Ours was 'missing' they said, but it really wasn't. They did have it, but we were in AP however.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Hey,

We were approved for the I-129f on Dec. 5th.

I called the NVC numerous times since then to see if they received our file. I was told that it takes X amount of days for them to receive it, etc. etc.

I called again today, the woman (rude b**ch) told me that she can't find the file and to forward the email that we got from USCIS, to them (NVC).

What is going on?

Anyone had to do this before?

Thanks!

It took four weeks between NOA2 and case arrival to NVC for my case.

Some cases arrive to NVC next day, some next moth. Go figure.

Try to email the NVC, put your receipt #(NOA1) to a subject line if u email them so that they could easily find your case that way...

which NVC phone number are you calling? Call the 606 number, then option 1 (English) then option 5 (operator).. I spoke to someone when I called 3 straight times.

Called again and The Voice told me that they sent me the approval and follow instructions on it.

???

To talk to a person, press the number that says you dont have a reciept number or dont know how to locate it and it will bring you to a person. When a person answers, they will ask for your reciept number, just give it to them. I do this all the time and it works :)

Good luck.

The automated phone number says they havent received my petition but I got a letter dated the 20th saying they have it and gave me a case number. The letter also stated the petition would be sent to Consulate within 7 days. I just hope it is on its way?

I emailed them. They said they don't have it.

Now they want me to scan a copy of our NOA2 and they will contact the USCIS on my behalf.

I would have more faith in contacting the USCIS myself, to be honest. Also, I'm NOT going to the trouble of scanning the Noa2! I have the Case number, our names and dates of birth, that should be enough for them!

It's pathetic.

I would suggest you do both. It might got lost in the mail.. My NOA2 got lost in the mail and requested a duplicate copy.

Just scan NOA2 and call USCIS.. This should do it.

Good luck!

Mine was the other way around.. NVC got our file on time but my NOA2 copy was lost.. So my petition was moving already while I was waiting for my NOA2 and I need to wait 30 days before I can request a new duplicate copy of NOA2.

So, to be clear;

The NVC never received my case.

It's either still at USCIS or got lost.

If it's been lost... what do we do? Please don't tell me we have to strat again!
