April 2018 NOA2 ----> NVC

[AnaUmo 419]

Hi Guys! I was checking and I noticed that there wasn't an April 2018 NOA2 to NVC thread. I'm from the October 2017 thread and I'll still be posting and stalking there to see all those wonderful approvals but I think we should have another thread just to keep things orderly. If there is already a thread, please let me know!

For those that are curious about the next step here is a snippet of where we should be after the NOA2 has been granted:

 

After USCIS approves the petition, it is sent to the National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC will give you a case number and send your petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where your fiancé(e) lives.

 

The NVC will mail you a letter when it sends your fiancé(e) case to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Once you receive this letter, inform your fiancé(e) to take the below-listed actions to apply for a K-1 visa and prepare for the interview.

 

I have seen many persons express that the NVC should not be contacted until about 2 weeks have passed since receiving the NOA2 because calling them may result in having your case sent back from NVC to USCIS which is only going to further delay the process.

I doubt that. I've seen people contacting NVC after 7-8 days and getting their #.

 

 

April 4th Approval, Friends.🤞😍

That is true. Someone who just finished with the whole process told me that I can start calling NVC 10 days after NOA2, they received their case number 16 days after NOA2 but did not get an e-mail notification until a month after so calling would be the best way to track your case and avoid delays.

I've seen that too but I've also seen quite a persons post complaints that they called after a week to find out why they haven't seen any NVC updates and they ended up getting their file sent back from NVC to the USCIS for secondary review or something so sometimes it's best to be safe than sorry

NVC gets to send back a case when they believe something is missing from it. For instance, a VJ member complained that he called NVC and they informed him that his petition was sent back to USCIS because the front page of his petition which includes the signatory of the USCIS Adjudicator and they had to send it back to USCIS. Most times, one may not know that his case was sent back if he doesn't call.

 

Calling NVC doesn't make them sending back your case to USCIS, unless the case has some kinda faults.

 

People call to get their case # to monitor the progress of their case from NVC to Embassy.

 

Also, there are cases when couples don't hear from NVC (when they don't call), until Embassy contacts them.

 

In some other cases, the NVC ends up not contacting the couples, but sends the case to the embassy. The embassy fails too, which eventually leads to Expiration of the case.

 

If you can monitor your case with your case #, you will know when it is at NVC, leaves NVC and reaches the embassy. You can then, contact the embassy immediately to mail/email the Packet 3. 

 

Some cases reach the NVC from USCIS within 5,6-10 days and case numbers assigned. So, you can feel free to call anytime, but it has been confirmed that it's better to call around 10 pm when all cases have been inserted into the System.

It can be updated either way, maybe email, website or you get a silent approval (via mail).

Have you created account on the new website?
