So, do you guys remember how happy I was about our NOA2? Well, it's been 4 weeks and I've been calling the NVC daily to see if they have received our file and assigned a case number to it. Today, we had our Congressman's office call the NVC for us to find out why they still don't have it. Here is what the aide found out (this is from the email she just sent us):

When I called today they [the NVC] did not have record of it. I then backtracked to USCIS and unfortunately the case was never sent. As this was an error of USCIS I asked that the case now be expedited to NVC. The Congressional Unit was very apologetic and agreed. They will FEDEX it out to NVC today or tomorrow and is going to be re-approved giving it additional time on the validity date.

My fiance sent the rfe reply expedited delivery yet still no word if they've even received it over a week later. 282 days and counting.

He's due to come and visit net week but he's fallen acutely ill

I phone NVC this morning and they have received our file and I have our case number.

However, our case is undergoing 'additional processing'. I just can't believe it. After waiting all this time, we are going to be held up again.

oh damn, im so sorry for you guys. do you have any idea why you've been put into AP?

Shortly after my last post they send rfe receipt msg. So now just waiting on that. Finally got my fiance to send off for tax transcripts. Everything my end is ready. He'll be here to visit next week wooo!! I haven't seen him since last year.

Just got off the phone from NVC (30 minutes on hold before answering) - we're out of AP! File being completed to send to London.

I've got everything ready - have you ordered the 2012 tax transcripts also? They only take about a week to arrive with the USC. I hope he receives them before he gets on the plane to come to see you! Has he done the affidavit of support and bringing a signed copy with him?

I'll probably leave the US just after Memorial weekend and then he comes to visit me for the first time in London the 3rd week of June (we're doing that instead of a vacation this year). We have the wedding provisionally booked for 12 July. We still hope we can make that date as it's his birthday.

NVC finally received our file yesterday!!! We're looking at rescheduling (we canceled our June 15th wedding) for July 12th also!

Oh! That's funny! We're getting married in Wisconsin Dells - it was originally booked for 19 April but the deposit we paid is okay for 12 months, as long as we give them reasonable notice that we want to reschedule.

How's everyone doing over here these days?

[Anna Grant 169]

Not so great today. I've just got off the phone from NVC and they say our case is in Additional Review - which is strange because it appeared to come out of additional processing last Wednesday. When I said this she said 'It's Additional Review, nit processing. We don't do any processing here.' She suggested I phone back early next week.

It's so annoying - to have been waiting so long and now stalling again. Someone who I've been communicating with through VJ has an NOA2 date one day earlier than us and their package has already arrived at London and been registered! (Also, they have an NOA1 date in September, so especially galling).

Our chance of being married on 12 July is slipping out of sight now.

Oh no! So sorry to hear that :-/ But don't give up hope, maybe it's just a matter of a couple weeks or so. July 12th is still a ways away, so you can still make it!

We have been calling NVC since after we got approved (April 25) and they keep on saying that our case is still not on the system and that we should wait for a letter coming from USCIS. Still nothing. Waited for 265 days to get that NOA2 and thought that after that things will go smoothly. Come on CSC where's our case file? ((

FINALLY APPROVED, A WEEK OR 2 EARLIER THAN EXPECTED, SO CLOSE TO 300CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!

Call USCIS and ask when they sent your file off to the NVC (the petitioner has to do that, they don't give any info to the beneficiary).

Congrats!!!
