USCIS receipt number

[zooxahoy 0]

Hello everyone, does anyone know if the USCIS still updates the case status post i-129f approval? I received a letter via snail mail with an update saying it was received at the NVC and would be sent to the embassy, but the case status hasnt changed to say that. Im assuming it only tracks the progress of the i129f form? If so, is there a way to see the progress afterwards (when it is received by the embassy, etc.)?

no, there won't be any more updates on the uscis page at this point. you will need your new case number (it should be on the physical form or you can call NVC) and you can track it at this website: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

zooxahoy, how long did it take you to receive the letter from NVC? We had our case status updated on USCIS about the approval for the I129F being approved on October 2 and then the hard copy of that approval to our lawyer a week later. It has now been three weeks, and we haven't heard anything from NVC. Is that normal? Should I call anyone?

Thanks!

It's normal for cases processed at the California Service Centre. They're taking an average of 6-8 weeks to send out the cases to the NVC. If it has been 3 weeks since your NOA2, I would suggest waiting at least another week before calling the National Customer Service Centre and requesting for a Tier 2 rep to first check if they have sent your case out. If they haven't, keep calling them until they give you a date that it has been sent out. Then once they've confirmed that it has been sent out, you can start calling the NVC at (603-334-0700) to check if they have received your case. Good luck and I hope you get your case number soon!

Thank you so much for the help. I will definitely follow your advice.

i would recommend calling now, because we received our letter from the NVC shortly after approval, but then its been 3 weeks and the embassy still hasnt received it.

All you lucky VSC/TSC filers have been getting your cases sent to the NVC within a week or two of the NOA2. :)Unfortunately, CSC is taking much longer (6-8 weeks on average according to timelines) to ship approved cases to the NVC.

Sorry to hear about the holdup at NVC for your case, and hope it gets sent off to the embassy soon.
