NVC Filers - June 2015

[La Isla Bonita 22]

My case arrived at NVC around the same time. I'm calling for the first time to bug about a case number tonight. If no luck, I'll call again Friday night.

First time I called NVC last June 10 around 7:40a.m. and it just took me 5 minutes to speak with an nvc representative named Arianne. She said our case was received June 4th and I need to call them back after 4 weeks or so.

I called again on the 12th and still the same able to speak with NVC representative within 5 minutes waiting. Her name is Grace and she told me the same date June 4th that my case was received by NVC. But, she told me another info about receiving a welcome letter from NVC on July 9. Have you been told about that guys?

Why wait for that Welcome letter from NVC till July 9th? I will call them again next week.

One thing you will learn on this process with the NVC: ignore all and any time estimates they give you. Things will be done whenever. Phone reps make up estimates, you can call 10 times and get 10 different time estimates. They just want you to stop asking.

I've been waiting for "10 days to fix the website" for nearly 30 days already. If I call now, I will hear another "it will be resolved in 10 days".

Calling them doesn't seem to help. The people answering the phone are not the people processing files.

So what is the specific job of those reps who answers our phone calls?....

Hello VJers

My husband sent I-130 forms and all the supporting documents on June 8th for his parents and he is their only child. Got an email stating that the case was transferred to Nebraska Service Center and we should receive NOA1 in 7-10 days. Is it normal that it gets transferred to Nebraska Service center, do all cases get transferred there or only some? What are some documents that we can collect before APPROVAL. I found a good guide on here what docs r required but i having a hard time finding it now!

Thanks for all your help!

I've not been told anything about a welcome letter... And I've also been told 4 weeks from June 5 both times I've talked to them on the phone. I'm going to keep calling at least once a week.

this thread is for people with already approved I-130s at the nvc stage so people might not be of much help while your waiting . But yes most spouses/parents end up in Nebraska, here's their thread it will be of more help then this one as we all are out of the black whole that is the service centers we were stuck at . http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/482672-all-nebraska-i-130-filers/page-85 Edited June 14, 2015 by Morganalmonshid94

Same here. Received the IV invoice email at 5:30 AM PT. Logged into the portal but the IV payment say $0. I did however, speak with an operator last Thursday who said it can take up to a week after DS-261 is reviewed for the IV payment to be available. Our DS-261 was reviewed on June 9. Going to give it a few more days then call NVC.
