Might be that nowadays many of these are actually filed under the IOE center?

Weet iemand toevallig met welk bedrijf ze de documenten versturen? 

Mikropost volgens mij, gek dat je nog geen track en trace code hebt gehad want ik had de mijne wel snel.

Meen je niet. Dus je hebt dus niet de vrijheid om zelf je tijd te vullen op het vliegveld. Gelukkig valt drie uurtjes nog mee. Wat is he final destination? Nieuwsgierig 😃

St. Louis, 3 uurtjes waarvan 2 in een vliegtuig zometeen, maarja dat komt goed

Wauwwwww 7 hours!!! Beter dan dat je moet haasten. En hoe je ook niet druk te maken als je als je eerste flight beetje vertraging heeft. Fijne reis!! 

Bedankt!

Ja grotendeels bij US customs zitten wachten, over 3 uur ben ik waar ik moet zijn

Ik heb het via de website aangevraagd die mij hier is aangeraden. Betaalde 7,50 en selecteerde de optie immigratie en even later ontving ik mail van justis om betaling af te ronden en aanvraag te bevestigen via digid inlog. Iemand heeft hier ook een vog gepost en die was goedgekeurd zei ze. Dus zodra ik hem heb vergelijking hem daar even mee. Ik hoop dat het dan wel goed zit. Is erg lastig want je kunt vanaf dit moment weinig vinden dat concreet zegt wat je moet doen. 

als je hebt gedaan wat daar staat dan hebbie gedaan wat ik ook heb gedaan en dat was gewoon voldoende

-ik ben nu onderweg naar amerika btw, echt lange layover 7 uur -_-

@Bunbunbunny @Junhan

 

Ik heb voor mijn VOG aanvraag vorig jaar deze brief meegenomen naar het stadsdeel kantoor (Den Haag). 
 

https://photos.state.gov/libraries/netherlands/19452/public/IVNIVVOGAPPSUPP.pdf

 

"Probleem" was dat de dame aan de balie dacht dat het hiermee niet kon, omdat het ondertekend moest zijn door de instantie. Na enig aanhouden van mijn kant (al werd ik er wel zenuwachtig van), ging ze het toch maar even navragen bij een collega/leidinggevende en kwam ze terug met het antwoord dat het blijkbaar tegenwoordig zo gaat..... Jaja.... Ik had via VJ en FB al het advies van deze brief gelezen, dus no way dat het een nieuwe procedure was. Anyway, eind goed, al goed - VOG 2-3 weken later met de post ontvangen. 

 

Heb deze vraag recentelijk weer in een van de FB groepen gelezen en iemand had een soortgelijke ervaring. Bij anderen gaat/ging het soepeler en kon het gewoon gelijk, maar dus een enkele keer dat een balie medewerker even tegenstribbelt, omdat ze denken dat het met deze brief niet kan.

 

mhm wauw wist ik niet, aan de andere kant klinkt wel als wat drama maarja

Hi mag ik je daarover wat vragen. Ik probeer vog aan te vragen via de gemeente met de hoop dat zij mij beter kunnen helpen. Alleen weten zij het ook niet. Wat heb jij op het aanvraag formulier ingevuld bij de Aanvrager info? Thank you! 

https://www.vog-aanvraag.nl/aanvragen/

Is wat ik heb gebruikt, screeningprofiel: visum/emigratie

Normaal gesproken moet vog aanvraag gestart worden door de instantie die het nodig heeft, in dit geval niet zo daarom leuk zo een site die het aanvraag start voor je

Heel erg bedankt! Heb toch de juiste aangevraagd, dat stelt me weer een beetje gerust. Heb nu alles binnen wat ik kan doen, nu maar wachten tot mijn vriendin haar documenten opstuurt. 

 

Wat lijkt het wachten na de NOA2 lang te duren zeg, papieren zijn nu onderweg naar het consulaat en ik kan maar niet stoppen met de pagina refreshen 😂

Ik ken het gevoel, bij ons had de nvc het teruggestuurd naar de uscis zonder ons wat te zeggen, heeft zo een 5-7 maanden geduurd toen in totaal

Super dat er een topic is voor de dutchies

 

Had een vraagje over de Vog! Heb deze een paar weken geleden aangevraagd maar lees nu dat ik er een specefiek nodig heb voor emigratie? Klopt dit? Bij mij staat er in de email dat deze voor de functie van een visumaanvraag is. Heb ik nu de verkeerde aangevraagd? 

