There are no timelines for this stage because the period that your petition sits at NVC is generally very short. The embassy will contact you when your petition has arrived and give you instructions

OMG is USCOS lying to me now!!!

Those of us who got out NOA2 on or after MAY 14th 2012...GUESS what our appilcations are still sitting at CSC waiting for then to compile enough to sent to NVC in new hamshire!! Outrage!!!

On May 14, 2012, my I-129F my PETITION FOR FIANCE was approved (so thats the good news!) BUT!!!!!!!!!

I still havent got a case number yet from NVC, despite my daily calls to NVC...so today I called USCIS (as its been 3 weeks and more than 15 business days) and I spoke with a supervisor after waiting for 45 minutes and we found out its still sitting at USCIS CSC office as they only send out approved petitions from time to time and they are waiting to compile enough to send out to NVC...crazy or what!!!! Not fair!!! We all wait so long to be re-united with our loved ones and our packet is sitting around still!!! They said hopefully by the end of this week it will go out to NVC..grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

So i did a little research scrolling back on this posting and

All the people who got approved just 5 days before us (like May 7.8.9,10,11)went to the NVC and got case numbers (and yes I have genuinely happy for all of you!!! :) ) around May 20-23rd exactly 2 weeks.

But those of us who got out NOA2 on or after MAY 14th 2012...GUESS what our appilcations are sitting at CSC waiting for them to "get enough applications to send all at once"

HAVENT WE WAITED LONG ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least we have each other to vent!!!

But looking on this thread, it seems like some that are approved after us have already reached NVC. I hate for it to just be stuck at the USCIS. It's been 3 weeks. Well i hope that's not really the case with us. It's really been a long journey for us going through all this process to be with our love ones. Oh well im just going to pray and try to be positive about this as much as I could. Thank You.

Hello from K1-CANADIAN -Beneficiary (VANCOUVER)

NOA2: May 10, 2012

"The above petition has been approved, and forwarded to the listed consulate. Please contact the consulate with any questions about visa issuance...."

As previously mentioned, every case is different. I REALLY didn't need to call the NVC regarding the status of my file, but I did yesterday.

I read the first sentence of the notice to the NVC lady, and she suggested contacting the consulate in Vancouver, 15 business days from the notice date. That call just gave my fiance (the USC) & I peace of mind until June 1st. (when the 15 business days are up).

Good luck & Happy Journeysstar_smile.gif

Continuation from above post...good.gif

15 + business days later...( from May 10th, NOA 2)

Friday June 1: Nothing in the mail.

Saturday June 2: Email regarding status of case, sent to NVC & US Consulate in Vancouver.

Monday June 4: Email reply from Vancouver Consulate. "Nothing received from NVC."

Evening Call to NVC: Case # given, advised petition was sent to Vancouver Friday May 31st.

So, I have a case number, but no 'letter'. Now what to do?blink.gif
