CSC - NOA2 to NVC Delay

[Jilli & Ales 9]

Remember we are 6hrs ahead here, its only 6 : 50am in Texas.

I live in Ohio haha...so we're okay.

I called the NVC and hose jerks said that the file hadn't been processed and that I needed to wait 30 BUSINESS days. #######?!

Anyway, at least it is found now. I will continue to harrass them I guess.

That is hilarious. Not the situation, I mean, just... if you're going to tell people nonsense, at least have a common answer. I think I've seen 15 business days and 30 days on this forum alone for "waiting to be processed at NVC time." Even 15 is absurd. This is supposed to take like 2-4 days. Please hurry up NVC!!! They have certainly stalled, don't you think? Most days at least some action occured, I'd come to the forum and someone would have gotten a number. This is very sad. I want progress!

[Fire Foxy 2]

YES! PROGRESS!

I totally agree that there is nothing going on, that it used to be that people were getting case numbers.

Only the USCIS # is written on the approval notice.

What should I put in the email to the NVC ? I already emailed them on 7/20 but I have not recived a reply... I attached the NOA2 scanned. Should the scanned document be PDF or an image ?

[krieg_n_aice 2]

Good news for me and I hope it is for everyone too--- knowing NVC is still trying to catch things up.

Dear Sir/Madam:

The National Visa Center (NVC) has received your inquiry. Please be

advised your case was recently entered in our system.

My hubby is still at work. He said he will try to get our case number later.

APPROVAL DATE: June 24

I think that a pdf is a standard way to go. Usually, scanned documents are pdf's. If you have an image (like you might have taken with your cell phone) you can turn it into a pdf by "print to pdf" option when you print something.

The email:

Must write the uscis receipt number in the subject

Must include the NOA2

body of mine:

To whom it may concern,

This is a request to locate the I-130 approved petition which was processed at the USCIS California Service Center and forwarded to the National Visa Center. A scan of the I-797, Notice Of Action is included here as an attachment.

For your reference:

Petitioner's Name:

Petitioner's Date of Birth:

Beneficiary's Name:

Beneficiary's Date of Birth:

Sincerely,

Wow that's great!! Where are you guys getting these emails? Have you been continuously emailing nvcresearch or what? I barely got one lame response from them.

My hubby emailed them twice.

1st email they replied:

(July 16)

Please be advised that the National Visa Center (NVC) has received your inquiry. Unfortunately, we do not have any record of receiving your petition. If your petition was approved more than 15 days ago, please email a scanned copy of your I-797 or I-171 Notice of Action - Approval Notice to NVCResearch@state.gov. Please type the receipt number in the subject line of your email and include one attachment/case per email. We will contact U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on your behalf to locate your petition.

My hubby followed the instructions given.

2nd email they replied:

(July 20)

Please be advised that the National Visa Center (NVC) contacted U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) to locate your approved petition. USCIS has informed the NVC, that your petition is en route to the NVC. Once we have received your petition, the appropriate agent will receive further instructions within 6 to 8 weeks.

Then we waited...patiently.

...and he received an email from NVC today stating that they recently entered our case in their system.

I guess more approvals this week. Good luck to our journey!

Hey, don't despair. Yours has to be in this pile. Mine was, and so was the previous person with an NOA2 date of, what, June 27?!

It's coming, it's coming. Hang in there.
