we have no date or control on when cases are transfer" Call the NVC give them 30 days and deal with them, we can't help you. I also email my NOA2 to the NVC. Anything else I can do on my behalf to get my case going??

Called NVC, got a super nice lady today. My case isn't there yet. Telus is gonna love me. I might look into buying some skype minutes.

All I know is my case completed without translations, and I checked the US/Cairo embassy, and the NVC consulate specific instructions and found no guidelines for translations being required. In China they are very clear that translations are required?

Mabroooooook Sooo happy for you!! I wish you get a fast interview date.I can't wait till I have a complete case too!! Good luck

Here's what I know-- According to the website it says translation isn't needed if its in the language of the country. We did not send translations. I did not receive a checklist for the translations when I mailed my package. Maybe they will ask for it later, but we chose not to bother with it since it wasn't a requirement.

Alf mabrooooook!!! Insh'Allah your husband will join you before his daughter makes her grand entrance
Good luck with the NVC!!!

*Prayers* Alf Mabrook/Congrats! and I need to start baking an Egyptian American baby.

Welcome to another consulate sister! IsA it goes quickly for us. I should have case complete next week isA

Hey guys I am new to this topic I got NOA2 on 2/15 I am waiting for NVC to get my papers I want to rush the NVC process since I am pregnant and I am due on June 5th!! I am really wishing my hubby will attend his daughter's birth I have everything signed and ready! btw, do any of you know how do you expedite your case at NVC or even get an early interview date at the embassy? I am gathering evidence for the request now... Any advice would help Thanks guys!

You have to wait on the AOS FEE BILL to hit yer email inbox (you do stuff with a telephone, daily, prior)
but
once it does hit -
You can ask for an expedite at NVC. NVC will put a query into the IV unit, and if the IV unit accepts the expedite request, the casefile (whatever NVC has at the moment) is shipped out to the IV unit.
Not turn in stuff to NVC? Must turn in to the IV Unit on interview day.
Go Get Em ! [hint - used advanced search tool, search terms 'NVC Expedite' Author Name 'Darnell', then tick on 'display as posts' - I've written tons about this, in the last 2 years, and you'll see my posts about it] url - http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=search

Unfortunately, NVC reviewers don't seem to know all the country's rules. I would suggest calling up next week and requesting to speak with a supervisor. Explain the situation. Have the website handy to read exactly what's on the NVC site under the Netherlands reciprocity table.
All operators give an exaggerated time frame. Don't worry about it. Just keep calling every single day.
Well, you can only start an expedite request AFTER a case number has been assigned, so you need to at least wait until then. Once you do get a case number, call an operator and explain that you want to send in an expedite request. They'll explain what you have to do.
Keep in mind though, being pregnant usually doesn't constitute an expedite. It'd have to be a high-risk pregnancy, and even then... But it's always worth a shot! If the request doesn't get initially approved, just go through the NVC process as quickly as possible. Once you have an interview date assigned, you can try contacting the embassy directly and requesting for an earlier date. Again, there's no guarantee.
Are you currently living in Singapore? Have you read the paragraph on Certificate of Clearance on NVC's site for Singapore? http://travel.state....l?cid=9732#docs

Congrats and welcome to the family !

I think we should all call USCIS and NVC and say this :
"Happy Valentines day, please note that I can't be with my loved one because your process is too long and very frustrating"
Love!
