NVC Filers - July 2012

[Torp 0]

I'm not entirely sure, but a phone call to NVC will tell you exactly what you need to know. It'll probably have to wait until you get a case number assigned though. But still worth calling them up and asking what the exact procedure will be.

Saylin, thanks! Thats what I did yesterday, got all the info on the topic and was informed that my case has been entered in to the system:)

I really think those operators just say the first thing that comes to mind without checking anything. When I called to ask if my case was received by the NVC I was told it wasn't there. 7 hours later my husband calls & he is told it has been there since July 16th

sooo funny and ridiculous

congrats though

Thanks Darnell. I called NVC and asked for a supervisor. The supervisor asked me to resend that July 12 email again to nvcinquiery and he said he will take care of it himself. Seems a very helpful guy so I just resend that email and now fingers crossed. If I don't hear from him tonight (he said as long as email gets in before midnight Eastern time he will handle it), I will call them again tomorrow and ask for him.

Ya Know, I get a vacant stare when I give advice and ya not take it 100 percent.

WOW I thought what the heck call USCIS just to see what they say. To my dismay they said "You have to wait 90 days. It can take up to 90 days for NVC to recive your case. If they haven't received in 90days than please do call us back so we can see where your case is." OMG I am speechless.

[Amenspanglish 5]

Thank you Amenspanglish. I noticed that our dates are pretty similar so good luck to you as well!

You're welcome! And thanks! I will keep you updated!

Sorry to hear this happening again! The exact thing was happening on my petition. I received the approval on FEB 9 and NVC never received it... I would call every single day and one day in April I got the good news that they had received it...to my surprise i had to WAIT another 20 days to get a case #... a couple of days later I call again as suggested by everyone here on VJ and the operator said it had not been received...I called USCIS and they told me "It is not an issue until it reaches 90 days" I waited the 90 days and USCIS said "now it is an issue 90 days is such a long wait. Please allow us 45 days to research were your petition was sent. I waited 45 MORE days and I was about to file for USCIS to send a duplicate which i read costs about $400. The following morning I called and there it was received at NVC since April. I asked for an expedite but the lady said they only expedite when it is a life or death situation. My suggetion to you is don't let any days pass by without calling and try to get names of the people you talk to at NVC and USCIS. And one more thing get your congressman involved, most of the time they get things done faster

I remember when i called USCIS they told me the same thing. But within 10 calender days it reached NVC. Keep praying n dont worry it will be in NVC in few days.

"You cannot make online payments for your case at this time. Please contact the NVC if you have questions or need further information."

I guess they are processing my AOS invoice. hopefully it will be available to pay in couple of days.

i got another email response from nvc, and it was a email i sent 9 days ago... which is totally useless.

Well this just in. Called NVC and was tellin the lady was saga. And she said "well to be honest we have a boatload (I know she wanted to cuss) of applications and I am sure its here we just haven't got to it." Than she said, "Well I know we have people working the weekend to try and get caught up".

So a bit of light on at least my situation I hope, I am smiling a little. She said give it until mid week.
