Do all cases go to NVC before the Consulate?

[wasabisnack 0]

I feel like I'm asking a really stupid question, because I know we need to be assigned a case number at NVC, but ...

I originally called the USCIS to change my address and they informed me that the case was sent to the London Embassy and that is where I should change my address. I then said, "shouldn't I try the NVC first?" and the woman said, "not all cases are sent to the NVC before they're sent to the Consulate."

Could that be true?!? Or did I get an operater who doesn't know her stuff...

I have been calling the NVC once a day for 3 days, but they stil haven't gotten our case. It's only been 10 days since our NOA2, so I'm figuring it's on it's way there. I just don't want to miss changing our address if what she said is true.

Any thoughts ...

(and thanks as always!)

wasabisnack,

Search for a thread asking the identical question only a week or two ago.

There was a previous thread about this when the Sept batch of NOA2 were released and several members were told the same thing by USCIC and NVC. I think the confusion is there is an electronic notification sent to the consulate the same day the case is sent tothe NVC. It took most of us a month to get notification from the NVC and even then their dates were al jacked up. I called on 11 Oct and they said they did not have my case yet. On 15 Oct I received an email from NVC telling me my case was received on 10 Oct and forwarded on 13 Oct. However their dates are obviously wrong becasue we received our first letter from the Embassy on 30 Oct stating they received our case on 11 Oct, which means NVC had it way before the dates they stated. Just be patient. Payato

Thanks for the info. I tried to find that thread, but couldn't. I know it's probably going to be a wait, I'm just more concerened about who to change the address with. I'm begining to think I'm going to contact both...

When you received that email from NVC, how did they have your email address? Just curious if it's something you have to register like with the USCIS or if it happens automatically.

Thanks again.

This is completely bad information. ALL cases do go to NVC. The misinformation line for USCIS (CSC) will tell you the wrong information. They are just reading you a script.
