bandi77, this is the advice I gave to someone else and it worked for them: Hmm.. The first time I put in a service request, I told the tier 1 person that it had been more than 30 days and that NVC ha

Thank you for the encouragement! I'll keep trying. I consistently get the feeling from the uscis that they would make up a story on the spot to make me go away. It feels like a game of wills to see ju

Thought I'd drop by with an update on our case. As a recap, we're August 15 filers through the CSC with a NOA2 date of October 2, and to date, the NVC has not yet received our petition. I've contacte

I received my NOA2 9/15 and the petition was shipped 9/25. I called the NVC this morning. They don't have it and told me that I need to wait 4 weeks of it to get there. Is this normal???? I feel like it's travelling from Texas to NH by horse and buggy?

Where do you go to find out when your file was shipped to NVC? My NOA2 was 10/1 and I've been calling NVC since and each time I called, NVC said they don't have my file yet. I'm reading the post in here and alot of people with NOA2 around my date and after has received their case number from NVC. Please let me know where to go to find out the shipped date.

You need your case # from NVC before you can find out when it shipped. They say it can take 4-5 weeks for them to assign a case # although it's usually more quickly. Once you get your case #, you can log into the CEAC site to see where your application is in their process. (Mine took just over 3 weeks and yours will be three weeks on Wed so you are still in a good place. :))

https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx

It will eventually tell you it is "In Transit" and you can go onto DHL and put in that info and the country (or just wait a couple of days :)) to find out when it shipped and was received at the Embassy.

But to do any of the above, you need a case # from NVC.

Thank you!!! Uummmm TOMORROW!!!!, also check CEAC if status update date has changed this means your file was entered into their system. In my case this happened last week Thursday. So I couldn't contain myself today when I started to view the updates in the VJ timelines for DR And noticed new December interview dates, which was not the case last week. Sure enough, I got my date!!!

Good luck to you and definitely call tomorrow!

Actually it's not a thread, go to VJ Immigration Time Lines, then click on K1 visas Time Line, set your filters, keep "all" on the first two then select your country. You will see a spread of VJ members petitioning for Visas in DR with their time lines from NOA1 to Interview date

Hope this is helpful

PS: I personally prefer calling, you get immediate answers

Where do you go to find out when your file was shipped to NVC? My NOA2 was 10/1 and I've been calling NVC since and each time I called, NVC said they don't have my file yet. I'm reading the post in here and alot of people with NOA2 around my date and after has received their case number from NVC. Please let me know where to go to find out the shipped date.

I was notified by the USCIS when the file shipped, which was 10 days after NOA2. I got a text, email, and a letter in the mail. When I called the NVC, they kept telling me 25 business days but it didn't take that long at all. The case was actually received by the consulate 1 month and 1 day after NOA2. Hope that helps!
