Lost 129F CSC to NVC

[soon~tobe 0]

Hi All,

So my I129F was approved on Dec. 19th 2008. Today would be the 6 week mark. I have called NVC at least twice again since the 3rd week. I have talked to a live person (just covering all the questions people will ask) and every time I am I told, my petition is not in the system and that means they haven't received it. They say it normally takes 2-4 weeks but could take up to 90. My NOA2 says if you haven't received notice from the NVC after 4 weeks to start calling. Can I use that to send to my Senator or Congressman to get them to start looking for my petition, or do I have to wait the full 90 days?

Both CSC and NVC say they don't have my case, I am afraid it is lost somewhere and I don't want to wait 90 days to find this out. I already have a church reserved for April 25th (yes, I know stupid, I can change it but there are sentimental reasons we wanted to get married on this date). If I wait the full 90 days to find out they lost it, then I really doubt we will get to get married on this date.

Has anyone contacted a senator before the 90 days, what has been the result? Any other advice would be appreciated.

I would definitely contact your congressman for help. I faced a similar situation, but instead of the problem being from USCIS to NVC, it was from NVC to the embassy. There's a thread I started last week about this, you can see the posts there. I began to suspect early on that NVC had made a mistake in forwarding, I spoke to them about this multiple times, they were not helpful and even rude when I would speak with them. I finally got my congressman's office involved, they got an answer within one day. And, I was right - NVC did make the mistake I had suspected. The process got moving again, and if I had contacted my congressman, I would still be waiting.

I would encourage you to get them involved. Your approvals are only valid for a limited time, so there is little benefit to sit around and wait for them to determine if there's a problem. You may be waiting a long time. Get your rep's office involved. That's what they are there for.

I am in the same situation. Not to dash your helps, my congressman was helpless. I guess it depends on how their staff is.

Good luck.

yeah, I am not expecting much, but I am hoping if my congressman asks, maybe they will atleast tell him where it is....not holding my breath but I have to do something.

Did you put down that the embassy you would be going to is Nairobi, Kenya?

yes, I put the right Embassy, but it hasn't made it to the Embassy yet, hasn't even made it to the NVC....or so they say.
