NVC Filers - October 2016

You can either wait for the checklist which you will get or you can send those items with your case number on it and let nvc know.

You have to send your marriage certificate if applying for spouse and your birth only to prove you are us citizen

It is not a correct statement that you need to send the petitioner's birth certificate. The IV package is about the beneficiary, not the petitioner. The US Citizenship has been established when USCIS approved the I-130. The birth certificate is required for the beneficiary.

The US citizen thing is for aos. I sent mine just in case.

I got my welcome letter early this morning. I already paid the AOS fee and submitted the DS-261. I also just called and the operartor processed it over the phone.

I'm trying to speed up this process as much as possible. Can't wait to pay the IV fee and get the new police report from my husband to send the documents package to NVC.

I'm trusting God that we will be together before the end of the year.

Just got word that the NVC has received my case! Now, hopefully they'll get it in their system soon so we can get this show on the road! NOA-2 -> NVC Received took 34 days.

Just received a response from NVC that they accepted our request to expedite. So now, from here I'm just wondering what could be next.

Hi jriguql when was your case number assigned? Mine was assigned on Oct3 and I'm waiting on the welcome email. I got my invoice number and case number on the phone but no welcome email yet.

wait so you waited 9 weeks from your second scan date to receive your CC???

Yes! I didn't called NVC when it was my 6 week because i didn't wanted supervisor review and wait 6 more weeks! I called today and yes, is confirmed, CC!

Hahaha, It still gets me every time when the music stops and it goes back to the loop of the man saying that all of the lines are busy. I always jump and suddenly think someone's about to answer. I feel like it's too early for me to start calling, as it's only just been 2 weeks, but what exactly are you going to ask them? Just has somebody reviewed the documents yet?

Hi,

I Wonder how you were able to tell that USCIS Mailed Petition to NVC - July 27th 2016??

Hi,

In the USCIS Case Status it will show Case Sent to Department of State on a specific date. This is after the Approved status.

In the USCIS Case Status it will show Case Sent to Department of State on a specific date. This is after the Approved status.

My question is does it change the status on the USCIS website for everyone that it was sent to the Department of State because I thought that some people didn't update it however NVC got it?

What is the soonest that anyone has seen NVC received your i-130 do we truly have to wait that 6 weeks

[JFH 12,190]

Mine updated but lots of people say theirs didn't ever update. There was someone who posted to say his wife has been in the USA for a year now and it still shows "case was approved". Theirs never updated to say "sent to department of state".

That's what others are saying that their case actually never changed from Approval so we cannot say for sure that all are having updates. Mine was Approved July 6 status changed on July 13th saying Case Sent. Called NVC a week later July 18 they have confirmed receipt. August 3 got my case number thru phone.

It all depends. My case was approved Aug 15 but was sent to NVC on Sept 1. It wasn't until Sept 23, and after many phona calls, that NVC said they has received my case. I just got my case number and my invoice ID number Oct 3. You just have to be ready for NVC processing so you can speed up the process as much as you can.

It does not change the status on the USCIS website for everyone. I checked with some people here on VJ. The soonest I have seen someone posted that NVC received their file was 4 days. When I call NVC, the status quo is that "it can take up to 6 weeks to receive the file from USCIS". I have noticed on VJ many people show NVC received their file 2-3 weeks after I-130 approval by USCIS.
