Thank you malvika. Yes it took 2 days to reach NVC. Imagine that, not 90 days as they claim

Thank you Dodi. I just called NVC and operator told me my petition undergoing additional processing.

Is it the same as Administrative Processing (AP) or since they just received my petition yesterday they need a few more days to process it and send it to consulate?

I was told the same thing when mine was received there and they sent it on to London the very next day. Don't sweat it yet! You'll have time to sweat while waiting for your P3 to be sent and your forms to be logged back in when you've sent them back.

Additional Processing is just their term for "Sticking it in an envelope" half the time. Apparently they needed to dress up the procedure with technical terms.

Thanks. Actually in Ukraine you don't need to wait for physical P3. As soon consulate receives the petition and it's in their system you can schedule the interview over the phone. P3 can be fetched from consulate web site and 156 form submitted online

Looks like once they found your petition (under the coffee cup on the desk of the person on vacation) they really started kicking up some dust!

Hey JVF congrats man ! Things are moving smoothly now for you.

Today it has been 14 business days of my NOA2 but NVC still doesn't have my case. I called USCIS this afternoon and asked them to make a service request they simply denied it and told I can not inquire about my case until 90 days, I asked for immigration officer. Even immigration officer repeatedly told me I must wait 90 days.

I am still waiting to hear from NVCresearch. JVF, how long did it take on yours to hear from NVCResearch?

I am also from NYC and I doubt they have also sent my petition to NY field office before sending it to NVC. Don't you think so JVC?

"90 days" statement is not true, not for I-129F. This petition is only valid for 4 month. I guess it depends what officers picks up the phone. Some are nice, some obnoxious. I used to call USCIS 2-3 times a week. Some officers would not even take my receipt number to check the status. I had 3 service requests with USCIS and 2 with NVC.

Here is the thing with USCIS service requests. First one will tell you your petition has been sent to NVC and you should contact them. All others will simply suggest to submit duplicate copy. After speaking to several immigration officers at USCIS I realized they have no way to locate your petition and no direct contact with Service Center (only via email). They simply tell you what they see in their computers. Forwarding petitions to New York is BS. New York doesn't process K1 visas.

NVCresearch got back to me 2 weeks after I sent them email with attached NOA2. Email said they can't locate my petition in NVC and they will contact UCSIS on my behave. That was the only reply I received from them. Others were auto-replies.

2 senator offices and congressman I contacted were little to no help. They did contact USCIS and NVC on my behave, but at the end they supported the idea of resending duplicate copy to USCIS.

The only real help I received was after contacting USCIS headquarters at Washington DC. I have their number at work. I will send it to you on Monday.

The bottom line, it takes a few business days after NOA2 for USCIS to send your petition to NVC

and a day or so for NVC to process it. If it's longer then that, something went wrong.

No way they can lose 5 lbs of paperwork. I agree with Dodi it's probably "under the coffee cup on the desk of the person on vacation". I got to tell you hon, that person took hell of a vacation... 40 days
