Starting to get pissed at NVC!!!

[Sean and Laura 1]

PhilC and Sean and Laura this is what I just did. Thank God I did they are open until 8pm. Do it now. This was given to me by Tokinaija. God bless them.

Call USCIS, and specifically request to be connected to a Tier 2 supervisor (bypassing the contract customer reps). When connected to a Tier 2 representative, request that you want confirmation that your approved case has been physically shipped to NVC. In amenable words, request for the specific date that the package was shipped. If you are lucky, you will get someone who would take the time to confirm this for you.

What happened just now for me:

I called and quess what? My case is still at CSC. The very nice very sweet CSC Tier 2 supervisor lady wrote a very fast email stating it has been 4 weeks and this petition has been approved please forward to NVC immediately without delay and she gave me a Confirmation number. Faith without works is dead. wooo weee. Thank the Lord.

Just did the same thing. Got transferred to a Tier 2 supervisor (the transfer took about 50 minutes of being put on hold and listening to a pre-recorded message in another language, oddly). She looked up the case and said it was just sent out TODAY. She explained that even though they NOA2 "says" it's been sent out, sometimes they require additional review and processing after their approval, but that it was indeed sent out as of this morning. She said there was no other confirmation number she could give me, but assured me it was CSC today. She said even on Monday NVC might not have their computer's updated, but they should by the middle of next week.

So nice to hear a reassuring voice (they really are nice over at USCIS!) explain the process and reassure me that everything is fine and on track and that nothing is lost in the ether. Thanks for the tip guys!

I called USCIS tonight also. Was on hold for about 45 minutes. When the lady answered the phone she said mine was still there and would be sent to NVC next week. She told me she had just got off the phone with someone that was approved June 29. Mine was June 25.I wonder if that was Sean and Laura ??? I told her I was on this web site where other people had been approved after my date and their packet was already at NVC. She told me to not to believe everything I see on the web. Little does she know we have our own little army. Maybe next week. Getting beyond pissed...I thank her for keeping me on hold for an hour.

Awww dang Phil sorry. Seems miss tier 2 was not very helpful. But hopefully this week coming up. Well at least we all 3 found out where our cases are. That's all I wanted. They aren't lose just delayed.

There bundling sucks. I mean VSC folk bam recived and case #'s in days. They are hatin on CSC for reals. weeks between receive, case#, AOS and IIN. and Me and Sean and Laura goodness sake. Come on now. Oh wait what if it was sent via Nigerian mail. OMG Sean we are talking months years. Dana and Divine had a package arrive a few weeks ago that was sent to Nigeria 2 years ago. OMG my bad.

I'll offer you the same friendly wager I have with QP & Thomas - if you think it's better to be at VSC, consider I have an NOA1 2 weeks before you, and I don't have my NOA2 yet. To pass the time, let's see which happens first - you get received into NVC, or I get my NOA2.

The NVC delay sucks, but it is *not* better to be stuck in Vermont, where nobody's getting NOA2s.

Just a way to while away the interminable wait....

I am sorry but I was talking about VSC folk that got NOA2 like on July 2 received July 9 and are almost done. Some were saying they are like making up for making VSC folk wait so long.

And since my petition has basically been expedited to be shipped out ASAP. Like she said it should be their Monday and requested to be processed immediately. I won't take that bet.

I don't know what to say. Hang in there seems so flip. But know this to will pass. Than you can come stress at the NVC. Gladly I know.

It's nice to have "company" along the way.

What a freaking nightmare! When we got the NOA1 on March 1 I did some conservative calculating just to get an idea of a time frame I could keep in my mind and just keep my eye on getting there. I figured probably Thanksgiving. And then everything ground to a halt.

I haven't seen my fiance since Feb 2011, can't afford to go there, especially alone with my baby (turned 1 this week!). It's really hard being a "single mom" and trying to provide everything for him, and my fiance can't help me for a long time - you know how long it's going to be before he gets approval to work even once he's here. I got this - but damn it's rough, and I get so discouraged seeing no progress at all.

Really, really still hoping we get a visa by Christmas. Don't want to do Christmas alone again.

Glad you located your file & it's on its way.

CSC really going fast, but making a lot of errors it seems, and not sending the petitions to NVC efficiently.

Oh...I am sure he will be here before Christamas. Once you get to NVC, the process goes very fast for K-1 petition.

[Sean and Laura 1]

Just got off the phone with NVC who received our petition today. She said it's "not in the system yet" and to "try back in a couple of days for the case number". Woot!

So let USCIS on Friday, arrived NVC Monday. Let's hope things pick up from here!
