NVC Filers - November 2013

[Saylin 1,605]

Can you do this until they've assigned you a NVC case #?

Am I correct in thinking that they wont have a record of your case until that file hits their system (i.e. scanned in)?

From my phone calls to them over the past few days they are unaware of your USCIS case # until you've been delivered and scanned in.

Also ... how long are folks seeing it take between NOA2 to NVC receiving? I'm thinking it could be a few weeks ...

Exactly, you can't add email addresses until a case number is assigned since they have no file on you.

My NOA2 took two weeks to get to the NVC and I was able to get my case no. over the phone along with giving my email address at the same time.

That's encouraging! The NVC folks tell you up to 8 weeks ...

I have an hour long drive home every night. This means I have all the time in the world to check in with NVC daily.

Hi,

My NoA2 just got approved at USCIS.. and now it will be transferred to NVC, I was wondering if I can get all my mail from them through email since I live in the US? or Do I have tto mail them every single document instead of emailing them it?

If you give over both email addresses once the case number is assigned, then NVC will send you all correspondence by email. But, this doesn't mean that YOU can send THEM both packages by email. Only a few select countries are eligible for EP (electronic processing, aka send packages by email). Pakistan is NOT one of those countries, so you have no choice but to snail mail both packages.

so basically If I provide both emails they will email me but I will have mail them all the documents ?

Yup, exactly.

By "whole process", do you mean just the NVC portion? Cause that depends on you and how fast you pay bills and send the packages out (and if they're correct).

The interview letter is only sent out after an interview date is assigned. An interview date is only assigned after a case complete. And the case is only complete once both bills are paid and both packages are received and accepted.

I highly suggest you go back and read the first two posts in this thread. It contains all the information you need.

I did read the first two posts but never understood it, the 2 packages do I have to fill those or does my husband have fill one?

Perhaps re-reading it will help

AOS package = petitioner

IV package = beneficiary

1 last thing. Can i email the NVC right now with both emails or should I wait for them to first get my case ?

That'd be pointless, they don't have your case. They know nothing about you. They don't have a file on you, so there'd be nothing to add the email addresses to. You need to wait until the case has arrived at NVC and has been issued a case number. Only then can you tell them your email addresses (and it's much faster if you just call them; it can take weeks for them to get to your email, and by then, they could have mailed something out).

Hi guys,

First I want to state that I got my NOA-2 last Friday after I expedited it through USCIS due to an upcoming deployment. The crazy part was that I requested an expedite on Monday, received an email asking for my mil id on Wednesday and got approved last Friday. I hounded USCIS on Tuesday and they told me my file left from CSC to NVC that same day on a truck or something. As of last night NVC still does not have my file so I will give another week before I call.

Second, I have a quick question for anyone that might know. Has anyone use the I-864EZ before? I am the sole sponsor and my wife is the only one I am sponsoring so I qualify. I have also submit that form with my package to USCIS when I file for the I-130. Do I have to resubmit? Or does my package stay intact and I just wait to pay the bill.

Thanks
