I'm getting nervous here because our case arrived at the embassy as per DHL tracking yesterday (around lunchtime), and yet, the embassy has obviously not yet scanned our file into the system (CEAC status hasn't change from "in transit" to "ready" yet). Now, granted, this is most likely also due to Easter being a 4 day weekend (Friday and Monday are public holidays) in Switzerland, but I would still like to see some movement, especially because we're hitting the home stretch... And a small part of me is terrified that something has gone wrong (completely irrational, I know). But oh well. I've been getting more and more impatient here over the past year. Also, I know my complaints lack real ground for complaint, and yet, I also know how you guys understand. Thanks for "listening"; sometimes, it helps to just get it out there... 

 

Have an awesome day everybody. To our visa approvals and issuances

I would send them (the embassy) an e-mail and ask about the next step. I am sure everything is fine

Sorry for late respond. I was travelling and didnt have wifi. I sent the packet with: ds160 confirmation page (1 first page), 2 passport style photos, and copy of my passport with the information, and stamps or visa pages of the countries I have been visited. And send it to the Us consular in HCM city.

Good morning.  Could somewhere clear up for me which number to call in order to receive our case number from NVC after NOA2?  Do we call the 603-334-0888 for non-immigrant visas or the 603-334-0700 for immigrant visas?  I have people say both so I am a little confused on this.  Thanks in advance!

Thank you.  I called the other one and they just said they don't have it.  Then I started questioning if I had the right number or not.  I will try that one.  Thanks

It actually doesn't matter. I called both numbers alternatively; your case can be accessed by employees answering either line. I was told by a lady on the non-immigrant line that my case had arrived there, but there was no case-# yet, and on the following day, I called the immigrant line, where I was given my case-#. I even asked if it was okay to call either line for K1, and they said yes.

Thank you.  That is good to know.    I will probably do the same.  They have been pleasant so far which is good.  I can only imagine how many calls they get every day asking the same question. lol.

Hi everyone again, I know I have alot of questions. 

 

I've been calling the NVC couple weeks back to see if they have received our case from USCIS. I called today and they still haven't. It's been almost a month since we got approved. I called USCIS yesterday and they said they already forwarded my case on the same day they approved it. However, the guy at NVC today asked me to take a look at my approval notice. I noticed that USCIS doesn't mention anything about forwarding the case to NVC, but to the listed consulate instead. The guy at NVC even said this is weird and he thought that it came to the NVC first. 

 

Now, I already asked my fiancee to check with the embassy tomorrow (its midnight in Vietnam now). Has anyone experienced this situation or known anyone experienced this situation before?

 

Thanks

I have the same exact notice with the difference that mine does mention the consulate.  I called NVC today and I was told they have not received my case.  We were approved on 03-29-17.  The lady assured me that even though my letter did not mention being sent to NVC, it will still go there because they are not sent directly to the consulates.  She told me to keep calling because it usually takes 6 weeks for them to get the cases from USCIS.  This is so frustrating.

Hi! 

We have the same Noa2. It is also mentioned that it will be forwarded to the listed consulate. 

 

We are planning to call NVC on Friday since it will be the 2nd week from our approval date. 

 

Anyone else got the same Noa2? 

Yes, we got the same one.  We were approved on 03-29-17.  I called NVC just now, the lady said they have not received my case and it will take like 6 weeks.  She also said that even though the letter does mention that it will be forwarded to the listed consulate, it does still have to go through them.  So, I don't know what to think.

I checked this old thread from 2011 and this person seemed to get in the same situation as me. However, everyone in the thread replied that it is impossible for a case to go straight to the consulate without going through NVC to get a case-number assigned to it. The OP of the thread also stated that he confirmed with a NVC rep that he was on the phone with about the possibility of a case going straight to the consulate instead of NVC and the rep said yes. The thread was practically closed with the OP saying they got their case number without stating how. 

I calle NVC twice this morning, the first time was to the immigrant visa line and the guy told me that it could go directly to the consulate.  I wasn't sure his answer was right because the consulate in Costa Rica told me something different.  So, I called NVC again, this time to the nonimmigrant visa line, the lady confirmed that my case is not there yet, we were approved on 03-29-17, but she stated that the information I was given the first time was wrong.  That even though my NOA2 does not state that is going to NVC, it still will, because they do not send cases directly to the consulates.  She was nice even though I asked her the same questions more than once.  She just advised me to keep calling.  I don't really know what else to do.  Any suggestions?

After days of researching the situation, every cases actually has to go through NVC because they do not send cases to consulates directly. That said, I still haven't got my case number yet as I just called this morning. 

 

I would suggest calling everyday, and pray.

Thank you for your response.  May I ask how long have you been waiting since you received your NOA2?
