Mark Hancock reacted to TBoneTX in Status after K1, but before approved I-485
The precise status is "applicant for adjustment," or, more concisely, "adjustment applicant."
Years ago, I had the same question as you, so I asked a helpful immigration lawyer.
During these awkward stages, it's best that the immigrant keep a copy of the most recent documentation in his/her immigration journey:
-- before AOS, keep copy of the AOS cover-letter or first application page sent to USCIS
-- after that, keep the NOA1 (for whichever piece of the process is acknowledged first)
-- after that, green card
-- after that, green card + cover-letter or first application page for ROC
-- after that, NOA1 for ROC
-- after that, next green card

We tried that and other hacks suggested but didn't get anywhere. But now we are past that and have our case number, done the medical interview and waiting to do the embassy interview.

Call USCIS at 800-375-5283 and say "info pass", try to get a tier 2 representative

I'm somewhat stunned but today we received an email from NVC saying they'd received our petition from USCIS and it was now waiting for data entry into their system.

I have my own timeline bug (my timeline is no longer visible or modifiable). It seems to impact others. It’s a pity the timeline issues aren’t getting addressed since that is one of key values of VJ.

I cannot update my timeline to include my NVC receive date from today. I keep getting this error:
When I click "Return to fix errors", it highlights the following boxes, but there's obviously nothing wrong with the dates that were put:

We've tried that and the " live chat operative " cut us off twice. No idea how to get past this. We are now outside the USCIS timeline and still not getting any information from them as to where our petition is. We were approved February 1, 2023.

It’s really unacceptable that USCIS made you wait for 90 days. The worst part is you don’t even know when they will send your petition to NVC. It’s not right that after waiting for 14-15 months for our approval now we have to deal with our approved petitions being held as “hostage” at USCIS. I think you are too nice. Call them as many times as needed, until you get to talk to a Tier 2 representative. Probably they will tell you that it will take 30 days until Tier 2 representative contacts you, but insist that somebody calls back immediately because it’s an urgent matter. I know that they will do it, you just have to be persistent.
I had to deal extensively with USCIS because of my mom’s Naturalization and I have learned all about how to insist on your right. They know nothing about the law and also what’s on their website. You need to point it out to them.
I am so fed up with USCIS for their incompetence and lack of knowledge.
I really hope you hear something soon! It’s not fair to you.
As soon as I reach my 60 days, I am going to contact USCIS. Another 5 days for me…..

Have you tried contacting USCIS and asking to talk to a Tier 2 representative? Possibly asking for a service request?

Mark Hancock reacted to ShandoMoncelle in FEBRUARY 2023 K1 to NOA2 to NVC to EMBASSY
Yeah that's exactly what we did. The response we got after that was that they would contact USCIS but will not give us any running updates so we're still completely in the dark here until we one day get a response

Mark Hancock reacted to Mychal in FEBRUARY 2023 K1 to NOA2 to NVC to EMBASSY
I just got a response this morning and they say haven't received our application from the USCIS either. They said it can take up to 6 weeks, which you are obviously well beyond, for an application to arrive. I was told to check the processing times, and as of April 24 they are working on cases they received from the USCIS on April 14th. But since my case hasn't been received at all it doesn't seem to matter what the timeframes are.
However, the email response from the NVC said that I can send them a scanned copy of my NOA2 letter to nvcresearch@state.gov, which they will then contact the USCIS to find the petition. Before sending them the email I just have to check the contents of my NOA2 to verify that they said they sent the approved application to the NVC.

We're basically in the same boat. Haven't heard anything from NVC since we got our NOA2 on Feb 17th.
We tried public inquiry then emailed them after 30 days. Sent a second email after 60 days to the research@nvc email and they told us they still hadn't received anything but would look into it. We're getting close to almost 90 days now without any updates from NVC and it's so frustrating

Hey guys. My case package was shipped by NVC and is "In Transit". According to DHL tracking, it will reach the consulate next week. Can I go ahead and schedule the interview or should I wait for the letter that NVC sends after it reaches the consulate? Thanks.

For some reason I was thinking the embassy might be faster but I was wrong. This requires patience otherwise someone can go crazy. And when they come to the US another waiting game. God help us and good luck everyone.

So happy to see fellow Ugandans!!
I think the frustrating thing about this whole process is the absolute lack of clarity or order in the process. There's no information given about why anything is happening the way its happening so we can't even be sure it's a country priority thing. Fingers crossed they get in touch with you soon too.
We've sent the general inquiries form and emailed NVC directly with a copy of our NOA2 and with both instances they said they didn't have our file. It really is a luck of the draw thing. Has NVC shared your case number and invoice ID then so you have a way of tracking it? That's so frustrating. This is yet another thing that I'm anxious about.
The whole process is an elaborate exercise in patience 😅

I did the same thing yesterday. I did a live chat with a representative and I was told that my case hasn’t been sent to NVC yet. 49 days and counting….

I actually just tried it and it works. It needs to be on the Live Chat feature, with an actual Customer Service Rep. I asked them if our case has been sent to NVC yet. Apparently our case was only transferred to NVC on April 17th (😒 we got our NOA2 on 28th Feb) so it's been sitting at USCIS this whole time! The CSR agent couldn't tell me why, it was part of the "normal process". NVC hasn't received it yet as of the last inquiry we sent last week on Thursday 20th, they got back to us on Fri 21st saying they didn't have it.
When I asked the agent when we can expect NVC to receive it, they said within 90 days! 😅😭 So I guess someone's trekking across the country with our file.
The wait continues 😬

We're in the same position. NOA2 Feb 2; 83 days; NVC haven't received our petition.
