Where are they?

So I stayed up til 2:40 am Moscow time because the NVC operating system told me to call back after 6pm EST to get a non-busy operator when I called before. Well now I'm getting the same message and NVC hasn't responded to my last 2 email inquiries. Another waste of time and money.

What was the contact number and method you used to get a hold of the NVC? How did you ask the question to get this answer from them, if you recall? I find that they only answer what is asked, and sometimes try to give you less than satisfactory answers wherever possible.

Also, I don't see pics?

I emailed the Moscow embassy's visa section and asked them if they sent my petition back and on which date.

Then I called the NVC number (603 something - you can find it on the main topic list under regional:NVC) about 7pm EST (I tried 3 times to get a live person - keep calling back) and I confronted the rep with the date of return (May 25) and said I KNOW that the petition is in your mailroom, your building, or somewhere with one of your reps, likely misplaced - could you please check on it. I also mentioned that NVCInquiry@state.gov had not responded to my last several emails.

If that brings you no joy, my advice is to ask for a supervisor, get their name, explain the situation and ask them to personally look into finding your file for you and when should you call them this week to get an update. If they say call in a week or so (or later), say that's unsatisfactory - you've been waiting too long (over 60 days) and you deserve an answer this week and that you will call them personally back in a couple of days for an answer otherwise you will take it up with the USCIS Ombusdman and mention them by name.

Oh and I uploaded the pics again, although neither of us is particularly photogenic

Sorry to be hogging my own post but I got some really good news today that my case was re-opened yesterday. That means they are finally working on the MIA cases. If the 10 of you left need to vent or get more info or whatever, I will keep the post going until we ALL are re-opened!!!

Have they updated your status on the uscis website? Who told you it was updated yesterday?

Cig, You guys look like a great couple!

Anyways, I am going to call today to see what can be done about this. I am not sure I am using the right number though. The one I found doesn't start with a 603. I'll cite the e-mail I got from the Embassy and try to get to the bottom of it.

I found it. I will call right now.

I think it's high time that we (by my count 11 of us) whose recalled petitions have been lost by either the UK, Russia, Thailand or Phillipines embassies start sharing information between ourselves in a new post, since there seems to be so little available. I for one have absolutely no idea where my k1 petition is. VSC don't got it, NVC don't got it, and the Embassy was supposed to send it like 2 months ago. My wedding party is 2 days away from postponed, as are my fiance plans to resume university in the fall. Luckily my fiance works for the US consulate and has been promised action on her behalf this week by someone-of-power at the Embassy to find out what happened to our petition. And I will post the findings here.

As far as the rest of you go, and I'm only talking about those of you like me who have NOT gotten their case re-opened, please share any and all information and thoughts you can.

I'm not sure about the UK, Thailand, or Russia, but the Philippines Embassy sent back all the IMBRA affected K1 petitions on June 2nd. The NVC received them on June 5th. For us it took the NVC the rest of June to acknowledge our petition was there, re-process it and send it back to the VSC. The VSC has it sitting on a desk somewhere waiting to be reunited with the "A" file. Until that is done they won't be able to say "yes we have it here and its being updated as we speak", which is what we're all waiting for. I've been in contact with my congressman and expressed my dissatisfaction. They urged me to wait another 2 weeks for a response then they'll start leaning a bit harder on them.

I finally, after 6 tries, got through to the NVC and was told it was sent on the 19th to the VSC. In what way did you find out your case was re-opened? Was it via e-mail? or post? or did you call the VSC?

Maybe, just maybe, things might actually be moving for us now.

I feel bad for you

Thanks, well feel less bad then before though. At least now I know it's not lost. It just may take until next Wednesday to actually finally hear the official word, even though it's 8 weeks late. I hope that it wont take 8 weeks to finally get an RFE though.

Cigarovich, I know you've now seen action so I think I'm the only active one on this board who has not heard or learned anything new for 90 days. Since the others may not have visited to update the list, is there anyone else like me who's case has not been touched and has not heard anything since the cancelled interview? My calls, letters, expedite requests, etc. have yielded nothing.

milestogo: I called on Monday 24th and the lady at NVC told me it was definately sent out VSC on 7/21. Hopefully by Friday they will update my case on the website and have it reopened. I feel for you though.

I mean I think I am the worst, I check my email like 50 times a day.

Hello to all that like us are waiting, waiting, waiting,

Being in NY, I have just sent an email to Hillary Clinton outlinning my Timeline and of course adding that what Immbra has caused is destroying lives and accomplishing nothing else.

It will be interesting to see the response, If You check my Timeline, NVC sent to Guangshou China on 5/01/06 never to be heard from again ! Poof !

They even have the nerve to insult our intellegence by writing that They still have not received the petition, BS is still BS if it be in English Chinese or this growing list of Embassies that tell bigger lies than ####### Cheney ! Ouch

Hey put the shoe where it should Go !

To everyone, Hope those papers magically appear in Your mailboxes very soon.

God, I think I need a drink Now, and I don't drink ! Hmmm Got to figure this one out !
