Service Center to NVC

[ccastell 0]

Hi all,

I received my NOA2 on Sept. 10 and according to the USCIS webpage, my case was sent to the Dept. of State on Sept. 18. I called the NVC a week ago and was told to call back beginning of November (due to estimated wait times of 35 days to receive cases and assign case numbers) for my case number. I called again today (Nov. 5) and they told me they have not received my case and to email them to 'research' why my petition has not been received.

On a whim, I also called the TSC to see if they had any additionally info. The confirmed they sent my case to the Dept. of State, but they also told me that the case goes first to the Dept. of State before being sent onto the NVC. (I had no idea - I thought they were the same thing). The TSC operator told me to visit the Dept. of State website for contact info but I can't seem to find any contact info other than for the NCV which I've already called.

Does anyone have any insight?? At the rate this process is going, its going to be two years before my husband gets his green card!

They have taken way too long to send your case to the NVC and assign a case number. This is kind of a blackhole because since you do not have a case number at the NVC, they are not making any effort to track it.

If I were you, I would call the USCIS again and ask to talk to a Tier 2 supervisor. They usually can push the NVC a bit. You can also try contact your senator/congressman. They are usually very helpful in cases like this.
