Very happy for those who get approved so quick but is a lil unfair how many people have to wait months to get approved.

We filed at the beginning of the month through the Chicago office. It took about a week but it was received and approved and is now on its way to the California office.

We got the NOA2 on 04/06

And are now waiting for the transfer to USCIS, the case is still at NSC

Did any of you had a success to get the case 'pushed' over to NVC?

Or, what was the average for the status to change from APPROVED to SET TO DEPARTMENT OF STATE?

TIA

No need to wait! Just use a copy of the NVC welcome letter cover sheet. A scanned copy to your husband will work fine. Just make sure the bar code is clear. It's that bar code that identifies your case. Good luck! :star:

as DKNC pointed out yes you can use a scan copy of the welcome letter or you can use the AOS document sheet either one is ok as they both have the barcode. you do not have to wait for the IV cover sheet

Thank you for your responses DKNC and j&ana :thumbs:

ayumi1486 - I understand the impatience! I called today, but the recording told me to call back later because of the high volume of calls.

I'm excited for you! Your NOA2 is only one day before mine, so maybe my case was received as well! My plan is to call again on Friday. I'll try calling around the same time of day that you called.

Hi kkg325,

Thank you! Did you received a notification from USCIS that your case was sent to NVC? Mine was on 4/8. If not, no need to worry as not everyone gets notified when USCIS sent your case out.

Mine took about 8 days from NOA2 to Sent to NVC (3/30-4/8). But I read that some people do not get notified when USCIS sent your case out.

ayumi1486 - I got my NOA2 on 3/31 and got notification that my case was sent to NVC on 4/10. I didn't get notification via email or text for either of these updates, I only knew because I have been checking my case status on the website. I did receive my NOA2 in the mail though.

1stloverodeo - It looks like it's taking about 10 days to go from Approved to Sent to NVC.

I can't wait to get my case number! Based on others' timelines, it looks like I should be getting it this week or early next week. I will call them on Monday. I like how this part of the process has shorter wait times.

Hey guys, just an update: I called NVC today to se if I could ge my case number. She said that they received my case on April 16 (which was my birthday btw :goofy: ). They do not have my case number yet. She said call back next week or the following week and maybe they will have my case number. Se also said it takes 4 weeks for the case to be processed and put into the system. What does it mean "put in the system"?

Called NVC today and waited about 3 min - Got case # and Invoice ID! The lady was very nice and said with the invoice ID I can go ahead and pay for the AOS fee! Package sent yesterday to my U.S. address.

I think NVC is on fire :secret:

Finally... the good news after 47 minutes of wait.. we got our invoice number. :)

tried login but cant select anything...

Hello, maybe give the system some time? With my case and invoice number I was able to log in on the website to pay the AOS fee and fill out DS-261 form.
