NOA2 to NVC - how long?

[noura 0]

For those of us who got NOA2 last week, has anyone heard yet from NVC? If so, how did you hear from them and how long after NOA2 did you hear? I'm curious and anxious to hear from them.... no news yet after NOA2 - it's just been a week, but I'm hopeful it's any moment now.

Thanks!!!

hi nora,

don't worry, we've got the same approval date and my fiance has not received any notice from NVC yet. let's just wait and pray that everything will be fine in God's hands.

take care!

Go look over in the NVC forum. There's a number there you can call & see if they've received it!

It took almost three weeks for the NVC to receive our petition. I started to freak out and I was calling everyday!! It seems that the service centers have picked up speed in sending the packages to NVC so I think you guys will hear something very soon! I would just call once every other day or so and don't get discouraged because I got four different answers from four different people when they did actual have mine. I find out that they had it for days when they were telling me that they hadn't received it yet! Calling at night is the best time and I found out that they are nicer than too!!! Good Luck!

they're probably very busy on Monday at NVC. all day long nothing but busy signals when trying to call.

tamara, when our petitions do reach Manila, let's hope there's not too long a backlog waiting for the interview.

just a tidbit. it varies from when you get the NOA2 until it reaches the nvc. as for my case it took about a week. but was shipped out to manila embassy a day or two later. Uling's timeline shows that his NOA2 was received on one day and same day NVC receives the paperwork. you may just want to call NVC to ask whether they do have your petition at hand. when NVC has it, you can call again maybe a day or two later and ask if they have already shipped it out. dont be discouraged if after one or two tries they give you the canned answer that itll take up to 90 days... i think. but its just SOP that they say that. try again the next day and you may find out that your paperwork has been sent to your beneficiary's embassy...

as for an official notification, some people get a letter in the mail that NVC has received their case. In my case, i have not received one that said that NVC recieved it. but i did receive however a letter from NVC that my case has been forwarded to manila, almost a week after i found out from NVC that it has been shipped out. makes sense? i guess this would be better....

NOA2 - july 24

NVC received - July 31

NVC sent - AUG 2. I called on the third and found out it was shipped on the 2nd.

Aug 7 - received official letter dated AUG 3 that my papers were shipped out to my beneficiary's embassy.

i hope this helps somehow.

oops i cant remember if it was 90 days, hmm i think they said 2-4 weeks. whatever...but it was too long of a wait so i called again the next day. hehee i just wanted to say that perseverance has its rewards...

once a day shouldnt be bad.... i usually call at 11-12 PST. sometimes i get thru after one try, other times i got thru after four. not more than that though. i hope you guys get thru.

Running reports here on VJ, I found the following for those being processed in California, including TSC and NSC.

Of the folks that have updated their timelines, 364 "IMBRA" people, filing after 3/6, have received their NOA2. Of those 364 people, only 183 have updated their timelines to reflect that NVC has their paperwork. (I think there are more, but perhaps those people have other things on their minds and have not updated their time lines yet.)

For those noting NVC in their timelines, the average turn around time from "NOA2 issued" to "NVC receiving" is about 2 weeks, or 13.4 days.

You have to ask an operator. K1s are not in the automated system.
