NVC----No Record of receiving

[LovinLiberia 0]

Congrats to the OP, I know you must be overjoyed about this next step in your process. Good luck!

First, for K-1 visas, do not bother with the automated system. They do not put our status on there, so it will always say that the NVC has no record of your application. You have to talk to an operator to actually find anything out. Most people should find out within a month that their approved petition was received and then forwarded to the US Embassy. If that's the case, get your NVC case number and ask what day it was sent. This will help you find out if the US Embassy has received the file or not. In my case, my fiancee was able to use the case number to pick up her Packet 3 and Packet 4 materials directly from the Embassy.

Second, if it has been more than six weeks and the NVC still hasn't received your approved petition. They'll probably just tell you to contact USCIS, and USCIS will give you the run around. You might eventually get them to put a trace on your petition through your service center, but then they'll tell you that it will be up to 45 days before you hear anything. What you should do after six weeks is contact your congressmen and get them involved. You'll probably find that your case gets a touch and within a couple days is back on track for processing at the NVC. This is what happened to me.

It would be nice to know what info was given in order to see if the NVC received their application. I recently received via e-mail my NOA2, but haven't received my official copy via snail mail. I am preparing for the next steps to take and do read these threads and try to offer advice whenever I can help.

Respectfully,

following is pulled off from the guide in visajourney.com. I tried to call them. just like other said, you have to talk to a live person to find out your case. mine has been over 6 weeks, but still no answer. hope you all good luck

"Two weeks after you receive the NOA2 you can contact the NVC to see if they have received your approved I-129F. You can contact them at 603 334-0700. Their homepage is here. Welcome to the US Department of State! Things move much faster now .

MMARLO,

I have been waiting for 6 weeks already and getting very nervous about it. I called them today and they said it's been processed at washington and waiting for a response. they do have a case number for me though, How do you determine if the case has been screwed up. I don't wanna to bother the congressman until it's necessary.

Thanks

I don't understand what you mean when you say "it's been processed at washington". The NVC is in New Hampshire. I don't know what Washington has to do with it. If you were given a new NVC case number that is good; it means the NVC has at least done the initial processing on the petition. So then the question is why it hasn't been sent on to the US Embassy yet. I hope you are not under administrative review. If it is, you could be in for a long wait, and you should get your congressman involved. Did they say when the NVC received your approved petition? I hope it won't be long for you! Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. they told me that some department in Washington is checking it as well, I don't know why, but she said it's for the new homeland security regulations for something. my cases was recieved on 2/2/2007. and the person did tell me that it is under ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW. what exactly does it mean, can you please explain?????? thank you

Basically, it's a background check. Might only take a couple weeks, but sometimes it takes longer. Do some searches of the forums, and you can get more information.

You can email NVC or do what I did! Call their number....603-334-0700...Follow the instructions to talk with a live person...The will ask for the Receipt# and will ask for your finance/financee birthdate... They will tell you if it has been sent out and then will give you the case number.....I had called because I haven't heard anything..I was suprised to find out that the Petition had already been sent out to Manila that day2/28/07.. You can call them late into the evening, so hang on if your on hold... Hope this helps.... Danny

I called couple of times already and also got the NVC case number, but I guess I will have to go through the administrative review, oh god..... I just can't believe this. after reading all the post about AR, I am just deperessed to death, after the long waiting NOA2, now is the administrative review, when will that end?????????????????????? f***

[Turboguy 6]

Well I just called an my case is also in Washington for Administative reveiw. Damnnnnn. Well I am almost at 6 weeks since my noa2 I sure hope it does not drag on forever.

Well gonna go see if I can find some threads where others have gone through it. It would be sort of interesting to see what common things those who get administrative review have. I am wondering if it might be because it is my fiancee's 2nd K-1 (not for the same applicant) She stayed 30 days on the first.

[mmarlo 1]

Sorry guys about AR. Good luck; it's probably time to get your congressmen involved.
