NVC Filers - March 2012

[Saylin 1,605]

Me: "Hi just calling to find out the status of our case, is it complete, has our IV package been reviewed?"

NVC: No

Me: "Well is there a checklist coming or...

NVC: Well, have you allowed 20 days to go by since mailing it, NO YOU DIDN'T. So wait the 20 Days

Me: (in my head, but so badly wanted to scream it at her) BITE ME!!!!!!!!

An operator said that?

You should be getting your case number either this week or next. It's been taking NVC about 3 weeks from NOA2 to get a case number assigned.

Here's the link to Trinidad: http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_5455.html?cid=9658#docs, scroll down to Police Records. If it was obtained from the right place, then you should be fine.

Case number: ok but i thought they'd aleast beable to tell me if the received it or not, they seem to be telling everyone else. maybe id call back nest wednesday. The guy told me to give it 15 business days. I want it soo bad tho lolll.

I got the police report from the correct place alrady but it just looks so unofficial. it's a 8x19 receipt paper with a stamp not a seal. I guess id go look for other Trinidad ppl who got theirs and ask.

Don't wait until next Wednesday to call back. Keep calling once a day. And remember, some of those operators aren't exactly "smart cookies", they're oblivious to some things. I'm sure your case is at NVC, just not inputted yet.

If I remember correctly, my PCC didn't have a stamp or seal. Just printed on thick paper (between paper and cardboard) with a signature at the bottom. Once I get home from school, I can upload a picture of what mine looked like.

That's just ridiculous. Some of those operators should NOT be working at a call center.

But yeah, at this point, I'm sure you're numb to their responses; I know I was within just a few short days. Although, all the operators I had were polite, except for just this one guy, Complete butthead to say the least.

Ok some one from another Caribbean Island said their's lookes the same way. it's not even on thick paper. Well when i called and spoke to the operator i got the feeling he didnt even look for my case because after he ask me when my noa2 date was i can tell he was checking the days from then to now. I will take your advise and call everyday, i just hate to hear the same 15day mess everyday.

Glad you found out your PCC is normal.

And you have to be tough when it comes to the operators. You're going to hear a bunch of discouraging time frames. You just have to numb yourself to it and persist.

When they ask me for my NOA2 date should i just tell them I dont have it, because i seem to get the 15day response automatically when i give my NOA2 date. Id call back tonight and see. When they give you u case number do they tell you when they received ur case also?

Just tell them you want to give your USCIS receipt number so they can check their system. Be adamant about this. Tell them you know of people who have gotten it faster than 15 days (or whatever their time frame is) and you want them to check, just in case.

And they won't give the received date unless you ask for it.

Tomorrow makes it 2 weeks since my NOA2(dated:03/21/12) & NVC doesn't even have my case in the building yet

Ive heard sometimes USCIS forgets to send the case, hope they sent mine.

All my forms are ready for take off (kind of iffy about my hubby's Trinidad PCC tho it looks like a little receipt, guess i thought it would have been like and offical document)

Yup! the police certificate is a tiny piece of paper measuring about 8" by 3"!

Ridiculous ain't it! lol

LOL!

My joint sponsors birth certificate is hand written. I thought for sure I'd get a check list over it. But I didn't.

so if we mailed nvc got the ds230 friday and it's now end of tuesday, and i've been calling and getting nothing from them, you think it's another checklist :-( i'm seeing some other timelines that say acceptance of IV was almost immediate...i'm probably just freaking out because i haven't had an idle moment in a while, so now that i do (at least regarding the visa process) i'm having the what if thoughts...

Remember, the time frames for everything at NVC are always changing. What's true last week isn't necessarily true this week. You should find out this week though on your IV package. Just keep calling them once a day.
