I can't even imagine how much harder it is for you two, especially since you have a daughter. They should expedite cases in those instances. When we applied back in June 2021, I thought the wait times were gonna get better, not worse! I, too, regret not going the marriage route. I was actually living with my fiance in Turkey and came back to the U.S. in January 2022 because I stupidly assumed we would be done by May 2022. Ugh, I really hope your petition gets shipped tomorrow. I also hope Ankara opens up more interview slots because 3 months away is ridiculous! I was under the impression that the embassy wasn't backlogged.

My NOA2 is Aug 24th but I don't have a case number yet. Someone else from VisaJourney that recently scheduled an interview at the Ankara embassy stated that the earliest available appointments were in late January 2023. 😭 I didn't expect it to be that far away. I will also be going through the Ankara embassy.

When I called USCIS on Sept 30 (Friday), they told me that my petition's status was "ready for shipping on Sept 28." That same day I emailed NVCResearch. The following Monday, Oct 3rd, NVC responded that they did not have my petition. I emailed again on Oct 5th and they immediately replied, this time confirming that they received my petition. I don't know if the petition was received on Oct 4th exactly, but I'm assuming it was received sometime between Oct 3rd-Oct 5th.

Did you use the following email address: NVCResearch@state.gov? They've always responded to me within 3 days. However, if you submitted an inquiry via the online portal, you probably won't get a response for another few weeks. I submitted an inquiry through the portal about 3 weeks ago and never received a response. For NVCResearch, I just included my USCIS Rcpt # in the subject line, and then I wrote something simple like: "I would like an update on the status of my case. Has my petition been received by NVC?" And I included my USCIS rcpt#, name, and my date of birth. Good luck!

Call again and speak to another agent. I called USCIS yesterday to ask whether my petition had been sent to the NVC and the agent told me to call them back if the NVC did not receive my petition after 90 days, LOL. I told the agent that many other people have been successful at getting this information. After that, the agent investigated further and was able to tell me that their system had my petition's status as "sending as of Sept 28." Today, I submitted an inquiry to NVCResearch@state.gov and they immediately replied, confirming that my petition had been received. You just need to push them a little. Some of these agents are inexperienced, or possibly don't want to do more work than needed.
