NOA2 approved 1 month ago but I have not get package 3 yet

[Laure&Colin 558]

I didn't ask for the number though ahhhh I might need to call again!

Well what did they tell you exactly? Did say something like "it hasn't been entered in our system yet"?

[May God bless me 1]

I didn't even listen to her carefully. What a shame!

You need to call back and ask for the case number and the invoice ID number. You will also give her your email and the email for the beneficiary and a phone number where they can reach you.

I'm not sure if anybody mention Holidays, but i'm pretty sure the American Embassy takes a good two weeks off

I'm mostly guessing but i could be wrong.

Yeah guys. I hope I will get the packet3 from NVC soon. My NOA2 was approved on 21 Nov 2011 and I checked on website said my packet was mailed to me since 7 Dec .... but I have not get it yet. I hope I will get it by next week too and I guess huge number of mails sending for holiday season makes more work for the post hmmmm

You are labouring under much confusion.

Packet 3 is not mailed out instantly. Expect 3 months .

However, most folk here at the VJ DIY Immigration Web Portal

have learned,

from LingChe's ShortCuts -

that the USCitizen Spouse can kick start the process

with a telephone call into NVC. No Forms are 'sent' via postal mail -

it's a hurdy-gurdy fast-paced 'pay the fees and send the forms' op.

I suggest you hit our Wiki Space here, then look up LingChe , then

have the USCitizen Spouse Read all of it - as it'll become 'the bible' for the next 6 weeks.

I just called NVC and yes they received my case soooo I guess what I see in the website is some kinda of error huh?

if 'the website' is over at USCIS, then yes.

It's true, you can also view other people's TIMELINE to get a better idea as to how long each embassy takes to send out the package 3

ah - the old K-1 vs CR-1 visa seeking path comparison - Just What is Packet 3 ?

For a K-1 and K-3, Embassy IV Unit does mail out the packet 3 set. But that means nothing, really, as the forms are available for download.

For a CR-1/2/4/5 - All document intake for an immigrant visa is handled with NVC, not the Embassy. One can 'wait' for NVC to send stuff out - there are 3 things, each thing is about 3 months per.

MANY FOLK here at VJ want speed, so they never 'wait' on NVC to 'send stuff' to them; instead they follow LingChe's shortcuts here in the Wiki Space. If you need forms, btw - HEY! DOWNLOAD THEM (and stop thinking to wait on postal mail, please?)

OP is seeking a CR-1 visa, see Darnell's most recent post for the difference in processing.

What you learn, so far?

and what's up with the USCitizen spouse calling into NVC?

My usc spouse did not call yet. We will wait for a little while and see what will happen on Jan. Some of our docs are not complete so I need to wait

[Darnell 8,479]

wow

sorry, is best to train up the USCitizen Spouse, with Ling Che here on the wiki.

Otherwise, you will lose time.

UNDERSTANDING the NVC process, as well, helps you to guide your documents generation / collection process.

Perhaps you can't find Ling Che here on the VJ wiki space? Let me know, if indeed, that is the case.

Darnell we just received the packet from NVC today after 43 days waiting! I am so glad. We paid bill online already and now we are working on our documents which should be done within 2 weeks.

Thanks for following up with my topic.

[Darnell 8,479]

Happy Postal Processing!!

No Ling Che for your USCitizen Spouse, after all.
