Anyone With This Experience?

[godsrule 7]

We got our NOA2 Oct 15th and had been calling NVC for case number at least twic a week but they told us that they have not received our file yet from USCIS so the supervisor adviced my fiancée to call USCIS she called them today and spoke to a supervisor who told her that our file has been sent to the consulate directly without going through NVC. Is that normal? Had anybody experienced this before? Is almost 2 months since we got approved and I heard the petition is only valid for 4 months from the date of approval. Please I will like to know if anyone had experience this in the past. Thanks every one.

Hi,

I concur with #2 as he/she mentioned. Better call and discuss your situation and have it raised to supervisor.

NVC may be backlogged and may have received the petition, but haven't processed it yet.

The petition does expire after 4 months, however you can get the validity extended. The procedure for that varies between embassies.

We got our NOA2 on August 1st, but it wasn't processed in NVC unti September 24, which is the date we got our case number mailed to us. It's obnoxiously slow!

I put this in your other thread but here you go try this.

Sorry but CSC is slow slow. Have you done a NVCresearch request? If not why do that.

Send to nvcresearch@state.gov be sure to scan your I-797C (NOA2) put in the Subject line Petition not receive at NVC after 7 weeks.

Write in body of email your date of approval and let them try and chase it down

I agree with dwheels76, do this! But just to correct the information, scan and email I-797 (NOA2). I-797C is NOA1.

USCIS is notorious for giving out wrong information. Have you called the foreign fiance's US consulate to verify this?

I am pretty certain that your petition will be sent to NVC. NVC says to wait 8 weeks, and your 8 weeks is almost up. Just wait a few days more. If it's still not with NVC, I have a feeling USCIS sent your petition elsewhere by mistake. Perhaps NBC? Won't be the first time that happened.

Even after we were issued a visa under K1 - K3 ... It took a month and a half to get it. Sometimes things get backed-up. It'a all part of the process. Get used to it.

Honestly, I'm confused. The embassy typically knows about the case before it arrives because NVC assigned the new case number. Also, NVC can take other steps as additional checking of petitions. With me, after receiving the case number from the NVC rep, I was able to track the case while it traveled from NVC to the consulate. You can contact NVC and DOS numbers to ask questions on your case. USCIS can only confirm that the case was shipped. (Your USCIS case status does indicate "shipped" right?)

Good luck!
