NVC March 2010 Edition!

[borntorule 0]

I got a questions guys,

I got the approval for I-30 for my wife on 2/23/10

I have not received any case # from NVC yet.

Do I need to call them myself? The I-130 approval notice says I should not call them before 90 days.

Thanks for the help

Yes. Call before 90 days, for sure. Call after 3 or 4 business days to get your case number from the automated system. Once you have that, press 0 to speak to an operator and give them your email addresses.

Read up on LingChe's Shortcuts. It's gonna start moving now. Congrats!

borntorule - call NVC and enter your USCIS case number to see if NVC assigned you a NVC case number. If you have a NVC case number, speak to a live operator and give both your email adresses. the number to call is: (603) 334-0700. This number is VERY busy. Keep trying until you can get through. Good luck.

GUZ IV unit will know NOTHING about yer petition, until it is actually OPENED at GUZ. Period.

I understand that sometimes ppl want to make 'shotgun effect' - contacting all entities about a petition - but.

Basically, you've wasted someone's time in Guangzhou.

Bad on You, IMO.

I get this sense that you are not understanding scope and domain - ie - what does Guangzhou IV unit do,

and what does NVC do, with yer petition...

I pray you get some understanding about what's going on -

and .. I'm sorry NVC has 'blown up' over these last few days.

NVC Electronic Processing IS NOT FASTER, on average, than the fastest paper processing -

but it does shave off time for 'getting an interview date set' through the IV unit at Guangzhou.

If I had super magic genie powers, I'd grant you 'patience' - as thats exactly what you need, at this moment.

Hang in there, and Good Luck !

Yes, I do think you are right. I do not understand what does Guangzhou IV unit do or NVC do, and obviously, I just wasted someone's time in Guangzhou. Bad on ME, totally. I think I was misguided by some folks from 001

My hubby and I will pay I-864/$70 online tonight as we decided to do, if he already got the Invoice Identification Number from DS-3032 kit

I do need more information to know what does the Guangzhou IV unit do

I need PATIENCE!!

Thank you for helping me

What we did was call NVC/603-334-0700 after we got the NOA2 by mail, and got our NVC case number from NVC Automated Voice Message, and the day after it, we called NVC, reached a human, confirmed our biodata with her

Good Luck!

Yay!!!! Payment Portal is up again! And the IV Bill shows PAID!

Off to get signtures from my joint sponsor and her husband. I hope everyone gets great news at 11!

Yep, mine shows paid too not that I was in a hurry since I will only get all the paperwork from hubby on Fri and I have a appt w/attorney on Mon and everything should be out the door. Got the ball rolling again and I pray nothing stops me along the way!!!!

Good luck to you all also!!!!

Mine approved on 02.22.10 and I got my case number 03.02.10. Call them, I'm sure its available by now.

Payment portal is finally up, but mine is still in process. This is going to drive me insane. I paid over a week ago! They took the money last Tuesday!

Hang in there! I'm sure it will show up anytime now.

Guangzhou will be able to locate record of my case after my case file completed at NVC, then, Guangzhou will interview me, am I correct?

[Scott and Mhay 57]

The AVR is still saying they will send me a packet in the coming weeks I want it to say they received the package of information from us. Just waiting for the NVC

[sachinky 465]

SPSguy--Congrats on your SIF! So exciting!

I do think we should all be failing one after another, hopefully this week, barring any RFEs. God forbid.

Come on, Tuesday!

NVC has not presumably received any new mail over the last few days or so. Hopefully, they're getting caught up on the backlog and our paperwork, this way those going after us won't have to wait this long! w00t!

The stupid payment portal and NVC has totally screwed up my awesome timeline.

Can still sign in as of 1:30AM EST.

Thansure,

We have been living together in Cambodia since our marriage. My wife has traveled to the U.S. several times using her K3 Visa.

we are now getting her the IR1 visa so she can get her greencard and ss # when we visit the U.S. next time. I see that you are from Cambodia as well, do you know the time frame for CR or IR visa interview at the Phnom Penh Consulate? Assuming everything is as expected, my next step is getting my wife ready for the interview and knowing the waiting period.

For everyone else, I just called NVC and please note that although I am getting a sign in failure at the NVC portal, the NVC avr has not been updated. It still has the previous recording which says, "the NVC has received the information checklist, etc..etc. "
