I AM WORRIED !!

[shosurplussales 0]

my situation is this, i recieved my NOA2 on dec. 21st 2006. i have been calling the NVC all week and they tell me they have not recieved my petition yet. Today i called the USCIS california service center and the late (rude) told me that it is still in there building and i should allow them about 3-5 more weeks before they send it out to the NVC. Its due to the holidays. Is anybody else experienceing this same situation because they recieved a NOA2 right before the holidays.

Thank you everybody in advance

just be patient. it usually takes about 2-3 weeks until your petition reaches the NVC. Due to the holidays (xmas, New years) it will take a little longer than usual.

Dont worry your case will get there

Did you receive the NOA2 email or physical letter? Mostly likely it has been sent to NVC - don't worry. From my experiance, USCIS service centers are never helpful - as they only have the same information as you do! They will tell you to wait and really are unable to do anything else for you. As for me I received my NOA2 email on Dec 6th and never to this day have recieved the letter in the mail. I received a letter from the NVC on Dec 18th saying they had received my petition on the 13th and were forwarding it to my consulate. My fiance called the us embassy in Lima and they already had received his paperwork and already had an interview date for him entered in the system! If I were you I would keep calling the NVC and maybe if you don't hear anything in a week or so, call your embassy and see if they have received anything.

No need to worry - give it some more time.

Dont worry !!.. there will be a delay with the holidays and im sure they dont send your paperwork to the NVC as soon as it is complete they will wait until they have a big batch to send.. this could be 2-3 weeks before its sent

Thank you for your support everyone

Does anybody else with the same NOA2 date (give or take a few days) have the same problem?????

It's not a problem. With the holidays and weekends, it has only been around 13 days. It routinely can take 3-5 weeks as you were told. Try to relax and sit tight.

Everything should be fine

It took us 5 weeks to go from USCIS to NVC...they will get to it

Peace,

NVC hasn't received my petition yet either and I was approved 11/29. NVC keeps telling me it has a max 90 days to get there. I asked today what would happen if 90 days passed and the lady said, after that you can send them a copy of your approval notice and they will search for your petition.

USCIS is so frustrating, my approval notice said it was sent to the "listed consulate" and that has got everybody confused. Some people say check with the consulate and others say it goes to the NVC. I've checked with the consulate and they don't have it. I finally got somebody from the customer service center to give me a fax number for the Vermont Service center so I sent them a fax yesterday. Oops I'm ranting a bit aren't I.

Yes this is very frustrating......if they skipped the NVC then how do we know our new DOC number??

ugghhh

I know it doesn't help much, but see my timeline for a comparison.

So far I know of nobody's K-1 petition that has not gone through the NVC, they used to once upon a time. I think USCIS still hasn't changed much since old times. Somehow I don't think the new case number is all that important, I had a little chat with a lawyers assistant and asked him about the case number and he was saying I already have the USCIS case number which the consulate can use. The embassy I am going for is so small that they can probably handle it with just a USCIS case number. The good thing for me is that I could just as well go over there and marry her and probably do a dirct consular filing.

hey did you recieve a letter for the NVC or how did you find out they logged your file..

thanks

So far I know of nobody's K-1 petition that has not gone through the NVC,

This happened to several filers in September/October. Wouldn't hurt to contact the consulate directly, but I wouldn't waste your time until 6 weeks have passed since NOA2.

shosurplussales, not nearly enough time has passed yet for you to be at all concerned or to suspect your file has bypassed the NVC. It takes time.

Kitkat1, so what you are saying is several I-129F filers had their petitions bypass the NVC? I have seen many filers get the words "forwarded to the listed consulate", however I thought all of them eventually found out it got to the NVC first? Whats even stranger is that VSC did not list a consulate on the approval notice. Its been 6 weeks now and I just emailed the assistant again at the consulate last week, and she has seen no record on my fiancee.

I sent a complaint to USCIS-COMPLAINT@DHS.GOV telling them that USCIS needs to give us the correct information on the approval notices and should not make us jump through hoops to get information and/or get them to do what their responsibility is in the first place.

So far I have sent a letter and fax to the Vermont Service Center but no response as of yet.
