NVC Skipped?

[jwk2003 3]

Hello all - quick question...I was approved on September 14 for the noa2. I have called and spoke to an IO at uscis which stated that it was already sent out. I've been calling the nvc for the last two weeks which said that they haven't received it and asked me to read what my petition says...

(here's what the noa2 says):

The above petition has been approved, and forwarded to the listed consulate. Please contact the consulate with any questions about visa issuance, or if you would now like them to forward the petition to a different consulate. The petitioner can also file Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, with this office to request that we notify another consulate of the petition approval for visa processing purposes. THIS FORM IS NOT A VISA AND MAY NOT BE USED IN PLACE OF A VISA.

When the person this petition...........

The agent at nvc stated that it was forwarded to the embassy from what I have read him. So I contacted USCIS again and they said the same thing to contact the embassy for any questions.

Has anyone else experienced this? I even confronted both the nvc and uscis and stated that normally it would be processed through nvc before going to the embassy but both said it went straight to the embassy.

any thoughts please?...

also I plan on contacting the us embassy in Manila during their business hours since its a 12hr difference and they are currently closed.

It does NOT go straight to the consulate regardless of what the NOA2 says. Call the DOS and they may be able to provide some insight... You can also call NVC and speak to a rep... or a supervisor... to see if the file has reached there yet...

my noa#2 says the same thing, petition forwarded to embassy, we were approved sept. 2 2009, and until now.neither the uscis nor nvc claim to have the case, i did called the dept. of state, and was told that all petitions must go thru the nvc.,

No this is not quite true, there is a VJ member here who's petition WAS sent straight from USCIS to the Embassy...but I suspect it was because the USCIS was really dragging their feet on his case and got a Senator to light afire under them. But his case DID skip the NVC. Now, I do not think that is what has happened here. My bet is that your file really is still at USCIS, regardless of what they say. My NOA2 was July 24th...one month later NVC STILL had not received, I contacted my Congressman and she called CSC and THAT DAY it was sent to NVC. Good luck. Mav

my case was approved on september 2 2009, the nvc has not received our case yet, i just got an email from my congressman's office, our I129f was sent to the national record dept. instead of the nvc, i just hope they will find the case fast and expedite to the nvc
