September 2009 Filers! CSC

[Roy G. Biv 0]

Hi guys! I just want to share u guys that i just recvd an email from uscis few minutes ago. Our petition got approved!!! Im so happy!

Woohoo! Congratulations!

I'm actually surprised with myself. I have not called NVC once, and I really don't have any intentions to. I know how to check their shipping out, and the last few shipments have had papers going to Montreal, so I'm content with that. I also know I have another 3-6 month wait for the whole interview process, but this is the final stretch; I'm happy with the pace right now. I'm so looking forward to May, though, because that's when I get to see him again, and what's comforting about it is that I know that I will not have to sat goodbye to him again at the end of this trip!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful New Years, and I wish you all speedy processing times!!

How do you do this?

The commonality of the petitioner's name in the US is the one that matters, the USCIS processing is a background check of the petitioner (the U.S. citizen) not the beneficiary. The beneficiary shows their ability to come to the US with the medical exam and police clearances required for the visa interview. I've also read the NVC does a brief check on the beneficiary, basically checking if the beneficiary has previously overstayed a visa or committed any fraud on previous applications/ visas.

I'm assuming you're the beneficiary with the "here in italy". Forgive me if I assumed wrong.

In other news, it appears from DHL website that Manila received our package from NVC last evening. We should be able to set our appointment today if they get it entered in their database. The good/ bad news is they received packages from the 28th, 29th, and 30th all last night. So the good part is yes, ours is most likely there, the bad part is they have a lot to enter or several packages to enter.

Yeah I am the beneficiary. I thought they were checking me at the moment more than the petitioner. This is good news though: she keeps asking me when I am moving there and gets kinda upset when I reply "I don't know", as if it was my fault that it's taking this long for my visa.

at least next time I'll answer that it's because of her and not because of me

Anyway, hopefully we will receive our NOA2 soon, I can't wait.

Good luck with your journey and congratulations to everybody who was approved in these past days.

Don't apologize for being excited. You've been waiting for this just as anxiously as the rest of us! Things are moving along for you and I'm thrilled.

Call NVC again and find out when they sent it to the embassy, since the appointment line is a pay-per-use.

I found this on how to track it from DHL hope it works please let us know.

Hi brothers and sisters we all have that curiosity to know when our cases arrived at the embassy ,so i tried to find out how and it took me a lil while from what i been reading in some topics here they told how but when i tried never worked but when i just tried simple thing found it worked and got the track # and where is our files now just follow those simple steps and you will get to

1- when you know from AVR that your case was forward to embassy ( mm/dd/yyyy) lets take an example case forward to embassy March 20th 2009

2- go to DHL TRACK

3- then under track list click on track reference

4- put the reference in this shape EXP19MAR2009A and push track

now we seen its completed in 2oth but we searched in 19th yes because they schedule shipping day before so DHL know in advance when they will ship it so day before will be your exact day for NVC shipping your case to your embassy

i tried it this way and worked but i found 2 cases to cairo so which one is mine dosent matter as along as i can keep an eye on it for sure the month will be changing just the example above for explanation

Good luck all

This is a repost of the info. for tracking from DHL for those who have been asking about it. It does work, just make sure your date range is at the proper dates instead of being an idiot like me

after that what is the pay per call line ???? Isn't it a flat fee for $18.00

(888)877-9888

$18, unlimited amount of time per call, 2 calls max. per pin # purchased. Send me a PM with your fiancee's cp # and I'll make sure Vicky gets it.

Our package showed as delivered by DHL Monday at 5 p.m., I called yesterday (around 11 a.m. local time, 9 p.m. my time) to try to get an appointment and was told MNL # was not entered into their system yet, and therefore I could not yet set an appointment. On the bright side, I asked the operator when the next available appointment was if our package had been received already, and she said Jan. 7. So much for the 10-14 days wait time for the appointment!

The appointment line is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Manila time. It is currently 12:30 a.m. there, you'll have to wait until our evening to try to call.

Congratulations!!! Finally they touch your case! I'm so happy for you guys. You've been waiting too long.

AP is additional processing, it could be as simple as someone with the same name as your fiancee previously overstayed a visa.

That's why I told you to call first, sometimes it gets AP'd at NVC. You'll just have to keep calling back until they release it/ send it to the embassy. Look at it this way, at least you saved the $18 trying to call the embassy hehe. I'd call every couple of days until it's out of AP and on the way to Manila.

Noone really knows why they AP it, but it's usually a pretty quick turn-around. I have seen some people in AP for 30 days or more at NVC, but typically it's only 7-10 days.
