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

Thanks for your answer. Do you think I should call DOS, too? How about you? Did you keep going on calling NVC everyday?

only NVC to ring and the tier 2 USCIS if your waiting over the expected time. You are still in that time frame so not much extra help will come yet. They said to us at least 30days and have said to others more the 30days from reading this thread. People have rang everyday and there is no point in doing so, my only concern with ringing everyday is you will just stress yourself out. Maybe every 2-3 is OK.

NVC hasnt received my paper and they requested me to send scanning paper of approved notice to their email. I'd like to know can beneficiary send this email or petitioner send? And After sending this email I can make online service request in USCIS website or not?

I'd presume petitioner would send scan as they would have been the ones to receive hard copy etc. But I'm sure if the email body has both P&B names, USCIS number and scan it wouldn't matter which email account it came from.

Personally u would send email and then leave it a couple of days then ring NVC again and if still nothing then I would contact USCIS. As NVC request you to do so and would give them a chance to do what ever it us they need to do once email is received.

1. It really doesn't matter as long as you include a copy of the NOA2. The petitioner would probably be a safer bet though.

2. Yes, you can still make a service request wiith USCIS. I would. NVC won't get back to you anytime soon. I sent a scanned copy over a month ago and have yet to hear from NVC.

I'd presume petitioner would send scan as they would have been the ones to receive hard copy etc. But I'm sure if the email body has both P&B names, USCIS number and scan it wouldn't matter which email account it came from.

LOL, you give NVC more credit than you should. There is no way they're replying to her email in a couple days. A week would be amazing.

I didn't say they would contact her, I said send email and then them to ring NVC in a couple of days. My reason for this was not to wait for them but to give them time to receive it etc.

Is the NVC better or worst than USCIS ? I was under the impression that waiting for NOA2 was a long waiting period and things would move quickly after NOA2, considering that my NOA2 was approved within 32 days, now I am on 16 days after NOA2 and no case number yet and some of you guys are before me and do not have case number. I did not think the NVC was this slow....of course nothing we can do ,just wait, the good things is I am ready with all the papers just waiting for case number, I hope we do not get it by black Friday in the morning around 3:00 A.M. :oops:

While I cant confirm it yet, I think our problem is USCIS, not NVC. NVC is generally better than USCIS. I'm pretty sure USCIS simply hasn't mailed my petition on to NVC. A couple others on this board have been told that by USCIS. Not sure how the heck they just sit on the approved petitions like that. Unfortunately it is a CSC thing, doesn't seem to happen at TSC.

Edited to add: I wouldn't get worried yet if I were you. Once it passes the 1 month mark, then you should start to get nervous :)

My fiancé has been trying to call for the past couple of days, several times and in different times (all working hours according to the website) and all he gets is a busy signal. Is that how it is? Would we get the case number any way else, like mailed to him (the petitioner) like the noas?

We got approved on Nov 3rd and according to the USCIS website the process was forwarded to the NVC on Nov 10th (Monday). USCIS won't give us more updates now that the process moved to the NVC, correct? Or should I keep checking their website for updates?
