Anyone know how I will know when my case is transferred to NVC? When I check on the USCIS page it still says the same thing from last week when I got my approval? Do I just have to call USCIS and ask if/when my case was transferred?

20 business days ( I was told that just now) after the date of the transfer.

We're supposed to check after 14 business days whether or not the case has been received.

About 7 something business days post that date - they will give you a case num/IVID

7 days after receipt? That'd be nice. My case got to NVC on Jan 21, still nada.

its so true..that's why I have backed off..besides when I was in the hospital and bored out of my mind. Hoping for an approval today! Hey Eastyo....I know they've been doing transfers at night...but are approval notifications at night or during the day?? I cant remember.

Good luck today everyone. hopefully they work their buns off today since they need to catch up between the holiday and all this STUPID SNOW! im sooooo sick of seeing this white #######!

You live in new england girl.. c'monnnnnnn

Good luck to all of y'all..

7 days "post that date"

that date = after the first 14 business days

Thanks! So basically it sounds like I don't have to do too much yet, its only been a week. 14 business days will be around March 5 so I will plan on calling that week to NVC and see if they have received my case.

If I was you, I would call everyday after the first week!

Good luck

I just wanted to write something as I've been reading many comments on the forum and want to provide my support.

Sometimes reading these posts and doing so much digging online really effects your mind, your soul, and heart. Everyone will eventually get their approval...it will happen. We haven't even reached the average time currently on USCIS which is 8 months, and as much as that sucks and as much as we could complain, we should take this time to foster in ourselves the quality of patience. I haven't seen my wife in over 7 months now, it's hard, very hard. But I don't let that get me down. I focus on our relationship and think what can I do in the next few months that can make our relationship stronger. My parents had to live apart from one another for 2 years in a time in which there was no skype, no cell phones, no internet, no sms, no mms. It was a struggle that we can't even imagine.

I post all of this because I read many people's post and everyone seems frustrated and upset on here, when coming here should provide calm and support. Take this time to focus on yourself, in 4 months you'll get everything done (God Willing)...think of this as 4 months of your time that you could use for something. We will all get through it and in a few years we will forget that there were so many issues.

If you are one of the folks refreshing the page every 10 secs waiting for an update...walk away, calm down and honestly just relax. It's much better on your mind than constant refreshing which does nothing. When it comes, it will come!

I truly believe that every difficulty is followed by ease, and we will have that soon!

I`m like that too... ,I try to keep myself busy with eating clean working out and reading books since i do not have a job,I managed to lose 70 pounds ,at first i just wanted to lose the first 20 pounds i gained in the US lol ,but it kept me a bit busy so i kept on going .

My Husband cannot handle this very well he gets very upset that`s why i took over checking VJ,Just last night i was looking for the Average time from NVC to interview date for Morocco,and found out it was 4-5 month and when i told him he got very upset and angry,we both thought this entire thing would take 7 month ow naive of us

He has far more things to keep him busy his Thesis, work, Reviewing books and articles plus our two dogs ,oh how i miss my dogs ! 8 months last time i saw them,i do see them in Skype everynight but i miss them like anything,and in those couple of month in the US i made many friends,Jamie`s family did not want me to go ,and when we explained why i could not stay they just could not understand it...but anyways ,yes keep yourself busy with other things .

Hey, keep your head up, it will all be over soon and you will be with him!

Also, how did you check the average times from NOA2 to interview for your embassy?

[aditya3245 113]

Lets hope that when we check in after 10 PM central, they've transferred more...

this is taking forever..

Once USCIS approves your application, it is out of their hands. You would have to constantly follow up with NVC to get a case number from what I know. Also - NVC is really good communicating everything via email.

I have filed through immigration attorney (filed on 8/12, transferred to TSC on 2/7 still waiting for approval). Can I still follow-up with NVC for a case number ?

Not until you approve.

It takes 20 business days after approval.

Hold our horses

er... no. You need an approved i130 and for USCIS to send this to the NVC, currently to the NVC, you don't even exist

I meant to ask, 20 days after my I-130 approval, can I follow up with NVC directly or I have to only get information through only attorney ?

20 business days.

you can do it either ways.

attorneys have paralegals who can do this for you.