Hey, ik ben niet zeker van het verschil, maar als je je vog al hebt ontvangen kan je het vergelijken met deze screenshot van mijn vog die wel toegestaan was (screening profiel visum EN emigratie)

Als bij jou hetzelfde screeningprofiel staat als bij mij heb je de juiste volgens mij

Ah ok, I went through this part of the process in Feb 2018, so some things (may have) changed since then.

 

Did you submit photo copies of your VOG and birth certificate? If not, they keep the originals. In my case, I had submitted originals and copies and got the originals back. 

Unless those things have changed too and they kept the copies at the consulate and gave you back your originals during your interview? I wouldn't know.

Oh ok, yea I only sent in my originals after the interview, no copies.

Eh i guess i will get some originals quickly before i leave

Been a couple days now, so I assume you've opened the envelop? If not/for future people, below the pic I sent to 2 other people who were right behind me in the process. . 

 

So you can open the first envelop. It contains your passport, original docs, X-ray CD (that you get to keep) and that thing on the right side. The envelop in the middle with the paper stapled to it is the one you're not allowed to open. I believe the back of it also clearly states that you are not to open it/only to be opened by the IO.

alright thanks for the information

I went ahead and opened it, the CD and original documents like police certificate of conduct aren't in there as shown on the picture.

The CD however I received during my interview at the consulate, am I supposed to get my VOG and birth certificate back?

It will go from ready to administrative processing to ready to issued. Very normal process. Breathe, you'll be fine. 

yup you were right

So I have this huge envelope (it has a small tear in it...), sealed with tape.

Am I allowed to open that or not? my passport is inside it? I kinda need the passport to travel right?

Sorry for the amount of questions

On 4/26/2019 at 7:36 PM, Dutchster said:

Them asking for your passport is 100% a positive thing. That means they were satisfied with what you sent. They can't print a visa without a passport (it will be in one of your pages). No worries!

Thank you for your answer, so it's finally time to be optimistic ^-^

They at this moment changed the case status to "ready" not sure if that was a mistake or not but as long as it all goes well I'm good with it

So i had to send my birth certificate by mail after my interview because I had requested the wrong document.

I sent them a renewed police certificate and my birth certificate about 10 days ago.

Now I received an email from them to send them my passport, which scared me because my passport is quite important to me...

What could it mean they ask for my passport? Is this good or bad?

I'm sending it today, like in an hour or so.

Hi there!

 

Is it possible to book your medical in Amsterdam after receiving your casenumer? or did u guys have to wait untill there was a specific interview date?

U can book the medical the moment you have your NVC case number AMS2019------- something like that probably

Just be sure to get interview scheduled within 6 months(i think? double check this, I can't right now i actually have my interview today) after getting the medical, else it expires

Sounds like nvc sent back your case to Uscis to review. If that’s the case I’m sure you will get another NOA2?? 

On 9/21/2018 at 1:30 PM, Greenbaum said:

I am confused you say your case is ready but USCIS is gong to take 6 months to review your case? I'm not sure what that means. Why is USCIS to review your case?

Thanks for your help guys, I was a bit stressed and confused at the time i sent that post out

Here is what happened in chronological order:

In July we received our NOA2.

In August we still had no reply as to why the nvc hadn't sent the case to the embassy yet, so my fiancee had called them again.

They in that conversation in August said they had sent it to the USCIS, after which my fiancee called the USCIS on the same day and they said it would take another 6 months from the moment the received the case from the NVC. 

So in August I was under the impression it was going to take 6 months, as in the case would only be ready February 2019.

With that time frame in mind I decided to plan a trip to my fiancee for about 80 days starting in October, allowing me to be back just in time for that expected tine frame mentioned above.

Against all odds, a couple days ago they happened to have sent the case to the embassy.

Whilst I was still expecting it to be taking until next year, it was ready yesterday.

