Philadelphia Approvals to NVC

[ludakrishna 2]

I know of 2 other members who's local field office is Philly and were approved between February 1 and February 15th. Both of them have not had the NVC receive their case files. Has there been any recent members with I-130 or I-129 approval from Philly that have had the NVC receive their case. I just scheduled an info pass appointment for the 25th and I'm going to let them know my frustration and dissatisfaction at their incompetence. I have both senators, my representative and Ombudsman involved. I requested the CIS for tracking and they refused to provide it. Case was approved in 74 calendar days, and today is day 43 of waiting for the NVC to receive the flipping case. Seems to me Philly is doing some major SNAFU with our cases.

As you know my local office is not Philadelphia but I am very disappointed in the major shuffle that they have been doing with your case file.

When is the last time you spoke with USCIS?

The reason I ask is, it is quite possible that NVC may have received your case. I called every day, both to USCIS and the NVC (a week after my I-130 was approved), to ask when and if my case file had been sent. Some days I was lucky and the USCIS ISO told me that my file had not yet left USCIS. Most of the time they told me absolutely nothing and even more frustrating, told me that they didn't know where my case was! That's exactly what you want to hear right?

I called NVC every day as well and they continued to tell me that had not yet received my file. This was incorrect as I found out on March 4, that my file had been received on Feb. 25.

Have you confirmed that New Delhi sent your case file back yet?

An infopass appointment is good but if any IO gives you static, ask to speak to a supervisor. At the Pittsburgh office, I was blatantly lied to at my infopass so if you know something sounds fishy, definitely speak to someone higher up. I think its ridiculous that they are allowed to lie to people.

Per senator file delivered 3/8 signed for by Desmond. NVC doesn't show received in their system.

NVC is taking 30-45 days to hand out case numbers due to huge workload. Take a look at ppl's timeline to see the trend. You should be getting yours any day now,nothing you can do abt it

Yes that true, but his case was by mistake sent to the New Delhi consulate when it should have went to the NVC. That alone probably cost him 2 additional weeks if not more.

Our I-130 was approved by Philly field office on 1/10/13. NVC received it on 2/18 and assigned a case # on 3/8.

Our I-130 also was approved at the Philadelphia official on 2/15 when I call USCIS I was told to wait until 4/15 before they can research my case
