Can someone help me??

[mor_digo 3]

I am Brazilian, but when we send the IF-129 I was living in Italy, but during the process I had to return to Brazil. We received our NOA2 on September 20. We asked for NVC to send our file to the Rio de Janeiro but for some unknown reason this was not done. My case went to the consulate in Naples-Italy. A few days later the consulate in Rio de Janeiro asked for transfer my documents to Brazil. The Italian consulate sent me an email saying that on October 27th they transferred my case to Brazil, but the consulate in Rio de Janeiro has not received it. i'm very worried, because I don't know how long it will take to my case arrive in Brazil. And also because my NOA2 is valid until January 19th. Can anyone tell me what can I do ? how to know if they really sent my file to Rio? how to know when my documents will arrive at the consulate in Brazil?

I'm so frustrated.

=(

You probably cant know until they give a positive response..u have to continue mailing.did u ask for tracking number from naples,i.e the courier tracking number and always quote ur Ref Number.

All you can do is keep emailing and calling DOS.

Try not to worry too much. It does take time for immigration documents to be transferred from one location to another. It often happens that the petition (for which you received the NOA2) 'expires' before the Consulate has finished the necessary processing on it and the beneficiary has had the opportunity to respond even in cases that did not require a file to be transferred. The Consulate automatically 'extends' the expiry date on the petition to ensure that the beneficiary has a reasonable amount of time to respond and the Consulate has conducted an interview. They can keep extending the validity of the petition for the time necessary for the paperwork to get done.

You should be receiving acknowledgment soon that your file has arrived in Brazil. Good luck. It will be fine .
