I-129F MAY FILERS PART 2

[heartinKorea 175]

@HuckleberryFinn I think the email may be more reliable than what they're saying. If they sent it yesterday then it should arrive next week! Based on the people whose petitions reached NVC today, it takes about 5 business days to reach NVC once it's actually in the mail. You will get it soon!

Thank u soooo much! Ur so awesome!

By the way you dont know how much of a life saver you were during the wait for our Noa2, me and my fiance both have anxiety issues and yoir scans are what helped us survive the awful waiting game. So yeah, MARAMING SALAMAT PO from the bottom of our hearts - James and April

I hope so! I told my fiance to call on Monday, then he reminded me that's Christmas day.... We will call Tuesday

You know what's crazy....I think you and I are gonna get approved at the same time. Just looking at our timelines and the dates being so close together and of course we're both filing for a JA fiancé, I just have this feeling that we will both get our NOA2s at the same time.

 

I just can't tell you when that time will be.

I think the same officer has our petitions on his desk. Hopefully any day now he'll approve those bad boys lol

[heartinKorea 175]

Lol guys I'm trying not to let it rain on my parade but I got a pretty annoying reply from my congressman's office just now. She emailed me at 3 pm and said "the NVC does not have a record of your case", but in the email response she received from NVC they had my fiance's name completely wrong with his last name as his first name, and my last name as his last name , so I ignored that and just replied to her that I just found out from NVC that they did in fact receive my case, and that now I'm just waiting for a case number, and she said this: 

 

"Allow me to caution you about contacting DHS too many times. When inquiries come in they have to pause processing, review the case and provide a reply. This delays the processing time. I know you are anxious but calling daily or multiple times a day and checking the on line status that is often not updated is frustrating to you as the petitioner. This is a lengthy process and you have to allow the system to work. When things have gone extraordinarily over time is when I would suggest you should try to get case updates. At this point I would suggest that you wait at least 30 working days for the office NVC to assign your case and the agent to actually process your case. If you do not hear back in that time feel free to contact me.  Also be advised, we are in the holiday season and the center will be closed several calendar days.  "

 

Note that she said DHS?! I'm like LOL well NVC isn't part of DHS so....... Also do NOT lecture me about this being a "lengthy process" and suggest that things haven't yet gone "extraordinarily over time". Hopefully everything will go smoothly from here on out so I don't have to talk to her again.

Hi all,

 

Just a quick update: I waited a little over 6 weeks for my case to arrive at the NVC. Once it did arrive, everything else happened pretty quickly. 

 

October 26th - NOA2

December 15th - Arrived at NVC

December 17th - Email with consulate number arrived

December 20th - CEAC status changed from IN TRANSIT to READY

 

Not sure why it took over 6 weeks for our file to reach the NVC (I thought 6 weeks would be the maximum, but I guess this process has taken the longest for a lot of us).

 

Sent DS-160, passport and Packet 3 checklist today. Now, I shall wait for Packet 4. Fingers crossed!!!

 

Good luck all <3

Yes you have to wait for the packet 4. I've seen people send in the packet 3 couple times after not hearing from them in a week or so. All the best! Our timelines look the same except our case number arrived to NVC today. I hope everything goes smooth from here.

[kannan 208]

called NVC again after 4pm ET, and got case number, finally.

I've heard that too! I've also been told that if the "case last updated" date changes and I haven't received packet 4 yet, then I should trying sending packet 3 again!

 

Fingers crossed you get your case number super fast!!  I also received an email stating that our request for it to be expedited had been approved, though we never asked for it to be expedited. Though, looking at some other May Canadian filers, they received the same email too. Maybe that's why it moved so fast from NVC to Montreal.

 

When did you received your NOA2?

"don't patronize me, pls and thank you. bye"

 

Seriously though, you did not contact DHS. I feel like we know more about this process that people within USCIS and NVC some times, so what does THAT LADY EVEN KNOW?? 

[kannan 208]

do you have to wait to submit ds-160 till the case reaches consulate? also, is packet 3 something beneficiary sends to consulate?

Packet 3 is sent by the embassy to the beneficiary, then they need to send some things back to the embassy (affidavit, birth certificate, etc - a list will be provided), and then the embassy will send packet 4 with instructions on scheduling your stuff  or at least that's my understanding.

 

Also in my understanding, I've read you can submit your DS-160 whenever you want, and that it's good for up to a year (again, not sure if this is true), but I was told here to wait until I get packet 3 from embassy, so I am doing that just in case.
