Thank you for this info! That's what we were planning to do that take the checklist and also the copy of NOA2 to get the PCC because I've heard nightmares about it being obtained from Ahmedabad Hopefully my fiance won't run into any problems.

On the bright side our petition is in transit to the US Consulate in Bombay/Mumbai

Yeah, I've heard it takes the most time in Gujarat. Other states are easier to get PCC. That's nice to hear your petition is in transit! When are you planning on scheduling the interview?

Hello everyone

So I called and received case number from NVC for our K1 visa petition. Our case is going to be assigned to the US Consulate in Bombay/Mumbai, India. It is currently at NVC. While we are waiting for some correspondence from NVC, we were thinking about obtaining a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC).

Here's my question: Will the Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) in Ahmedabad, India, grant him a PCC just based on our NOA2 or do we have to wait for a letter from NVC? He obtained his passport back in 2007 and it has a validity of 4 years, I think.

Any insight is much appreciated.

I hope you have a blessed day and a blessed weekend!

This maybe just one such case, but I'd like to share with you my friend's case in getting a PCC from Ahmedabad. They did not give him a PCC or entertain him until he got the letter from the NVC. But you may try using the NOA2. It maybe a person to person issue.

Hi all, I called the NVC today and they said they received my case today and to wait 30 days for the case number. I hope it doesn't take that long though.....

Great to hear they received your case! I don't think it takes that long. From the patterns I'm seeing, those petitions which were sent on 8/27 have been "received" today. Those for 8/28 will be "received" on 9/8 and so on. From these patterns, those petitions which were shipped on 8/28 for example maybe will have a case number assigned on 9/9. Just a possibility!

Our noa2 was 22nd. The email about that on the 25th. Physical it came the 27th or 28th.

Guess I could call when i come home.

From the patterns seen, they seem to send them bundles. Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays seem to ship on Wednesdays. Tuesdays on Fridays. And Wednesdays on the following Wednesdays.

Mine now shows up on the CEAC Website. Says Case created 8-28-2014 & status updated to ready today, 9-3-2014. I could be way off base here, but I think that means it left NVC today. However, I will not call till Friday to verify, as instructed by NVC when I was on the phone with them last Friday.

Edit: Congrats on all the recent approvals & updates!

Great news! Doesn't ready mean its already at the consulate? If it left the NVC en route, I think it would show up as "In Transit".

Will it do that at the same interface from when it went to Post Decision? I think I will call today when my fiancee is working or can only the petitioner call?

Yeah, it should do it there. It is supposed to change to "we shipped this approved case to DOS." From what I understand, only the petitioner can call for updates at NVC and USCIS.

Keep checking the USCIS website in case you don't get the update. Mine was shipped 6 days after NOA2 but I think that was fast.

Thanks, I'll keep checking. I don't understand how they work this system! Lol.

Yes. You should receive an additional update.

I have not received any updates. Up to how long is considered normal? A week? Two?

For those receiving their NOA2s in the past few weeks, anyone have an update to their post-decision activity from "we have approved this I129F petition..." to "we shipped this approved case to the Department of State..." on the USCIS website yet?

Hi all,

My fiance has two permanent addresses (both are properties owned by her parents and in the same city). She lives at one address now (address used in the soon to be filled in the DS-160 and already written in I-129F and G-325A) and one address that she used to live at (property still owned) that is in the passport.

So, when getting Police Clearance Certificate (PCC), she can show proof of her new address, no worries there. But post-interview for K-1 at the embassy, when affixing the visa, will it be an issue?

Thanks.

Background:

My fiance (beneficiary) in India has changed addresses. On the I129F, we listed her "permanent" address - parent's address. While on the G325A, since it asks for current (as of the filing date) address, her address at the time of the application submission was written. Since then, she has moved back with her parents. The consulate has not received the application yet.

Question:

Does the beneficiary receive any mail from the consulate or NVC directly?

And if so, which address do they use - on the I129F or the G325A?

Also, if needed, whom to contact to have the address changed?
