Hello to everyone!

My fiance and I are still stuck with USCIS-NVC for I-129F. Got approved (NOA2) 07-07-08 and still no notice from NVC whether they received it or not. Called US embassy here in Manila.. been told we don't have a manila case number yet. Called and emailed NVC and told us our papers haven't reached their systems yet and that we need to wait 90 days to get a notice from them. USCIS claimed/informed us that within 2-4 weeks NVC should receive the petition.

My fiance and I are confused as where is our paperworks now. We are stuck in a big black mystery. Anybody who has the same experience? What should we do?

Thanks!

There are lots of people, specifically from CSC, who seem to be getting stuck in limbo between approval and NVC.

Months ago it was stated by others that they waited to have a pallet full of approved petitions before sending a shipment across Country to New Hampshire. However, it seems some people from CSC reach NVC in just a matter of days so i'm not sure that's the case and I don't think anyone really has an answer for you.

I know it's hard, especially after the long wait for the approval...but you are not alone. I'm sure if you did a search you'd find some recently approved folks going through the same thing. I do hope you are entered into the NVC soon.

good luck

maybe it has to do with summer vacation schedules at these places in New England...short-staffed, can't add staff due to our economy, etc. etc.

uscis is funded by our petition fees.

This slow down happens all the time so who really knows.

I hope next week is the week that you will receive good news about NVC receiving your case. I sincerely pray that you are able to rejoice in just a short while. I am asking the angels to work overtime for you.

Well, it's been more than 4 weeks since your approval, so if it's supposed to be 2-4 weeks. Try calling the Dept of State just for another place to ask somebody.

(202) 663-1225, press 1, then 0

Looking at CSC timelines-- For NOA2 approvals from July 1-July 14

44 are listed and 34 show some further activity, so they aren't saving up for a big shipment. Not all put dates of NVC receiving, but they have interviews or something to indicate their case has moved on. You never know if people keep up with their timelines, so some of those 10 showing nothing could also have their case moved forward. I would keep calling everybody in the US...USCIS, NVC, DOS and begging or whatever it takes until somebody will give you some good news or help.

So sorry you are having this trouble.

Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I'm really hoping next week will be the happy week coz my fiance will be here on the 31st of Aug and will stay for a week. It's his 5th visit and will be the last for this year 08 because he has no vacation time left.
