So I am currently assisting a friend of mine and wanted to obtain some information from the all-knowing VisaJourney members....

I'm a little out of touch seeing as when I went through this process for my K1 it wasn't all automated/electronic submission, so need some help from you guys.

Here is there current situation:

Husband filed petition in late January 2015

Petition has been approved as of July 23, 2015

Received NOA2 early August.

Since then nothing has progressed. NO Case # NO Invoice #.

They have been in contact with both, NVC and USCIS.

NVC has been contacted since the end of August thru the beginning of September. They advised them that their case/file has not been received there. Advised them to email NVCResearch and also to reach out to USCIS. NVCResearch was emailed on 9.9.15 and 9.15.15.

No response from NVCResearch as of yet.

As of September 17, USCiS-Vermont said to give them 30 more days to send their case to NVC.

What other guidance can I give this young couple?

My husband called them like after a month and we got our case number and the other number over the phone and received the letter maybe after a month

Yeah, unfortunately we've been calling for the pass month and they have nothing.
