waiting time from NOA2 until hearing from NVC

[irishleb 0]

Hi Everyone,

I have tried to look for more information on this topic, but I admit that I'm not very savvy with the site yet! I received an NOA2 on October 5, 2010. I have not heard anything from the NVC yet. It seems from looking at other people's timelines that I should have heard something. I tried calling the number (603) 334-0700, but I am always getting a busy signal. I would send an e-mail, but it says to put the case number from NVC in the subject line, and I don't have a case number yet. I appreciate any insight.

Thanks!

You are very well due for NVC Case#. Only way to get this process faster is you need to talk to the live operator (I know it is difficult to get them online) and get NVC Case#. Then you can provide both petitioner and beneficiary email ids. If you don't provide email id, they will correspond via regular mail and you will complete the process in many months.

Optionally, you have "Electronic Processing" option too. I would leave it to Darnell, he is the master blaster of EP

irishleb, you need to keep on re-dialing the number to get them. Today I re-dialed for 40 min and got it. Then another 30 to 40 min. for live operator. I think it is not too bad.

Try calling them after 9pm. I got thru to a live operator on the 2nd try.

HI,

Phone them early in the morning or after 8 in the evening its the easiest time to get through.

Electronic processing is 'USUALLY ' faster.

Make sure they accept your OPTIN before you send your documents. the letter they send you back looks like the one below. You can have everything ready to go though. All documents should be originals and if you were divorced it need the Government seal . The birth certificate needs to be the long form showing your parents names and place of birth. Just a couple of things I learned along my journey.

Dear Sir/Madam:

Thank you for your interest in processing your case electronically with the National Visa Center (NVC).

Your case has been updated with the email address you have provided to us.

All further communication with NVC will now be done through this email address NVCElectronic@state.gov.

All documents and forms that we request and require from you should be scanned copies of the originals. The applicant must present all original forms and documents to the Consular officer at the visa interview. Failure to present the required originals at the visa interview will result in a denial or delay in obtaining a visa for the sponsored applicant.

Any questions regarding your petition should now be directed to NVCElectronic@state.gov.

All the best for a speedy trip through NVC:D

Base from here http://travel.state.gov/visa/visa_4411.html , not all can do electronic NVC processing or anyone can do it?
