Congrats to all who have received NOA2's and good luck to those who are still waiting.

We received a a message from USCIS today saying our case was sent to the Department of State for processing. I hope to receive the case # quickly.

congrats

the case reaches NVC within 2-3 weeks

its better to start calling them and asking about the case after two weeks to get the case number and the IIN number

Looki

i don't think you been approved in 4 months is a problem.....

I was approved in 2 months 10 days (70 days)

you should try calling NVC tomorrow April 26 to asked whether they received your case and

called again may 2 or 3 for your case number and invoice number...

this should work if your case was send to NVC the day it was approved.

Unlike mine which took 2 weeks before it was sent to NVC ( Approved march 8 and send march 21)

NVC received it a week after (march 28 2016) I called and was told they received it on this date

my case was assigned a number April 4, 2016

I Call April 5 2016 and got my case number and invoice number

so just call and it wont create a problem ... I call them when I want to make an inquiry about my case and they always answer...

Hi Restrion, wow your case was approved in 70 days! Ok but now I am curious, excuse me in case you told me already were you and your husband living abroad when you filed the petition?

Actually we did not want to get the NOA2 so quickly! We want the interview after we have been married over 2 years, so she will get the IR-1 visa. Also she planned to take a class in UK that lasts 3 months.

So in any case I am not in a real hurry to call NVC just yet. Yes NVC is quite easy to talk to.

But having your case approved in 4 months at the Texas Service center where they are taking about 5+ months is unusual. Its like cutting into a queue of people waiting. It doesn't happen normally like that. The process is mostly first come, first serve. Unless your case is expedited, or you are filing from abroad while both living abroad.

But thanks, I will check soon, I'm not quite ready to start all that NVC work yet.

NVC has to do some processing of the case before it gets put into there system. It'll be in their system soon. Personally I wouldn't call every day, thats a recipe for frustration!

Well it could be that USCIS has 2 different batch processes one for sending info electronically to NVC and one for setting up your NOA2. Maybe the batch that sends to NVC got processed before the NOA2 batch, who knows?.

yeah maybe

i will call them next week to check again and reconfirm the April 18th NVC case received date

I just spoke to NVC just now and my case hasn't arrived yet. This is crazy. I think its being delayed on purpose. Other Centers sent theirs within 2 weeks. Its been 23 days now. Damn

Any luck with NVC? My NOA2 was March 30th and called up NVC yesterday, they say that my case has not yet arrived from USCIS.

That is pretty bad when it gets nearly a month since NOA2. USCIS does say wait 30 days, but still thats kind of extreme. If it goes beyond that, you might want to get an NVCResearch request in to them. You never know sometimes they may be doing some extra processing, or something. The last resort is to get your congressmen involved, but hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Yes I hope it does not come to me contacting the congressman. I will wait out another week and see. Another assuring thing is that people who got approved around my date from CSC are also in the same boat. So i hope its just a delay from CSC in sending our packets to NVC.

Well thats good, I don't know also whether these days with all the crazy things going on in the world NVC might be required to do a bit more checks,

Same here. I called today and they received my case April 18, but could not give me a case number or any information. I was told they are still entering the data and have up to 42 days to get the information to you. I wanted to go ahead and give the agent information and pay,, but dang they are slow

[Mkatel0317 1]

I just call the nvc... The still didn't receive my case... What's a long. My case was approved on April 05, is almost 21 days now, but...
