HEY EVERYONE.... WE GOT OUR APPROVED JANUARY 26 IT HAD BEEN 4 WEEK AND NVC DOESN'T HAVE OUR CASE, DOES ANYONE IN THE SAME SITUATION?.. WHY ARE THEY TAKING SO MUCH TIME TO SENT IT, I HAVE SEEM THE OTHER PEOPLE AND JUST TAKE 2 DAY TO GET TO NVC AFTER THE USCIS APPROVED .......... WHYYYYYYYY USSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS?

Well, that is just plain BAD. What did VSC do with it - send it on a donkey? Please keep us all updated x

Who else is left in our October crew still waiting for NOA2? Shout out now and we'll all pull you out the black hole.

Are we all onto the next stage now? Anyone else lost on the donkey with keydymenro?

I just tried calling the NVC a few minutes ago and they are closed due to the bad winter weather winter knocking out the power. If I had to venture a guess I think that they have missed quite a few work days lately due to bad winter weather in the greater DC area. I would think that would get them behind in their workload.

Roger. Good info. Have a great weekend, our first outta the visa jailhouse. We'll all touch base on NVC next week.

(And tell yer woman, I spent a year in Israel when I was young, on a kibbutz milking goats - a fantastic time was had).

Just for your information, it is my understanding that NVC is actually located well north of Washington D.C. but there's probably more snow there anyway.

Hi Kahatti - and Stet if you're around today

Wot number is the best to call for NVC to check if they have the petition from VSC etc and to get a "live" person? I can't seem to get passed the automated system and what a mind bending earful that is! Hope you're all good today.

I emailed NVC and they responded with good news here, making sure my EAC number is in the subject line etc.

Here's what I gather was my timeframe:

NOA2 12/29/09

Emailed NVC 1/5/2010

Response from NVC 1/9/2010

The NVC’s e-mail address is NVCINQUIRY@state.gov.

Operator Assistance

Telephone operators are available to respond to more in-depth inquiries.

Hours: Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 12:00 AM (EST)

You're a star Big thanks.

I'll email them.

I'll email them.

Matter of fact, once I got my case number, I was getting superbly fast response time from my consulate via email, like within 12 hours and that was because of our 10 hour time difference.

And oh, for what it's worth, less then 6 days to interview!

If your petition was sent to Montreal, then go to this link http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/inde...mp;cty=Montreal

There are websites listed that you can download all the documents in P3. Do not wait for the embassy to snail mail your P3. I have read where some people never did receive their P3.

If you petiton was sent to Vancouver then go to this link http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/inde...p;cty=Vancouver

Good luck.

After 126 days later NVC finally send me the approval notice via email. I should be getting the hard copy of the NOA2 in couple of days. Good luck for the rest of the crew.

Let me be the first to congratulate you, the wait was terrible, but now you're going to be moving faster. Best of Luck
