USCIS TO NVC

[abidinmach 0]

It' been 30 days for me and NVC have not receive anything from USCIS

My case was approved on April 23, 2012 and NVC have not receive my case in their system. I emailed my Approval notice to NVC Research and their reponse back : Dear Sir/Madam:

Please be advised that the National Visa Center (NVC) has received your

inquiry and the attached I-797 Notice of Action - Approval Notice.

Unfortunately, we do not have record of receiving your approved petition

from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The NVC will contact

USCIS on your behalf for information on the location of this petition.

I called USCIS they said it can take up to 90 days for NVC to receive the notice??? But NVC Told me it should be only 15-30 days??

PLEASE Help! What is going on????

Most of the time they are slower than we are, hurry up and wait, hope for the best. Keep on it if you don't get notice shortly.

The only option that I can tell you is too keep calling them about the case, and its very frustrating sometime. So I guess we have to be patient.

Great, so when should we call them if our NOA2 (E-MAIL) has arrived yesterday?

Give NVC atleast 15 business days than start calling, but just remember to be patient because I received my NOA2 since April 23,2012 and the case still did not arrive to NVC yet very frustrating!

This has been frustrating me a lot too, as I was told 15 business days by the NVC for a long time then after that had passed I was told 30 by them. Approaching the 30 day mark I was being told by USCIS to wait 90 days. I asked them what would change by then. I got a canned answer. So At the 24-day in mark I talked to supervisors of both USCIS and the NVC, who advised me to contact the senator as I told them I was worried as this was a time sensitive case.

Emailing your approval notice to NVCresearch@state.gov will cause them to contact the USCIS on your behalf about your petition location.

Calling the senator will cause him to contact the NVC and he'll dig deeper to find where the case is. Finally today, my case has been received by the NVC & assigned a case # after 27 days, whether or not the additional steps helped I'm not sure, but it was worth the calls. They seem really backed up lately.

Congrats! My case is still not there at NVC yet its been 31days now and same answer I was getting from USCIS about the 90 day thingy. Was yours 27 business days or was it including weekends?

I can just speculate, but the California Service Center has been pumping out large numbers of approved petitions, very fast in the last couple of months. Wonder if this actually has the unwanted result of slowing NVC down..

To give you an idea of normal time from CSC to NVC, another constituent’s I-130 was approved on May 9 and has now arrived May 31 2012 at the NVC but has not yet been entered into the system So its taking 18-22 Business days on average to assign NVC case number.

Mine was 27 day including weekends (about 19 business days). Maybe calling the congressman made them find it 2 days later, but it's hard to say

Dear All,

whats up? Already 87 days passed NVC did not receive my petition yet, I sent my approval letter to nvcresearch, I got an acknowledgement from them that they receive my scan copy of approval letter and they will contact with uscis on behalf of me, but 20 days passed no information from NVCresearch, I don't know where is my petition.............

It is an old topic, but for you guys who went through the trouble of having NVC not received the case for the long time. What happened?

I'm now in the same situation. 70 days still nothing..
