How long - NOA2 from VSC to NVC??

[fourjudge 0]

Can some folks with first had experienece please tell me how long it it takes for NVC to show received in their system, from the actual approval date on the NOA2 letter? I see the processing timeline says the avaerage is about 9 days, but when I look at many of the individual timelines, it always seems shorter..closer to 5 days. Mine is at 11 days and when I call the automated # at NVC (it is 603-334-0700 for those of you that may need that) , it still says there is no record of my case.

Thanks averyone for putting up with my obssesiveness with this process...it has been quite a road!

You will probably never "hear" the update when you call them and use the automatic system. (for K-1)

I received a letter stating they were sending my package in the next week to the embassy.

Their system stills says "no sign" of my petition.

The automated response is of no use for K visas - it will never have a record of your case file. You MUST speak to an attendant to get status of your case. As soon as you connect (you'll frequently get a busy signal), press 1 and then 5, and then wait for operator. Welcome to NVC

For 9 days to be an average, there has to be some below that amount and some above that amount. Doesn't mean 'get worried' when you pass 9 days.

In our case - when speaking to a live person, was told several times the case was not there - then the final call was told the case was indeed transferred already (a week before).

As stated above - call in the morning, keep trying even when you get the busy signal - and stay on the line once the recording starts (don't hang up). It will happen - sooner or later.

Thanks for the advice everyone...I am now calling each day to NVC and actually talking to a person each time...it is day 17 now and they still dont even show received....should I be getting concerned? Another thing that was strange was that my NOA2 approval letter said it was being sent to the consulate...I have seen copied of others NAO2 and they say it is going to NVC first...have others seen that too?

Recommend you check out this thread... delays in NVC receiving petitions following NOA2 are becoming more common.
