NVC - Must talk to a live person

[Erichu 0]

We were NOA2 approved on Sept 20, 2006. I too was worried because we had seen some quick CSC to NVC that where in our NOA2 approval. Be patient is all I heard from others. Well they were right. I finally found out that our petition was reveived at NVC via an Email to NVCInquiry@State.gov

The Email said they had received. When I got the letter from NVC, it stated they received on Oct 17. Just about 4 weeks.

With so many approvals lately, I think this is now an average time for CSC to get to NVC. Please be grateful that CSC is soon to be a lost memory

CSC treatment is a testament to incompetence, indifference and mismanagement. You're right, we can only celebrate when we are finally free of them. NVC is much better, which is not to say that they are good.

I tried the email route too with NVC. Two problems with it: First, they are slow to answer - two day turnaround on my simple request for status. Second, their email didn't provide the date the petition was sent to the embassy even though I asked for it.

I'm tired of being patient and prefer to get all the info I can. The method to track shipment of the petition to the embassies works great if you know the ship date. To be sure you get that, you have to call.
