Hi everyone,

I've been looking at the history of timelines and it looks like from NOA2 to NVC receipt is usually only a few days (even though they say on the NOA wait for 90 days). We had our I130 approved from CSC on September 20 and the case hasn't arrived at NVC yet.

Is anyone experience similar delays? Is there some sort of backlog at NVC that I should know about?

Thanks so much!

Take a look at my timeline. I was approved on the 17th and NVC received it on the 24th.

Are you going by the automated voice system or have you talked to a live person? In my case the system still says no record. Other people have gotten all the way through and the system still says no record of receipt. So make sure you talk to a live person and call every day.

here is a link where you can see the status of people approved in September to get a better idea of what is going on.

I had my I129F and I130 approved on September 8th. NVC received the I129F on September 15th and sent us a letter acknowledging receipt and its case number. We did not receive any such letter for the I130, and the automated system also did not have the I130 on it.

We're going the I129F route so not really following up on the I130. Not sure of its status.

Thanks Garu. That's good advice. I somehow presumed that the automated system was accurate but I'm seeing cases which were approved after ours and NVC already received and case number assigned. How frustrating!!

I love that spreadsheet. How do I become a member of that group to add my info in?

Thanks!

So I took Garu's advice and called the operator and got a live person who did in fact have both our case received and our INN number! Thanks for the suggestion. I think I will ensure that I get a live operator from now on for any updates on our case. Clearly the automated system is not reliable!

Cheers and congrats!

The AVC is actually pretty good, but NVC is a bit backed up not much, but keep in mind that if your file is coming from CSC it takes longer than from Vermont - long thread on that somewhere - but again the AVC is good with certain information,. god speed and good luck
