Should we call USCIS???

[CATHYlovesRICK 2]

Our Reaffirmed NOA2(approval Notice)is dated april 6,telling us they forward our case back again in the NVC..Now why is it that for the last 2 weeks of calling NVC they keep on telling us that our papers is still in USCIS.My fiance(USC)called the NVC last april 12 and get our manila case number already..They why they don't have our papers and they were able to provide us Case Number???We also keep on emailing and calling Embassy but still our papers are still not there..Where are our papers now??I don't wanna be negative, but when i read so many post here in VJ about lost petition between USCIS and NVC i get so scared and mad...Should we call USCIS?Anyone who knows the direct line and not the ones that will only be answered by call center agents..

This link gives me only a 3 hr SLEEP last night...

when calling the Embassy, do they case the MNL case number is not in their system or they haven't yet received the physical petition?

I think you should call US embassy manila and try to schedule your interview. I did that after 3 days when my fiance was able to get my MNL number.At first US embassy told me that the physical documents are not with them, they told me to call after a week. At exactly one week I was able to get an appointment.

we have done this also but no luck after 2 weeks of having our MNL case no.still NVC says it still in USCIS and of course as expected the answer of Embassy here is we do not have it still mam electronically and the actual papers...This is ridiculous... Where on earth did USCIS send our papers...

the only number I know for USCIS is 1-800-375-5283. for us, it took 23 days from NOA2 till the Embassy received our petiton. I can remember back when calling NVC, I'd get answers like they don't have the petition, allow up to 4 weeks or try calling back in a week, but I wouldn't be that patient and would try again in a of couple of days. when calling Aug 20th, they gave me the MNL case number and said it had been sent to the Embassy on 15th. I had called earlier on the 17th, then they said they hadn't received the petion yet.

hopefully you'll receive the good news soon.

You mean they also said that your case is in USCIS still even you already have MNL case number???I will try to calm down,relax and rest my mind like what my dear darling said.I just can't help it sometimes to worry about the delay,especially with all the strange things that had happened to our case.

Same happened to us. And they didn't volunteer that it was in AP. They just kept saying, "no it hasn't left yet." Then I read on VJ in "stuck in AP post" and learned to ask "Is it in Additional Processing?" Sure enough that was the right question. The operators can only tell you scripted lines....like: "Yes we have your petition" or "Yes/No it has/hasn't shipped." They can tell you case number if assigned and they can tell you if you're in AP. They can't tell you anything else because they don't really know case status beyond their computer screens. I called them EVERY day for over 2 weeks, mainly because they seem to change stories quite a bit. One day I call and we are in AP, next day we are not in AP...next day we are being sent to the embassy this week, next day we are still in AP.....and they always say call back in a week...and I always reply jokingly that you'll hear from me again tomorrow.... It's a roller coaster ride without a stop. They are very nice and seem to have good attitudes, they just can only give out limited info.

the next time we call we will ask again if we are IN AP maybe they will tell us some kinda clear answer coz the first time they said NO!!!I just hope they already got out papers and send it to Manila

hi !

i am not sure if we have the same case but its been a month since NVC got our papers. in the USCIS website, its says " USCIS office received this case from the State Department"

my fiancee emailed NVC and they said they returned our documents to INS. they already returned the documents to us last march 9 bec my fiancee overlooked section C of the application form.

My question is, shall we call NVC to check if we calready have our manila case #? this is becoming so confusing and the waiting time is now draggin to take longer.

Aug 2008 - introduced by a common friend

May 2009 - met in person ( i went to the States)

Nov 9, 2009 - filed I-129F

Nov 13, 2009 - NOA1
