Wow! Good luck to all of you! :) Getting an attorney for us is also not option because his PF is way expensive. I know this sounds silly but I am also hoping to finish everything by January so I can go before the first quarter of 2014 ends. ^^,) I've been reading and following F2A timelines here in VJ and it seems that the average time from cases received by NVC until issuance of visas is 3-5 months.

That doesn't sound silly;) as long as you already prepared you aos documents and the documents for iv, pay the fees right away when you get them and send the paperworks, I think you'll be able to finish it too before the year ends. Just be careful in answering the forms and your documents because if you get a checklist (correction/missing documents) that's another month of waiting:) God bless you:)

Well - I called NVC again for case number but they still don't have it. They are very firm with 8 weeks and after that they will tell me the next procedure. Our NOA2 was on August 8th, 2013.

Ughh, sorry to hear that.

Today is your 8 weeks, I am one week behind you.

I presume you will call NVC tomorrow? I asked NVC what would happen after 8 weeks, they said that we need to email them our NOA2 and they will locate our petition. Who knows how long that would take from the time they get the e-mail.

Please keep us updated with your case.

Hi Barich,

Our NOA2 approval date was August 15th and our petition has not received in NVC yet.

What is the DHS phone number that your wife called? Did the officer actually assure your wife that USCIS will definitely send your petition to NVC?

The reason I asked, a month ago, a Tier2 operator at USCIS assured me that they were going to expedite (received a letter from USCIS stated this) the shipment for our petition and should wait for two weeks, but nothing happened since.

DHS phone number 2022828000. Sorry for being late to reply. Yea the officer said that.

F2A visa

Sent I-130 on Feb.8/2013

NOA1-Feb.11/2013

NOA2-Aug.13/2013

Petition arrived at NVC-

Thanks so much! I'll do my best not to mess up completing all the forms. Time is crucial for us. :D I'm done gathering all the documents needed and all I have to do is wait. Btw, did you call/inform NVC before your brother turned 21?

After taking a long time for our case to arrived at NVC, I tried requesting for a expeditious process for our case 'cause of the lost time plus my brother was turning 21 last month. But it was rejected. So I guess in this way I was able to inform them that my brother just turned 21:)

It's also good if you give them a call and ask if you need to do something like writing an email. Good luck
