Mystery Mail From NVC

[jle2234 68]

I applied for my IR-1 in August 2016. I submitted just one application.

 

As a Canadian, my information was uploaded to NVC after NOA2. I had my interview in September 2017 and was approved without issue. I crossed POA in September 2017, and have already received both my 10-year green card and my SSN.

 

After receiving NOA2, I never received my package in the mail with my Invoice and Case numbers for NVC upload. My husband and I waited the mandatory 30 days, and then contacted USCIS and received our upload information via email. There were no complications paying, uploading, etc., using the information we received.

 

Yesterday, I received a letter in the mail from NVC. It was addressed to my U.S. address and titled "Notice of Immigrant Visa Case Creation - You May Begin Online Processing". The letter is dated November 20, 2017. It has my NVC login information and instructions to begin the upload process as if my visa interview and approval had never happened.

 

Any idea what is going on? Should I contact NVC, or just chalk it up to an administrative error since I already have my green card?

I received the same letter aswell also dated November 20th but i just had my visa approved at interview on the 17th so it definitely must be an error. I'll call them too and see what they say.

Thanks for this information, @Lasallex. I sent them an email a few days ago and will let you know if I hear back.

@Lasallexand others,

 

Here is the response I received from NVC regarding the mail:

 

We determined that an instruction package was sent to you incorrectly.  Please disregard this instruction package, and do not attempt to contact the US Embassy or Consulate General indicated in the letter.

I received the same on Nov 20 but my interview day is already scheduled i think they just having a long queue for the mail to be dispatched and sent out after they received the case.

The new system only started in May afterall.

I also had received a letter dated November 20, 2017 but my case was complete in September and the interview was scheduled (and subsequently approved) on November 22. Really wish they would get their act together as even the redesigned website at state has now many broken links.

I ended up getting two more copies of the same letter... One to my previous address in Canada and one to my husband's previous address. The strangest thing is that my husband updated his address nearly a year ago, so I'm not even sure how that address is still on their mailing list (considering we also got the letter at the updated address).

Yeah they sent it to all addresses for us to.... Canada and my folks address in the US. Feel lied to almost by the date on the letter... freaked me out because we just had the interview and my folks called saying they got a letter requesting documents haha... nice to know it was just an(other) error from them.
