Hi All,

 

My documents were received by the NVC yesterday. How long should I wait to contact NVC to confirm?

I called them the day they received my documents and they told me to give them two weeks for my case number

Hope everyone is doing well.

New to this forum...but not new to VJ. 

I'm wondering if anyone has come across an issue w/ NVC? We are using an attorney, and they told me not to call NVC because they were going to do that for us. Our NOA2 was dated 12/08/2017. My patience ran out yesterday and I called NVC only to find out that they don't have any record of our case. I immediately contacted our attorney and they have now sent an email to nvcresearch@state.gov. 

My concern now is if my case is...lost...(God forbid that!). Has anyone had this issue? What should we expect? I'm a wreck here. Our case took FOREVER to get approved and now NVC doesn't have it.   

Thanks again for your input on this.

This sounds scary. I hope your lawyer didn't scam you. Did you use the lawyer for case processing at the USCIS stage, like before it got to the NVC stage? Are your NOA1 and 2 directly from the US gov or did the lawyer pass those documents to you? You could call the USCIS and see if they have a record of your case too. Once I put the wrong code in, maybe you just said the wrong case code and they thought it didn't exist. Good luck!

I was approved on Dec 1. Nvc has no record of my case yet. 

I’m sorry you’re in the same position. This just drains all hopes. I thought that by March and my husband and I would be planning his move...

best of luck to you.

Thanks for your reply! I don’t have any doubts on the attorneys. I received both NOAs from USCIS directly and the attorney also got a copy. Everything that was sent was also sent to me. 

It’s my fault for expecting the attorneys to keep doing a good job...I should have called two weeks after the NOA2. 

I still haven’t heard anything yet. The lawyers did send an inquiry email and cc’d me on it. 

I read on other threads that this has happened before but they all seem to have to wait awhile to hear back....it’s just not fair. But his entire process hasn’t been, so I shouldn’t be so surprised. 😭

Oh ok, now I get what happened better. My NOA2 was for end of October, it didn't change to being sent to the NVC until the end of November, and then the NVC said they got it on Dec 6th but didn't give us the fee invoices (for AOS and the online IV form) by email until  about Dec. 12. So I understand how that can be annoying. It therefore effectively was 1.5 months from NOA2 to the next time I could push the case along. when i called them before dec. 6th, the NVC said they didn't have a record of our case. by dec. 6th the nvc did have a record because it was finally to them.

Hey! Same happened for us, expedite was approved but only on the basis that NVC looked over and approved our documents first. Our case was approved and sent to Islamabad within 3 days but no update from embassy. I wonder if we have to call them or go online and schedule our own interview? 

Let me know what happens with your case!

How do you expedite the case at NVC and on what basis ? 

Thanks!

Thanks! 

I expedited my case at the USCIS process through a senator for medical reasons. 

You can request an expedite from NVC for multiple reasons, just search online and it'll give you the email for expedite and list of reasons!
