No, but I wasn't expecting to. I thought they send a letter snail mail, so I would have to proactively call to know more. Maybe I am wrong though.

Please let me know if you find out anything. And, yes, I think there's a letter. But I'm also not 100% sure.

I will definitely update the group each step of the way and share any information that may be helpful. I was planning to do my first NVC call (at least after approval), tomorrow.

Sounds like a plan. 😊 We are also going to keep calling each morning till we get some news!!! Bug them all the time so they might just process it real quick. 😁😂

Yes, there is a letter. We got ours but I forgot what day. May be somewhere in my timeline, if not- for sure it came before embassy got our petition.

Yeah, I'm still on 138.

This is ridiculous!!!!

While I am grateful that I have received my NOA2 - took 99 days from NOA1 to be exact it is ridiculous that uscis has some folks waiting for over 120 days and nothing!!!

One would think that they all would be working on cases with a certain received date and after they have seen all those, they would move on to the next date so that some folks won't be left wondering is their file/ case got lost, is being ignored or accidentally ended up in the trash. 

 

One thing is clear, uscis is not organized and nothing seem to be done in a systematic way. I was told by one of their rep that this is a first come first serve process. ......but clearly this is not the case. 

 

To those who are still waiting on NOA 2 l feel your frustration too because it could have been me.

Hang tight, hopefully it won't be long.

Wow...our case was stuck at the NVC for over a month. NOA2 was May 11 and we just got our case number today. And I can't even believe it but now it's already in transit. 

 

Still I have a question....The note below the "In Transit" status says:

 

- Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center. -

 

What does that mean? The interview date was provided where? Will we get an email oder a letter from NVC? I thought that the interview will be scheduled at the embassy?! I'm so confused!   

 

Thank you...

Our case was also received June 3rd, and we are yet to get our case number. We've been told our case is being processed electronically which may be part of the delay, but just a heads up that it can actually take the amount of time they quote you. There are quite a few who are waiting a long time for their case numbers, but hopefully yours will be quicker.

Did you already call NVC today? We got our case number just this morning. I bet you will get yours also today since we have the same received date. 😉

Yeah, we called a short while ago and they said they haven't done the number yet but it should be some time later today. 

 

I notice you are also going through Frankfurt. It's listed as one of the embassies that can handle electronic processing for CR-1 visas, and now seems to be on a trial for the electronic transfer of K1 petitions too. NVC told us today our case was being sent to Frankfurt digitally, and my understanding is that the message you received is what Cr-1 applicants who go through Frankfurt get (Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center).   

 

In their case, they submit their docs to NVC and are given a Frankfurt appointment accordingly. My guess is that they're just sending the same message to all electronically processed Frankfurt applicants, even if you still have to wait for packet 3 and schedule your own appt. Hope this helps.. we're gonna call NVC again later on. My medical is in Berlin on Wednesday and I had to wait a month for the appointment so here's hoping we get it soon!

I will do, I literally just put our experience with uscis, how they have blatantly lied on the phone to us and also the app and website not being updated. I mentioned that several people in March are now being approved and that there doesn't seem to be a logical order that they are approving the cases etc... 

 

I asked my fiance to find out who the congressman was in his area and we sent it to him via email.

Awesome! Thank you. This helps a lot. 👌🏼

 

I really hope that your case number will be assigned today. Anyways, ask to speak to the supervisor since you passed the 2 weeks mark. Good luck and fingers crossed!!

Everything you sent to USCIS is forwarded to the embassy with your petition. So there's no need to double-up.

Thank you.

Hi Guys!

Is somebody from Feb fillers still waiting?

We are on our 131 day, it becomes frustrating  

Yes...

NOA1 date 2/6

Sent an inquiry request to my congressman today....

[Lovemycroatianman 278]

You guys are doing it the long way honestly...unless your congressman doesn't want to be bothered...according to what I saw you can just call in....or...what I did was went to their website...sent a contact email...I got sent an automatic response that said if its an immigration issue to just call ...from there I got emailed the inquiry form and they faxed it to uscis next day....easy peasy...I honestly think I over explained...they hear this stuff all day...she just wanted to send the form and handle it...lol
