nvc process

[thelastpetitioner 218]

I'm not very familiar with the way NVC works.So I have a question.

Why do people contact NVC via phone every day?what happens if one is not able to?Is it really that crucial to the process?

After USCIS approves your I-129F petition, it's forwarded to the National Visa Center to be assigned a case number (it shouldn't take long...usually 5 days tops), then it's sent to your local US Embassy for visa review, processing and issuance.

For permanent resident/green card applicants (like IR1/CR1), NVC serves a different function...they conduct all the reviews before sending the petition to the US Embassy...so that process takes longer, depending on the circumstances of the applicant(s).

Applicants contact the NVC for a variety of reasons, but mostly to find out if their petitions have been forwarded to the US Embassy already and if they have their case number.

so there is no absolute need to contact them if anything goes normal.correct?

the reason i ask is,my fiance and i have filed for k-1,he is active military,currently stationed outside of the states,going back for training in about two weeks.

we still havent gotten approved or denied.during his time in training he wont be able to access internet or phone service,therefor,the fact that majority of people contact nvc worried me a little.

never the less they will contact us with the new case number,correct?

thank you by the way

If you don't have an NOA2 yet, then there isn't any reason to contact NVC at the moment.
