NVC

[helzie 0]

Our application was approved on 5th February 2007. The National Visa Center has not received the application yet. How long does it take to go from California to New Hampshire?? I have checked the timelines and have found the average is 1-2 weeks. Should I worry yet? Has anyone else waited 2+ weeks for the apprved application to be received by NVC?

Also, how do I know thy have received the application, other than calling, which I have been doing everyday. Do they email or send a letter?

Since you are doing a K3, which application was approved? Was it the I-130 or the I129F? If it's the I129F you'll have to call NVC and speak to a live person to get status on your case as the automated system does not update I-129F cases. If it was the I-130 your case should be reflected in the automated system. Typically the system is updated every Tuesday. So I would wait until next Tuesday before making any additional inquires

Now, that is very weird. I just called NVC and they told me they received the I129 but not the I130. They were both approved on the same day. They have since forwarded the I129 to London. I have rung the Embassy, but they have no record of it yet, but it was only sent on 15th February.

Actually it makes total sense that they have not received the I130, the USCIS new streamlining policy means that if both the I130 and I129F are approved, USCIS will retain the I130 because they assume that the beneficiary will enter on a K3 visa and then adjust status.

Good luck with the rest of the process!
