I thought I'm the only one left out but it seems that there are still Feb filers who filed before me that were not yet approved. I hope we will get our NOA2 soon. My fiance called them up last Fri and he was told that we will hear from them by first week of August. I hope it could be earlier though. Good luck to all of us.

Hi guys I need your advise. Last July 17 I checked the case status online and it says there that on May 30, 2008 the post office sent back to CSC the I129F document since it is undeliverable. My fiancee called them up last July 18 and the lady on the phone was surprised that such appeared on the case status online since they have not sent anything to us yet other than NOA1 and that right now our case is still with the case officer. I felt relieved though but when I checked it again just now that notation is still there. Before July 17 my fiance called them up several times already (twice in June and twice on July) and they never mentioned anything about that notice. He inquired about his mailing address and they have the correct one as well. I'm still worried because they have not yet changed the status in the website. I was expecting that they will put back "case received and pending". Do you think the persons on the phone are more reliable than the website? Are they really updated as to the status of the case?

Hi Everyone,

I found this thread and thought it might be useful to all filers. It is a Q & A with a former adjudicator. I am sure most of you have already seen this, but it was an eye opener to me.

Just for people's reference...this is a method of tracking your petition from the NVC to your embassy...it was posted by rouguewave and a lot of people have used it and found it works. However you have to know what day the NVC sent our petition out:

Please read with the understanding that there are No guarentees here, but just to give you all some information.

It appears that NVC uses DHL as their shipper for embassy packages bound for beneficiary's country embassy's. I know this is nothing new, but on the DHL website (www.dhl.com), you can search for packages based on reference and package number. The first thing you have to do is determine the package number that MIGHT contain your beneficiary's paperwork. As of this posting, this might help or this might drive you crazy. If NVC or DHL changes how they do things, this could all fall apart, but here goes....

Being good beaurcrats, NVC seems to usually code the reference with some form of the following: 'EXP 26 NOV 2007A' where the date is somewhere near (on or before by a day or two) the actual date of shipment. If you KNOW the date they shipped to the embassy (NVC told me and others) then you can adjust the date accordingly and search on reference. You'll see a list of shipments to each of the embassys they shipped to with that reference. For example, if you access the website and enter 'EXP 26 NOV 2007A' into the search by reference area, you'll see 3 pages of shipments. Make sure that the date range includes Nov 26 & 27, but it can be much wider.

You can then look down the list and click on the specific package going to the right embassy. It will contain all the current tracking information, as well as allow you to sign up for updates. Of course, there is no guarentee that you've got the exact package, because it doesn't list the contents. But you can be lulled into a hopeful state that it does, and at least know when THAT package gets to the embassy.

The only anomoly I found was there were packages shipped with 'EXPEDITE IV SECTION' as a reference. You can see an example by looking up shipment #8177298920. I found this one by doing a search by number and feeding in blocks of 25 shipment numbers, starting with the highest from the most recent day of shipment, based on the reference sequence. It appears that the shipment numbers are in order, but NOT sequential. This is probably due to the fact that they use pre-printed forms for shipping, with the numbers printed on them. However, there are gaps in the sequence so don't expect to get 25 returns for 25 numbers requested. There was a place where the number sequence made a HUGE change, but I attribute that to them running out of forms on one pre-printed pack of labels and some shipping guy just started with another set.

Has anyone tried this lately, or maybe you might have more up to date info for the shippers ref? Thanks for all the help... I am sure more than just myself would be using it.
