very strange call to uscis

[phyxsius 1]

so we got our noa 2 approved 11 days ago "may 6th" and nvc did not receive our petition yet, so i decided to call uscis on 1800-375-5283

i got to speak with a nice lady, she told me that k1 visas does not go through nvc but that it goes straight to the embassy is this true ? i could have sworn that i read somewhere that it does ?

i may be wrong but i think all k-1 petitions go thru nvc

They all supposed to go through the NVC, however there were couple VJ members that heard the same when called the USCIS. I would suggest keep on trying NVC - call them (800) 375 5283.

I got the same response by USCIS. USCIS operators seem to know very little, especially the tier 1 people who read of a script.

ALL K1s go through the NVC, no exceptions. But its normally only there for a few days, just a transit.

reading my NoA 2 right now it does say

"The above petition has been approved, and forwarded to the listed consulate"

does it say that on all of them as well ? woulkd have assumed that it should say "and forwarded to nvc etcetc ?"

My NOA2 says, "we have sent the original visa petition to the Department of State National Visa Center (NVC)." It also says, "The NVC now processes all approved fiance(e) petitions." The date on my NOA2 is February 4, 2011 so it is fairly recent. I would keep calling NVC every day to check on the status and get your NVC case number. My petition was only at NVC for a few days. Good luck!

that is very strange then.. why would it say something different on mine ? i doubt that they have changed it??

anyone else with any other clues ?

[Tyeger87 10]

they probably just said the wrong thing

all petitions go through NVC, when u called USCIS did u call a service center?

they dont know alot at tier 1

call NVC directly it can take a while for the case to get into NVC's system

the only to way to know for sure if your case somehow bypassed NVC is to call the State Department and speak to a visa specialist, they can tell u if your petition has been sent to the embassy.

i just think they are being slow at NVC

[Chris921 13]

Mine definately went to the nvc....but was only there a day, so unless they changed things since i got mine they should be going through the nvc

[thelastpetitioner 218]

you know what nvc does?just gives you a new case number,nothing more,so dont worry about it as long as you have your noa2 and new case number,if you dont have the case number i suggest you call nvc and see if they have any information on your case entering and exiting nvc

[Pedro Thiago 2]

I called the NVC about a week and a half after my NOA2 and it had already been forwarded. It seems they just speed through that step.

USCIS told us the same thing. I took 9 days until the NVC had a record of ours.

So I would suggest keep trying with the NVC.

Good luck!

Once approved it is out of the USCIS hands .Your case is forwarded to NVC --Call them at 603-334-0700.

Maybe the person you spoke with forgot to read the script. lol I received my NOA2 last week and NVC got it in 7 days. Try to call them after a week and they will give you a reference number.

what does NVC say about your petition?
