Yeah Curry... Relax and wait, don't email the embassy until your packet gets there or they will have no idea what you're talking about. You only email the embassy when your packet is there and they begin to process your case. USCIS and NVC/DS are the people to email and call while your package is still in the US. Like Aybee said, it's taking up to 8 weeks now just to transfer from USCIS (esp CSC) to NVC. Ours were around 43 days... so keep calling NVC to check the status, or call the DS, much faster!! Good Luck!

thank you Reneegh724 I'll call the NVC then

We got this response yesterday after my fiance mailed the NVC

Dear Sir/Madam:


Thank you for your inquiry. The National Visa Center has not received
your petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Please scan and email your I-797 or I-171 Notice of Action to
nvcresearch@state.gov. Type the receipt number in the subject line of
your email. We will contact USCIS on your behalf to find your petition.

If your I-797 or I-171 Notice of Action does not indicate USCIS approved
your petition and sent it to the Department of State, please contact
USCIS for a status update.

Thank you for your email inquiry.

We wish to inform you that neither the name of the applicant or the case number shows up in the U.S. Embassy Accra system. This case is awaiting appointment scheduling for the U. S. Embassy in Accra, Ghana. Unfortunately, we are unable to predict when these cases will be scheduled for an interview.

A word about the process: Immigrant visa petitions are processed in the order that they are received at the National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC retains the approved petition until the case is ready for adjudication by a consular officer abroad. Petitions may remain at NVC for several months or for many years depending on the visa category and country of birth of the visa applicant, and how quickly the petitioner submits all the required documents fees. Another factor is the resources available at the designated overseas embassy or consulate. NVC holds the cases until an interview is available.

Here are some helpful tips:

• Read all of the NVC’s instructions thoroughly.
• Submit all requested documents and fees to NVC as quickly as possible
• When you do have an interview scheduled, read our instructions.
• Make sure you bring all the required documents to you interview.

For more information about the process, please reference our Frequently Asked Questions.

We hope this information is helpful to you.

Sincerely,

U.S. Embassy Accra

Consular Section

Hi Curry and Cherry,

Like others said before, this is a canned response email from the Embassy since they don't yet have your info in their system. I got this twice before a final email with a date for my then fiance to pick up the packet and the interview date. Best Wishes and Good Luck!

So today I just happened to check on the uscis website for the case status and i see that they have finally sent our case to the DOS. I hope they have really sent it and it is not lying on someone's desk. Post Decision Activity

On December 12, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.
