The NVC Moral Support/Ranting Thread

[786Hopeful 12]

Congratulations, what a great relief for you to get done with NVC. Am so happy for you.

Thank you! I am a silent member but have been following your case along with soloenta's and samreen's case. Yep, VJ creeper here! Haha... Samreen and I even have the same NOA2 date... I was more happy about her approval than my own...Lol! Seriously, I would rather have them give you a case complete this week and could have waited another week. My prayers are with you, guys! Hang in there... Insha-Allah, you will here something soon!

Another slow day at the office eh?

[IslAmy 122]

Are there any other recent NVC arrivals here? It's been a month since our approval and when I called NVC a few minutes ago they still have not received our case. I then asked the (very nice!) phone rep how long after they receive it can I expect to wait before getting our case number. He said it's an additional 30 days after the day they receive the petition.

I'm about to have a nervous breakdown.

When I called they told me it took 5 weeks from NOA2 date for them to receive your case and then another 30 days for them to assign a case # and IIN. My NOA2 date is 8/18/14 and they "received" my case on 9/17 and they assigned the case # & IIN same day. I was able to submit DS-261 on 9/18. HOWEVER . . . now my AOS fee won't be unlocked for about 20 business days from 9/18 because they haven't finished processing my case into their system.....

A few of my friends on VJ had their cases "received" by NVC about 3-4 weeks after NOA2 date and the case # & IIN's for them were assigned about 2 weeks after and two of them have already paid their AOS fee as well and submitted DS-261.

My point is, NVC says many things so just keep checking and calling twice a week if you can to follow up. Don't drive yourself crazy (like I was). Best of luck and I really hope your case speeds up!

Yep, I'm also a recent NVC arrival. I got my NOA2 from CSC on September 5 and NVC received my case on September 17 (from what I've seen, NSC takes longer to ship the cases to NVC), but as of today I don't have a case number yet. They told me the exact same thing, that I have to wait 30 days from the date NVC received it.

Patiently waiting on the case complete.

I also vote for a new thread

Since I've seen how unreliable NVC is, I thought I should confirm if they really did accept my marriage certificate. Called right now and after 50+ minutes of waiting, got to Rick the robot

He gave me the usual 60 day story and said my checklist hadn't been reviewed, I tried to get him to tell me what dates they're working on but he was adamant on his 60 day story.

Anywho, good thing is he confirmed that marriage certificate had been accepted and the only thing remaining is the checklist, for which I should wait at least 60 days from aug 15th before calling and confirming.

....and now it's time to go back to waiting

Am glad your marriage certificate was accepted. I pray your checklist gets reviewed ASAP and you get a CC in 1-2weeks or even sooner. Fingers crossed for you sweetie.

[EOC 440]

Today I received the "60 Day" email in reply to the NVC receipt of my AOS Checklist.

I'd prefer if the letter was more honest and said something like "We are really sorry for the delay...well....not really! Because the people that run this place go home to their families every night so it's all good."

I wanted to add a thanks and shout out to Soloenta, EOC and the others that chimed in with some kind support. It helps more than you know!

I bet they don't know how it feels to be separated from one's spouse, I guess they will appreciate us and act fast if they are in our shoes or have a relative who's going thru what we are going thru.

Thanks for the shout out, we all are blessings to each other. We all have been thru a lot in this process and we understand ourselves more.

Do you know the date it was shipped to NVC? This was what I did, I input my uscis receipt number on the uscis website and it gave me the details of when uscis sent off my case file to NVC. Got approved April 14th, it was shipped April 18th, NVC got it April 30th, case number assigned May 23. So it took 23days to get case number.

Try to get the date on uscis website so you can know the exact date it was shipped {though some have said they didn't get such details on uscis website! But just give it a try}.

Please Don't break down, we all are here for each other. Your case file might be sitting in their mail room waiting to be worked on, You should try to call NVC again on Friday night. Fingers crossed for you sweetie.

Don told my my AOS was accepted, Amanda told me I had CC and it was all a lie. I don't believe a word they say, I can't trust them anymore. God willing this wont happen to anyone else at least any one of us.

Another slow day at the office eh?

It turned out that NVC was working a little bit since I saw two CC (Aug 1 - scan date) on Facebook!

[Soloenta 2,218]

I will go with majority but am happy to leave as one thread. I guess one advantage of having a new thread each month is we can see how long some folk are at NVC for.

I agree, I think most people find it easier also to not have to read all the pages they get over whelmed but I for one really don't care either one way or the other. So far we are on to go to a new Thread each month. Which I pray wont last for ever hahahaa Thank you my dear.

Awww sweet heart your very welcome, we are here for you and I share your sentiment they don't care because their life is in their hands not in a strangers.
