My fiance and I were approved on July 10th, 2013. It is now September 14th, 2013 (over 2 months) and NVC has still not received anything from USCIS. Is this normal? We fear that our documents have been lost.

- USCIS put in a service request to the California Service Center and told us to wait 30 days to get a response... in the mail.

- NVC said they have not received anything and told me to contact USCIS.

- Department of State said they cannot help us as we do not yet have a case # since NVC hasn't gotten our documents. They told us the papers could be lost or sent to the wrong location and that this should not take more than 1 month.

- USCIS then said that the max. processing time for papers to go from USCIS to NVC is 90 days, and that we can't request that they resend them until it has been 90 days.

- Local congressman said they are looking into it and will mail us a response.

Is this happening to anyone else??

hello SKH4

just wanted to say we are having the same challenge. We where accepted on July 16th and still waiting for case #.

Not sure what else to do. Sent a scanned copy to NVCresearch@state.gov

USCIS says I have to wait 90 days to ask for a follow up on there end.

I will continue to call and see if anything happens. Maybe they are in the same box.

Good luck.

We sent in a scanned copy of our Approval to NVCresearch@state.gov as well... and called USCIS and NVC and Dpt of State what seems like a million times. Our local congressman has been contacted as well. Did you have USCIS put in a service request to the Vermont Service Center to try and track the documents? Apparently it takes forever and isn't very effective, but we're trying everything at this point.

What's strange is that the Department of State said it really shouldn't and doesn't normally take more than a month, and that 2 months should raise some concern. After I asked if our papers were lost or had been sent to the wrong location, they replied with "it's possible"...

We just received an email back from OLUInquiries@uscis.dhs.gov... the fastest response we've gotten via email as of yet. They said our case is currently on it's way back from the National RECORDS Center to California Service Center. USCIS sent our papers to the wrong location.

Does anyone know how long it takes for this correction to be fixed? How much time does it take now to get back to CSC then to NVC?

Geez, I read elsewhere on here about others getting accidentally sent to NRC - I wonder how many people in total were sent to the wrong place?

Maybe this has something to do with the increasing delays in the CSC to NVC pipeline?

My turn to sit and worry whether it makes it to the correct place or not, haha!
