I AM WORRIED !!

[Dean/Gra 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

Shosurplussales,

We received our NOA2 on Dec 26 via e mail, I was visiting my Sweetie and did not receive the snail mail confirming the NOA2 until I returned on Jan 8. The same day I received a snail mail from NVC dated Jan 5 stating they had received it and it would be out to the embassy within a week. We were very happy with this. I called evening of Jan 11 to NVC, finally got thru to an operator and was told that they had not only received it from USCIS, but had forwarded it to the embassy in Manila on Jan 4.

We thought the holidays would delay our petition as well, as it turned out it apparently speeded the process.

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?

If I remember correctly, their files bypassed the NVC completely and went straight to the consulate. I know it happened to Gary of Luz and Gary. Maybe you could search some of the older posts to find out how they got more information. Unfortunately, I doubt you will get any response from your email.

Ok thanks thats good to know! No I won't get any response from the email, I'm sure they get thousands of complaints but if nothing else it lets me get my frustration out.

KitKat1, I finally found that profile, and if you check their timeline, their petition did go to the NVC.

Email Gary directly - maybe he put that in his timeline but I remember when there were many, many posts about this. Or maybe search the old posts. There were several people who skipped the NVC entirely and there was all kinds of confusion . . .

KitKat1 I have read all this stuff and spent enough time researching it, see my links to all the topics you are talking about below. Thats why I'm saying that I know of nobodys K-1 petition that went directly to the Consulate. Its also better that way cause NVC can track it with USCIS you are in limbo.

Here's a VJ Discussion that shows one person got the "forwarded to listed consulate" wording but it still went through NVC. Maybe petitions do go through NVC, but not all of USCIS knows it?

forwarded to listed consulate

Not confused yet?

Try this one!

hhmm - maybe they got the NOA2 indicating the petition was going directly to the consulate, but it ended up going through the NVC then?

When we got our NOA 2 (see timeline below), it took about a month for CSC to SEND the file to NVC. And that was with no holiday/weather delays! VSC tends to send it right away. CSC seems to hold it for "one more check" - who knows why. Maybe someone there owns a warehouse, and wants to collect more rent?

Yes thats what I think and thats what I'm hoping so that NVC can search my case if they haven't received it in 6 more weeks. Good thing is she's busy riding horses and won a bronze in horse jumping so the delay is not killing her.
