Hi everyone! I just sent NVC an email regarding a request for a petition upgrade from F2A to IR-1..i'm just wondering is it reliable to just email them (which is btw an instruction from an agent)? or do i need to submit the hard copies of my naturalization certificate? How long does it usually take? Thank you as always for your replies.

Hi,

You should attached a copy of your naturalization certificate and a copy of Notice of Approval for I-130 (I797). You can email them or mail.

In my case, it took more than 20 bussines days (almost a month).

Just called NVC and I got an interview date - October 18 :-)

I just called NVC and I got my interview scheduled for October 19th. at 8:45AM. I'm sooo happy & excited!!

The operator said they will be sending out the confirmation e-mail today.

Guys call NVC!

:thumbs:

I'm also waiting and hoping for an October interview. Congrats.

(Witaj Gosiu! Gratulacje. Mam nadzieję, że też uda mi się dostać interview na pazdziernik.)

really... thats crazy... it looks like NVC don't have any standard time frame for any process...

Yeah...crazy...They told me they have 20 days for opening and reading your correspondence and then 6-8 weeks for decision...

I hope for October interview.

Today the petition was upgraded. It took 22 business days.

I guess you can request to speak to a supervisor (Monday, August 22nd). Hopefully, your case will be upgraded by then. Please keep me posted. I saw that another VJ member has his case upgraded in just 4 business days.

Ok, I let you know.I hope they'll upgrade till Friday.

Wow! Have you tried to call the NVC? I just don't understand what takes so long, especially if a copy of the naturalization certificate was included.

Yes, I've tried a few times and recieved a standard response: "We have 20 days for reply..." .I've sent the mail and e-mail with the naturalization certificate and I-797 notice of approval and nothing.

There will be exactly 20 days on Friday so I'm waiting...

Hi All,

I have the same situation. We sent our packet to upgrade a case on July 20th, NVC received it on July 25th and still no response. It's almost 20 business days.
