California to Texas & Texas to California - Part 2

so our apparent expedite will do nothing for us? Just as I thought

You have to expedite at each step of the way. So once you get a case number, call up NVC and request an expedite like NASCARFAN186 suggested.

I am just messing with you Saylin.... I was playing along with CSCTSCCSC... I'm sure he was joking too.

I don't understand why someone thinks I'm slacking. This thread is open in its own tab ALL day on my browser and I refresh it as soon as I get an email notification. As soon as someone is approved or gets a case number, I immediately update the spreadsheet. I don't know what else I can possibly do

I know about that...I just meant the part where NVC was supposedly briefed about our cases, like maybe we would get some front of the line card or something haha.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, I have no idea about that. With the way things are going, it doesn't look likely that all TSC refugees are gonna have a fast pass or something.

Ok thank goodness. It actually hurt when you said I was doing worse than USCIS That should be a new insult everyone uses. "You're as incompetent as USCIS". Ohhh, I'm totally using that from now on in real life.

Yes... I know Just trying to be funny....... FAIL!!! lol

I believe it's horse's mouth.

For sure.... me too.

Speaking of spreadsheets.... I don't see my name on the NVC tracker... did I miss it?

I just got off the phone with a very polite and helpful NVC operator; maybe this info will help some of you.

My case was shipped to NVC on February 16. She said they have received it but it is still being "sorted" and to call back on Monday. I also asked her if my approved expedite from USCIS carries any weight at NVC. After a short period on hold she told me this..... She said that the USCIS expedite is different and does no good at NVC. She said that once I receive my NVC case number that I needed to call back (talk to an operator) and request another expedite. She also told me... "IF" the expedite is approved, they (NVC) will send the petition straight to the Consulate and they (consulate) will continue/finish the process. So.... in a nutshell.... if you have an "approved expedite" from NVC.... they will send it directly to the consulate and you will either send all of your documents to the consulate, or hold on to them and take them with you to the interview. I don't know how many of us can get an expedite at NVC but, we can always throw THIS in their face... especially the part where it says "Additionally, we have briefed the Department of State’s National Visa Center about these cases." Hopefully this helps some of you (us).

Erick,

This is the info i was looking for!!. According to the last email from Mr. Badger (not fermat, lol) today, he forwarded me the email from the Congressional Liaison at NVC that our petition is being expedited to the Embassy.

Mine was sent the same day as yours and was entered into the system on February 21st, but no case number yet. It is good news they have it though...I am happy about that! She said to allow 4-6 weeks for processing suree!!!
