October and November filers-NOA2 to NVC

[SonoranSongbird 3]

Also, thank you to Melusine and ZeeNusah because I also thought it was the automated system you call to find out. That would have been very frustrating.

When you call the NVC, it gets very frustrating because of their phone system. I found it best to call just before they close. However, I did get through around 10pm EST. Good luck to you, very exciting after your case hits the NVC because you've got more movement after a long wait and begin to find new stuff to look forward to. I suggest to begin to get all your paperwork together wiht I-134 because making sure it is correct can take a bit leg work on the USC's part.

Congratulations!!!!! We are October fillers too.We got our NVC hardcopy last March 3. Now waiting what's gonna be next. Hope it will be fast like your papers. Crossing our fingers.

Okay, I called last night and NVC has it. I think my brain malfunctioned while I was on the phone with them, so I did not think to ask when they got it or if it had been sent to the consulate yet (I also almost gave my fiance's birthdate as February 2007).

For those who have not tried calling yet, what is a bit frustrating about their phone system is that it won't just leave you on hold if no operator is available; instead, it routes you back to the automated system immediately, which would be well and good if you could enter your USCIS receipt number and get the information you want, but you can't. It also has a message telling you to try back after 6 pm EST, but when I tried calling it WAS after 6 pm EST. I called back at about 11:30 their time and got through immediately.

Hi, Applewow. Yeah, I think you just use the number NVC gave you to track it now. If you need to email NVC for any reason, they want you to put the number they gave you in the subject line of the email. I have no idea whether you can use that number to check on your petition using their automated phone system.

The thing is your petition will go through NVC so quickly that it is kind of silly that they assign you a new number. I could be wrong, but I think the consulate will then assign you yet another number. Plus to track it to the consulate, you use a tracking number from DHL.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Maybe someone else can give you a better answer.

The number NVC gives you is the case number. That is the number from here on out. You can reference that number with the NVC, the Embassy, and the Dept of State.

I dont think it means you have passed any checks, its just the case number assigned. Once they tell you it has been sent, or you receive the letter from them, then its pretty safe to say you have passed the checks.

Thank you, Lucy. That's good to know.

Hi everyone!! We got our NOA2 on 3/10/08 and I'm joining the "NOA2 to NVC Club"!!!

My fiance is moving this week and I need to call and find out if our case is at the NVC so that I can change my SO's mailing address for packets 3 and 4.

How long did you all have to wait to call until NVC received your case?

[SonoranSongbird 3]

I don't know exactly when my petition got to NVC. We got our NOA2 on February 27 and I called them on March 6, which is 8 days later. The processing times section of VJ gave the average time for petitions to get from USCIS to NVC as 10 days the last time I looked.

Thanks, SS! I'll try them this Friday and also next week...I need to catch them to make the address change before they send out our package to Barbados.

I called NVC last night, and they said they received our application from CSC on March 5th, and sent it to Vancouver on March 7th! Finally, things are happening!

They had no problem with talking to me, even though I'm the beneficiary.

Now I can start checking my mailbox everyday for Packet 3...
