NOA2 to NVC

[Tiksman 0]

Just checked the automated system and they STILL have no record of my receipt number (NOA2 March 6th).

You cannot do the auto response on a k1 you must call or email

Yep, I just received an e-mail reply (I sent an inquiry last week) with my case#. I then tried to use the auto system and they had no record.

K1 - K3 cases have a very short stay at NVC, so you must talk to the NVC operator to find out the case# and when it will be transferred.

Hope this helps you!

Hey, how did you guys track the progress? When I talked to the lady I asked when they received it and all she knew was "recently." I also asked if I would be able to track the package to Bogota and she told me I'd have to call the embassy.

Have you checked your status with NVC operator or NVC automated system? For k1 & k3 cases, you must talk to the operator to find out details about the case number.

Once they send the case to embassy, you can track it via DHL.com.

Track by reference using one of these references

1) I-730

2) expedite niv section

3) expedite iv section

4) correnspondence

Or you can send an email to embassy.

ive called the nvc every day for the past 2 weeks... our approval notice was mailed on 2/28 and i got it on 3/6 in mymailbox...

and an nvc operator says to allow up to 90 days... and i havent seen a single person here for whom it took that long to issue a case #!!!!!

and btw, ive never experieced automation with the NVC. ive only gotten humans... who say to wait...

and i even called the dept of state- who said they cant do nothing till the nvc issues a case #.....

what todo.....what to do

Hey thats cool Dennis - speedy interview hopefully for Tik!

Auto-phone line still has no record of us yet

DId you get email from NVC stating it left already..or what?

I called USCIS today and asked how they sent the petitions. The guy said that it is sent the day it is approved, not in batches. I told him I knew of others approved after me who were already through the NVC and on their way to the embassy and he said, "Well it can take the system up to 90 days to update." That doesn't make any sense. If mine was sent the day it was approved then why are those after me already on their way to their embassy and the NVC still has no sign of mine?

P.S. I'm not mad at those who are already on their way to the embassy, I'm mad at the INS. GRRR@them not being more streamlined.

Annn, I sent an e-mail to NVCInquiry@state.gov and they replied with my case#. I then called and talked to a real person and they had the case# as well. Once I updated my timeline signature, it showed up on my previous post.

Just called NVC and the package was sent to Bogota yesterday. Woohoo!!