However I am leaving next month, so I was scared of having to go into the i129F waiting line again. (hence the panicking lol)

Turns out that the embassy can automatically extend the validity of the NOA2 which is due to expire in November 2018. I have mailed them yesterday because despite them being able to automatically extend the validity they are not obligated to do so. I should be getting an email from them on Monday or Tuesday next week.

Hopefully they will be able to extend it.

Hi, today my case has finally been set to ready!

After we received our NOA2 the NVC sent the case back to the USCIS for another review.

They never told my fiancee and me until my fiancee started calling them.

At some point the USCIS told her it was going to take another 6 months.

With that in mind I decided to visit her sooner for 80 days starting next month.

The NOA2 is going to expire in November but I will not be in the country at that time.

I had a medical appointment booked but decided to cancel it when I heard it was taking another 6 months to avoid having to pay for it twice.

Now I am going to leave so soon I will not have the time to book another appointment before that time.

What should I do?

I contacted the consulate, I am expecting an answer in about 2 work days, so Monday probably.

I don't know what to do. Can I extend my NOA2 until after I have a medical, probably estimating it to be in February?

Do I need to cancel my trip to my fiancee in order to still be able to move anytime soon?

Our case is finally ready ^~^

However I cancelled my medical of earlier this month because I was told it was going to take another 6 month for the USCIS the review the case.

With that in mind I planned a trip to my fiancee for 80 says starting the 13th of October but the NOA2 is going to expire in November.

What can I do to prevent having to redo the 129f and preferably also not cancel my trip?

NVC received my case on August 16, case number was assigned on August 17. Do you know the batch numbers they send out yesterday? Mine is not even a week yet after Case number was assigned on August 17

Actually I don't know the batch numbers sent out but if your case has been there for 1 week them wait for the next time they send out batches

my case number (A**********) still at NVC but  it's the 3rd in line on the batch but ignored still at NVC. Consulate is Accra Ghana.So pissed. Is there any way i could contact NVC and ask why case was ignored?

Call them, don't wait too long

My case was 'being ignored' too, and when we called after a month we got to hear it was sent back to the USCIS

Niiiiiiceee how was the flight?

Yes you can travel, you dont have your K1 visa yet so your esta is still valid. Be aware though that they might want proof that you will return back to the Netherlands since you have immigration intent so take a lease or letter from your employer with you that you are expected back, especially when traveling for that long a period. They have the right to refuse you at the border. 

I also think that within those three months you will see your case back at nvc and your consular par started up. 

No, the enquery would be done during USCIS stage enquiring about why its taking so long to process your case. 

Alright, probably will have to get a new esta because i have a new passport now.

What other documents can I show at the border to effectively proof I'm actually going back home because I'm a freelance developer so I don't have an employer at the moment nor do I have a lease as I postponed moving out of my parent's because well I had hoped to be gone in like a month or two from now 🤣🤣

There seems to be some additional steps that USCIS may have forgotten or missed or there are some issues from the background checks. This will delay you but no one can say with any certainty how long that will be. I'd count on at least 30-60 days to start. I know you are disappointed but if your marriage is meant to be the two of you will stick together and support each other and see this through. If I can help just PM me.

 

You might try both options below.

 

First try shooting off an email to the Ombudsman at cisombudsman@HQ.DHS.GOV The Ombudsman provides an impartial and independent perspective to USCIS in an attempt to resolve problems.

 

Second try your U.S. representative's contact information can be found in this handy directory, and your U.S. senator's information is in this one.

 

If you receive a response and it contains anyone of these sentences this will be the meaning of that phrase.

 

If the CSC response is due to a congressional case worker inquiry, the service center will say "security checks"

 

If the CSC response is from a regular service inquiry from their website, the service center will say "adjudication"

Thanks, sounds like something I can do

One more question, is it safe to now travel to my fiancee using an esta for 3 months?

3 hours ago, Little_Vixen said:

... I missed this...

I'm so sorry! Did you by any chance put in an enquiry? I know cases get pulled back from nvc to finish those cause apparently uscis is unable to process them without the physical case (that's why vj experts say never ever file an enquiry).

No problem XD

We once called the NVC for the case number and a month after it as well but by them it was already sent back.

Not sure if that constitutes an inquiry
