Who will be the one to call NVC, petitioner or beneficiary?

[EOC 440]

Usually the petitioner will call...is there a reason why your fiance isn't calling???

NVC will not reply to email requests for case numbers...and, you can't check status online either...

Petitioner or Beneficiary can call NVC.

NVC usually reply to emails if they have the requested information available, though it might take a while due to their huge backlog.

Thanks to this post! Gave me an idea to call NVC instead of the petitioner. Just called them a while ago and got the case number already. In transit to the consular just two weeks after NOA2.

Infoneeded SennaBrigante and GlowMe90 I wish magicjack can be used here. Im able to download but wont be able to register cause UAE blocked it

Tried to call NVC twice using normal local number but I was already out of credit/Load before I could even talk to them… Its only this one lady saying my call is important to them and have to wait and will be attended shortly, then one guy will say All their agents are busy attending calls… lol

Its costly to call them. But my hubby cant call due to the nature of his job and won’t be able to call only once he is home after 2 weeks.

How about skype ? just skype credits and call them

The costs are even lower

Skype is an option. Just buy credits.

The wait time to speak with a human can take up to 45 mins so using normal credits on your phone will be costly.

I'm new to this forum, but I am glad to see I am not alone in trying to contact the NVC. It can be quite discouraging, but seems that persistence is the key. So guess it is time to become the queen of the redial button. Thanks to every one who has posted here, even though I see the post are from 2014, it still gives me encouragement to keep pushing forward.
