NVC doesn't have our approved petition yet

[jo&john 1]

We have been keeping our hopes high for an early expedition of our case because of my daughter's age-ing out (21 this january 2007). We sent an email to NVC relative to this last September 6 after we received our physical NOA2 (Sept. 5; email NOA2 approval decision was sent to us August 31 telling us that our case has been approved August 30). We were hoping that they could assign a case number immediately then facilitate it's expedition at the U.S. Embassy in Manila.

However, we received an odd email from NVC...what is happening????...is our case lost in the mail????

We have seen posts of VJ members whose NOA2's were immediately received by NVC from USCIS...we intend to call USCIS but we want to know from VJ members their ideas on this delay...Your advises on this matter will be deeply appreciated....especially on the next steps that we need to do at this point.

Sincerely,

jo&john

Maybe NVC hasnt received your papers yet.It took my fiance more than 2 weeks to get a letter from NVC telling him that they got our papers and have given our new case number.

I just got off the phone with an operator who told me that it can take up to 4 weeks. We were approved Aug. 30 too.

Especially when it's CSC forwarding the cases to NVC.

NVC can take up to four weeks to receive the petition from CSC and assign a case number. CSC sent ours on August 18. We are still waiting.

It seems tha cases sent from the service centers between the 1st and the middle of the month take longer to process and those sent towards the end of the month only a week.

Thank God! so no cause for alarm at this point! Thank you all! And praying that all "in the mail" NOA2s get at NVC soon and expedited!

Sincerely,

I would not be too concerned... I kept checking at the NVC to see if they received our case. 21 Days after our NOA2 I sent an email to the NVC regarding our case and asked them to check it out. Day 28, after receiving our NOA2, I received and email saying that the case was processed and sent on to the Embassy. NVC did not even acknowledge receipt of our papers. On the upside, after receiving the email reply, we received packet 3 only 2 business days after they replied to my email.

Be patient, it takes a lot of work for them to be inefficient. Good luck

i'm still waiting here... and it gets me so impatient and sometimes i realized what is 4 weeks of waiting compared to 4 months just to wait for the noa2...lol... still i want to have a case# now

well it took 3 weeks from our NOA2 to the NVC recieving it.. I have found the best time to call them though... 11:36am EST and the options are easy.... press 1 then 2

It is possible that NVC has received the petition and is entering it into its computer system. As soon as it is done, NVC will assign a case number for you. You can email them at: NVCINQUIRY@state.gov

to find out about your case. Make sure, you put your USCIS receipt number on the subject line when you email them.
