NVC May 2013 - K1 filers..

[GJ&Rach 12]

Rob, sorry to hear you're still having problems with them have you tried maybe talking to the ombudsman? Might be worth a shot...

Rob, sorry to hear you're still having problems with them have you tried maybe talking to the ombudsman? Might be worth a shot...

Tried that, haven't gotten a response back from them.

I've really tried everything I can do. So far:

• Emailed NVCResearch on May 15th, nothing back on that yet.
• Emailed the ombudsman on the 16th - no response.
• Contacted my congressman, the response back was that CSC approved on 4/24, and it takes 3-6 weeks to reach the NVC, so they can't do anything else until it's been more than 6 weeks, so they won't do anything until 6/5
• Last week finally got USCIS to put in a service request, and there should be something back by tomorrow
• Still call NVC twice a day to see if it shows up.

Going to try talking to tier 2 again today, to see if there is any response from the service request.

So even with the NOA2 wait, that's really just the first hurdle... so many things can delay the process...

Strange update. I called NVC again to get my case number and ask a little more about this additional processing, and the guy tells me they mailed it out to the embassy today.

That is odd, did they give you a case number?

[Possiblymaybe 371]

Yes, they did. I've been reading about the problems you're having, and I feel for you! You must be extremely frustrated by all of this.

[Rob & Rachel 24]

Thanks, I hope some of your luck will rub off...I'd love some news like yours!

Did you try to send an email to SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov (head quarter of USCIS)?

I've read about files being sent to NRC by mistake instead of NVC... I hope this is not the case for any of us..

No, I haven't tried that, if Tier 2 doesn't have any information, I'll try that route. Thanks!

I've heard about files going to the NRC, I'm afraid that might be the case with me, it makes the most sense.

What get's me about that, is I understand screw-ups happen, but I get the impression that they don't want to so anything about them unless it's been over a month, rather than just taking care of it in a timely manor.

[Rob & Rachel 24]

I’m on hold to speak to a tier 2, but the tier 1 I spoke to was able to tell me that there had been a response to my service request, so I should be able to find out where it’s at in the next 30 minutes.... now I just hope it's some positive news....

[Rob & Rachel 24]

Well, it's still at the CSC

The tier two had a vaguely worded response that it would be going to the NVC, the word "expedited" was used, but the context was unclear.

The tier 2 told me that he didn't have the authority to make them do anything (as much as he would like to sometimes) but did say that batches are sent to the NVC about every two weeks. So it would be in the next batch, but who knows if the batch will be sent tomorrow, or the last batch was sent two days ago, and it will be two weeks before it's sent, plus a few days for delivery time

[Lynkali 163]

They're only sent out from CSC once every TWO WEEKS? That doesn't make much sense, considering how people here report new arrivals here on VJ from CSC nearly every day. Unless the processing of those batches once they arrive from CSC takes days and days and days .... sounds fishy.

Well, I'm sorry for your horrendous delays (and really hoping mine and others won't have the same issues), but the one saving grace is, at least they know WHERE your file is and it's just a matter of time now! I hope it goes fast!

[Possiblymaybe 371]

That is really disappointing that it never left CSC!

[Rachel_Keleigh 2]

Our RFE was received the 29th. I'm still waiting patiently! With my teeth gritted, all apendages crossed and MANY horrible lost paperwork scenerios crossing my mind! Haha! Waiting always take longer when you know you're waiting

[Robb&Ann 101]

can't believe that 1 week is a long wait already..

Thank God!! Called NVC... My file has just been entered into their system..!!
