Oh!

WAIT!

There it is:

Poor thing. I knew they had overdone it!

That is too funny - and probably not far from the truth!!!!!

OH MY GOSH!!! WE GOT APPROVED!!

NOA2 date is OCT 16!!

WARM THANKS to all of you who helped us with this USCIS process!!

MOST OF ALL, THANKS TO OUR LORD!

God bless us all and see you again on this long journey...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Is 2 weeks the norm for the time it takes for the approved petition to get from the USCIS service center to the NVC? Also, can you use the automated NVC phone system to accurately check the status of your case, or is it better to speak with someone in person? I have been checking the system by following the automated prompts, but would like reassurance that the voice system has the most up-to-date information about my case.

Recently it has been taking longer for petitions coming from CSC to reach the NVC. If you look at some of the timelines here on VJ its been taking anywhere from 2-6 weeks.

You will want to talk with a Customer Service Rep. instead of using the automated NVC phone system to verify that they have received and sent your petition to the embassy.

I hope this helps!

I can hardly wait to get my NOA2 (I am at day 145), so I can get back in line and wait for my petition to get to NVC. How insane is this process!!!!!!!!

Afterforever,

I hope you get your NOA2 REAL soon! I'm sending LOTS of luck your way. One thing is for sure - this process is a rollercoaster of emotions and a true test of patience.

Thanks for you kind words. Now that I think back about my phone call I think the person on the end of the line was screwed up on their estimate. The 6 months is their time frame to approve K1 petitions, not the time period to send them to NVC. Second, the lady mentioned the delays in sending people receipts as if this actually applied to me and my current status. I kept reiterating to her that I was approved and I was not one of the people calling waiting to be approved by them. Oh well.

Part of my job is customer service, and if I came close to treating a customer like I was treated today then I wouldn't have a job.

WHERE DO THEY FIND THESE PEOPLE!!!!?????

Dude.. I'll fly down there and hand deliver my packet to NVC.

Hi Aaron,

I called the NVC today as well. They said they don't have a record of receiving our petition, yet. I just said thanks and hung up. The lady who took my call didn't sound too pleased so I didn't even bother asking any further questions.

You and I have the same NOA2 date so I guess we're back to the waiting game....again...

Keep us updated if you hear anything.

Whoooo, I just received a letter in the mail that NVC has our package dated October 11th. and will mail it on to the embassy in Peru within a week. Keep the faith everyone, especially the June filers, here we go!!!

WOW!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

i thought i posted this already but now i don't see it...

got NOA2 approval notice today! roughly 127 days since NOA1, via NSC and CSC. No touches prior just woke up and found an approval email, and had the good fortune to get it while we're actually together (i'm out here on vacation for a week)..

updated our timeline for folks..

CONGRATULATIONS to you!!!

Good luck on the rest of your journey!

I received a letter from the NVC today saying they received my case and it will be forwarded to the embassy! Finally after almost 6 weeks!

Congrats! It won't be long now!

Hey guys,

I called NVC again today and actually spoke to a decent human for a change She said for me to check at the end of this week or the first of next week to see if they have my petition. She says it should only take about four weeks. Wednesday makes four weeks for us. Let's go NVC!!!! WOOHOOO!

Good! I'm glad you talked to someone at least halfway helpful! Hopefully your petition will be at the NVC SOON!!!!!!

Just got an e-mail notification saying our petition has been approved, i think its 147 days, havent been this happy in a long time.

A very sincere congratulations to you! It sure is a great feeling! Now, c'mon and lets get to the NVC!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Any news from May Filers with NOA2 Approval and how long the NVC is taking?

For example, my NOA2 date is 9-24-07 and I received the hardcopy on 9-28-07. Since then nothing...

We have the same NOA2 date. I haven't heard anything either. From what I can see its been taking around 30 days for petitions at CSC to reach the NVC.

Whoo Hoo!!!! Congrats on the NOA2!!! Lets hope for a speedy journey to the NVC now!!

Its all about hurry up and wait again....

Good luck on the rest of your journey!!

Congratulations!

Confirmed NVC has received our file today. However, it has not been entered into their computer in order to generate our new case # with NVC. I was advised to check back next week.

Congrats, Arinola! Hopefully they will get your file entered and you will be outta the NVC in no time since it took so long for them to receive the petition.

Good luck!

WOW!!!! Very cool!!! Wishing you and your SO all the best! November will be here before you know it!

Never mind, misread their timeline

No problem!

Why would they call the service center?

I was wondering the same thing....it clearly states on the NOA2 that the USCIS is done processing the petition and to contact the NVC.

Hi,

Our stuff has been sent to the NVC, but I want to call after two weeks and ask them what the status is. I really think calling helped push our NAO2 through. Does anyone know the number to call? I dont just call the service center do I? And, I know this sounds stupid, our cases still updated online at this point, that is, after leaving the service center? Im just trying to figure out how to keep track of our case after receiving the NAO2. Thanks--Amye

The number to the NVC is 603-334-0700.

The NOA2 states that the USCIS has completed all action; further inquiries should be directed to the NVC.

We have the same NOA2 date....I haven't tried calling yet because I think its still a little too early.

Good luck to you & I hope this helps!
