TSC JULY 2014 FILERS - NOA2 APPROVALS

[LoveinGhana! 55]

15 days for us - depends on your country... Countries that get more cases get batched and sent every couple of weeks. Countries with mail issues are sent via DHL others are sent regular mail... Like so many things post USCIS it varies. You're nearly there!

There are not many cases that go to Ghana. When it does get sent from my understanding it's sent DHL.

That's great - so when it gets sent it will be quick!!

OMG...I just sent you a message to see if you had any changes.

My case is still "At NVC" I called the first of the week and they couldn't tell me anything either about when it may be shipped.

From what I have seen the average (normal) is around 6 days

Lol. I saw the message and figured you must have seen my post by now. Let's wait and pray. Good luck.

Hi guys.. how did you get you number from NVC?.. just call them? (and wait a long time)

[t0m 1]

I'm losing it... We are both panicking. Still no appointments available for K-1 interviews, and now this today:

http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/28/americas/venezuela-us-pilot/

"Speaking at an "anti-imperialist" rally in the capital, Maduro said visas would now be required for all U.S. visitors and that the U.S. Embassy in Caracas would now need foreign ministry approval for any meetings. The Embassy, which he said had more than 100 staff, is to be reduced to a number closer to the 17 Venezuelan diplomats based in Washington."

Yes just call them in about a week or so and see if your case has been received. It took mine two weeks. You may have to call and call to get through. You may have a little wait once you get through. But you will get your answer. It's not like USCIS. lol

Thank you LoveinGhana.... I have to get my head around a whole new set of rules now. I guess they wont talk to the beneficiary so I'll have to get my fiance to call and he works long hours so is always time poor. Do we need to contact them or do things take their course anyway? Do they just give it a number and forward it to the embassy or do we need to be involved in order to track our case. I would prefer to know where it is but just trying to be practical because I know he doesn't get time to sit on a call for 30 - 45 mins (or more) waiting. If I am allowed to call that would be ok

Isn't it a great feeling to be on this side of the process! lol. It will go much faster now.

This is what they do at NVC. Once they receive your case they will assign a case number normally in one or two days. Give them at least a week from when it left USCIS then start calling them. Once you have that case number you can go to https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx put in immigrant visa.....type in your case number. You can monitor when your case leaves NVC. It can take maybe 5-15 days. Once you get your case number and you go to CEAC to check your status it will say "AT NVC" the next step it will say "In Transit" meaning they have sent it to the embassy. "Ready" means it's arrived at the Embassy.

NVC has had my case since Feb 17th. It's still there, but should go out this week I hope.

When you call and you get that message.....all current reps are busy with other customers...hang up and redial...keep doing that until you get through. You have to stay on hold because there is no call back at NVC. I am not sure if the beneficiary can get information or not, but you can call and see what they tell you.

Good luck, folks...those of y'all who haven't got your case # , keep calling...also, the petitioner will receive notification in the mail when your case is sent to the embassy..just in case you couldn't get through nvc phone line...good luck, once again

I believe either beneficiary OR the petitioner can now call to get your status. Good luck.

First I want to say that my english is not so good.I'm happy for you all you are approved :-) We have our NOA1 since 18 July and we are still waiting.I hope so much the next step is coming soon.I don't understand why not and we are very sad.I have enough of the time to wait and don't know why we are must still waiting and hear nothing from the TCS...

My fiance sent only the i-129f without pictures or other things.Was it not enough ? I'm not sure if this question is right here on this topic but I try it...we are desperate and sad

I'm sorry when I'm wrong here in this topic but I don't know what can we do now...

[TabeaK 517]

Litisa, has your fiance tried calling USCIS? If you haven't heard something by the next update of the USCIS processing times mid March you will hopefully be able to file a Service Request as you should be outside of normal processing times (assuming they advance from the current June 25th to July 25th).
