you got the case number 2 days ago and now it went to the consular section (embassy). have you expedited your case in NVC ??

My case was approved on nov 12 and Dec. 13 my status from USCIS changed saying that they shipped my case to the NVC and after 10 days they received it, and yesterday they gave me my new case number for my fiancee... good luck to everyone. ..

Man you got lucky that you got the NVC case number. I called uscis and talked to tier 2 and they even dont know why the case hasn't been transferred yet. they just opened a service request.

You probably won't receive email that your petition has been forwarded. Just the NOA2 that you are approved and your petition will be sent to NVC. All you can do is call NVC and call USCIS and stay on it until it arrives.

Brother i have been frustrating from USCIS and NVC. I got approve on Nov 14 and still NVC doesn't have my case yet. so keep on USCIS and found out where is your file at.

My approval says the same thing but CSC hasn't transferred yet. I don't know what they doing with my case. I found out from immigration officer (trier2).

Hey people..i just wanna know that is there anyone who got TRANSFER NOTICE to NVC after NOA2. I got approve on no 14 from CSC (California Service Center) for IR/CR-1. NVC hasn't received my case yet or i should say that CSC hasn't sent them yet. should i expect transfer notice or message from CSC ?? i know Texas service center update the case online with shipping message but other service center doesn't do that.

when you got approval ??

I got approve on Nov 14 and haven't transfer my petition to NVC yet.

It's been over a month for us. I have been calling periodically throughout the week and also sent an email. All of the responses are the same like I'm speaking to a Robot. Next time I call I'm going to try to ask them what the weather is like today. But it just seems like if you haven't reached the 8 week mark you get the stock response. Here is a copy of stock email I received just recently.

Dear Sir/Madam:

Thank you for your inquiry. The National Visa Center (NVC) has not received your petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Please allow at least eight weeks from the date USCIS approved your petition for us to receive it.

Sincerely,

Delia

Also I haven't tried the DOS number yet. I'll try them this week assuming they are open

I know how you feeling man because i got approve on Nov 14 and still my petition hasn't reached to NVC and they always send the same response. I called to USCIS and found out that Immigration officer hasn't sent the petition to NVC (just like that).

Just talked to USCIS trier 2 and she said my petition is still at CSC and not sure why the petition hasn't sent it to NVC. She dig into the computer and came up with that everything is approved but seems like to officer hold my petition for some more days and will send it next week or following week. I don't know why these people waste time when the matter is for human life.

What is ISO? I called uscis today and they said that my petition is there and they don't have date when they gonna send it to NVC.

So, ISO = Immigration service officer = Trier 2 ...I talked to them and they told me that my case is there. after trier2 opened a service request and i called after 5 days to make sure it may be some update on my service request but they said you have to wait for 15days to get an update. So much depressing time.

Same thing with me. My petition was sent to the NVC on Nov. 26th but when I called them I was told that it is not in their system yet.

talk to trier 2 and find out. I saw your timeline and you got approve on Nov 20 so i don't think so trier 1 let you talk to trie2. but keep try you will get one good person out of 20.

so, for the USCitizen Petitioner -

call into USCIS again, get an ISO, and ask if the casefile was sent to NVC or NRC. Don't settle for a service request, instead ask the ISO to look in the system and see if the casefile has actually left USCIS loading dock or if it's still setting on the loading dock

or if it was misrouted to NRC.

Go Get Em, and Good Luck !

Hey guys

I have been approved from USCIS (I-130) nov 14 and after that NVC haven't received the case yet. Its been more than 1.5 months and my petition hasn't showing in the NVC system yet. I have seen some case which also got approved on the same date as mine and already got the case number. I called USCIS and talked to trier 2 and they said petition already transferred to NVC but when i called NVC, they said they didn't get it yet. Anybody gone through this , so please let me know. thanks

I ASKED FOR AN EXPEDITE IN NVC

THEY EMAILED ME THAT THEY NEED TWO FOREIGN NUMBERS

IS THIS A SIGN THAT MEANS MY EXPEDITE MIGHT GET APPROVED ?

How you contact them and what did you say that ??? please brother help me to snail it down. I am already so much behind because of USCIS and just found out that my approve petition still there in USCIS for last 2 months.

so we have to scheduled visa appointment on our own

is that what's new rule?????

How could you say that your case was at dock 12/2 nvc and 12/6 in the nvc building ? i am asking you because my petition got approve and its been more than a month and NVC has no information. Called USCIS and they already sent it. USCIS is not even giving the shipment details.

Guys let me know if you have any information about this... I called NVC to know my case number and they don't have my petition yet so i called USCIS and talked to trier 2 and open an request to know my petition has been shipped or not. trier 2(She) dig into the computer and came up with that my petition has been transferred yet I asked why (NO ANSWERT) so she opened an request to know why my petition hasn't been transferred yet. she gave me the inquiry confirmation number. She said to call back after 30 days (seriously) to know the status of this inquiry. I asked how to transfer my petition ASAP(over night) because this is not my fault that my petition has been sitting there for nothing and i am losing time. she didnt had the answer......Anyone who went through this and have any idea how to make them work fast ???

WOW after One and half month, i found out that my petition has not been shipped to NVC. so much awesome job USCIS and NVC doing. USCIS trier 2 opened an inquiry for my case, why hasn't transferred to NVC. I asked them what about my one and half month lost and petition just sat there for nothing and they didn't give me answer. However they also said that to call back after 30 days to know about this inquiry.. so much frustrated right now

WOW after One and half month, i found out that my petition has not been shipped to NVC. so much awesome job USCIS and NVC doing.

What is expedite request? My case got approve on Nov 14 and NVC haven't received the case yet. However I talked to Uscis today and they said they already sent it to NVC on Nov 14.

Its been a month and they didn't get it yet. Called USCIS today and they made the inquiry with NVC and gave me the confirmation number.

This site has online option and i haven't heard anybody talking about this online. I know about DS 3032 (choice of Agent) and we could email or post it by mail. But i guess doing by online with DS 261 is way faster than email and postal service.

Hey VJ

Does anyone know about this online (Choice of agent) option ? https://ceac.state.gov/CEAC/%C2'>

Thanks

Keep calling them everyday, that is what I have been doing. If your petition was approved and it has been over 30 days then I would recommend calling USCIS and talk to tier-2. Ask them specifically when was your files shipped to NVC, only call if it has been 30 days or else they will just tell you to wait till then.

I already called USCIS and asked about my petition and they said that they already sent it on Nov 14. They dont hold in the office. today i saw some people who got approved on Nov 14 have the case number but not me.....

Called NVC.

I would recommend reading first two posts here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/468369-nvc-filers-december-2013/

It has good information and should answer most of your questions.

Most of the people giving feedback here are K-1 filers and we are Ir/Cr-1 filers, if you have any more question you should ask on the link I provided above where people with CR/IR-1 experience can help you better.

I called NVC today and they still don't have my case number yet. I asked to them to see if they atleast receive my petition but they said they cant find that because mail room is full of mails.

Yes sure you can. Just ask them if they have received it yet or not, they should be able to look into their computer and tell you. Good luck!

Did you call NVC or DOS?

I email them on Monday dec 8 ...asking if they receive my case .....they email me back Wednesday DEC 11 saying they didn't receive it....then I called does Thursday DEC 12 and got my case number .....so don't say they take long to reply until u actually try

Brother I already emailed them 20 days ago and didn't get the reply yet. And its not like i email them only once but twice. When you say DOS, that mean NVC ? what is the DOS number ?
