Any February 2012 filers?

[X Factor 1,112]

yeah nice to see some approvals i'm 2/10/12 waiting hoping today will be my day tomorrow will be exactly 6 months then filing a service request anyways lets go VSC pump some more approvals please!

Mygrc, That is a letter from the NVC, so its not the NOA2. If NVC is sending your petition out to the embassy, it means your petition was approved but you didnot get your NOA2. Like everyone else has said, give them a call and find out what happened to your NOA2 because they do expire and you want to have enough time to do everything and even have some left over incase your visa is not approved to appeal. So call them asap and find out. Good luck and God speed.

OK, this is actually turning into quite a mess.

The letter that I received was not an NOA2 but the NVC's subsequent letter informing me that they received the approved 129F.

I spoke to the NVC and they received our approved 129F on July 25th and send it to Manila on July 27th. I checked the DHL tracking (Thanks Cory and Rob - by the way, if you do not put in your country, the system might not catch yoru shipment) and Manila recieved a shipment on July 31st.

I should be thrilled, right? Here is the problem. My fiance moved last April. I called USCIS and they told me to wait and send a change of address to NVC when I receive an NOA2. Then NVC will send the updated address to Manila. So, because I did not receive the NOA2, Manila has the approved petition with her old address and may have already sent the package to the wrong address. I will call Manila when they open but I do not expect much since most changes take weeks to work through their system. I will contact my fiance and have her check at the post office and at her old address to see if the package was already sent.

Back to USCIS. I told them that I never received our NOA2. After a little while I was able to convey my message (the system is wrong, really it is ) and they put in a service request for a replacement. It will take 15 days for an update. Hopefully they will then send our NOA2.

I need to send all of this stuff to her too. Can anyone recommend a shipper that they have used to send docs to the Philippines? It looks like it may cost about $100 to send the docs. I guess a drop in the bucket compared to the whole process but ouch!

If feels really slow for a Thursday.

It does, but there's still 3 hours to go and we didn't get ours until near the close of business :-)

Slowest. Thursday. Ever.

Everything is going to be fine. Just tell your fiancee to check if the package from the embassy arrived yet and then she can pick it up, so that you don't slow the process down. I don't think the NOA2 is required for the interview but it will be required later on in the process. Goodluck.

Haha, I don't even open the "NOA2!!" threads anymore... every time I do, I swear at my computer screen... (Of course, not anyone who's a CSC filer from Jan-Mar - I'm just getting really annoyed at the May, June, 86 day, etc approvals)

[Ouarda<3 11]

This topic just came up in the UK forum too! Apparently they keep changing their reference numbers and how they are set up. Go to dhl.com, click on express, then tracking. On the right side of the screen, you'll see "track by shipper's reference". Click on that. Then, under "shipper's reference", type EXP 01 AUG2012A. You can change the date accordingly. Keep in mind, the NVC has to set up their shipments, so you would look at the 7th if you thought they sent it on the 8th. You can also change the date range, and if you put in the country, it'll narrow down the results so you'll actually be able to see your package if it went out already. I see a package that left the NVC on Wednesday for Casablanca with waybill number 9454480405. Maybe this is yours, Ouarda!!

OMG THIS MIGHT BE!!! Thank you sooooooo much!

The whole process seems unfair and misleading. VSC should update their processing time from 5 months to 7 months so everyone can plan accordingly.
