They should, but NVC may not start to process them (enter them into the system) on the same day. I noticed this when my petition arrived at NVC vs other people with the same NOA2 approval date as me.

Joeyjoey - How did you know when NVC had received your petition? Did they send you a letter or something similar to a Notice of Action with your case #?

Thanks!

I called them everyday and I emailed them every other day! When you receive the NVC case#, you can derive the date it was entered into their system. My case# is like RDJ 2006 xyz 999. if you subtract 500 from the digits in position indicated here by "xyz", you will have the numerical day in the year in which NVC got your case. This will match the date that they tell you the petition was received on the telephone.

By the way, what exactly does NVC do??? It seems to be a bit of a waste of time for the service center to send to NVC...wouldn't it be much easier to just ship to Embassy?

Also, how does NVC send to Embassy...by express mail, I hope??? Thanks.

Stinger, it's all about the bureaucracy.

The Service Centers are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security. NVC is under the perview of the State Deparment which is responsible for our overseas embassies. As far the feds are concerned, those are two different worlds apart.

The NVC is essentially a clearinghouse and distribution center for all visa packages headed to our various embassies abroad.

From what I understand, NVC sends overseas using DHL. That may have changed.

Yes, NVC still uses DHL.
