we were approved but...

[__immigrant__ 58]

It's been 15 days since we were approved but our petition hasn't been received by the NVC and we don't even know if it was sent by the USCIS.

When should we contact the NVC? It's a silly question but I looked it up it took them 5-6 months for some people. Is this right?

Hi ,you can call NVC and they will let you know.  603 -334-0700 they are open 7am-12 midnight.

It took like 3 weeks for mine last year and then another week or so before it left to go to the Embassy. 

 

Sometimes things take longer than they estimate when they tell you.

 

Hang in there, it's enroute:-)

we called them and they told us to wait

My case stayed at USCIS for a month before they sent it to NVC and after NVC received my case I had to wait another week to get a case number and invoice number so just keep calling NVC everyday until they give you a case number.

Sometimes USCIS takes so long to send the documents over , keep calling until you get your case# .

Ours took just over 6 weeks for a case number to be assigned.  Put NVC in your "favorites" list on your phone and call them daily.  They won't investigate until 6 weeks have passed.  At that time, you can put in a service request.  Hopefully, it won't take that long for you!
