I have now contacted the Ombudsman and a Congressman. My case reaches 90 days on 10/8. I will keep you all updated if I make any progress.

Hey man... great!! Keep us updated and best of luck. I hope you hear some thing positive soon

My case was approved by USCIS on 5/7/19 and NVC still does not have it. NVC basically told me the technical programs are being implemented and they will begin processing once it's in place. They cannot tell me when that would be. I contacted immigration lawyers and there's absolutely nothing they could do to help either. this is so annoying.

That’s definitely so annoying. There are few IOE receipt holder who got their case number after 4 months.

I guess there’s hope for me then cause it’s been 5 months for me.. it’s just frustrating because call centers are no help and all you could do is wait, wait and wait.

Did u seek help from ur congressman? 5 months for a case number is not a normal thing.

Thank you so much. I didn’t know this was an option and I contacted him today! I hope I get some answers and if I do, I will let you all know!

@Sarah18 I searched in google who the congressmen for my state are, went to their website, searched for the "assistance" option and followed their instructions for immigration assistance. I sent an email explaining my situation with the Privacy Act Waiver their website provided attached.

HI, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. I hate to provide bad news, but mine still has not been received by the NVC. It's been over 10 weeks now. Furthermore, someone from my many calls to the NVC informed me that the NVC does not even have the database set up to receive these petitions and has no estimated date of when they will get it. I called and spoke to a Tier 2 at USCIS (no one at USCIS even seems to know about this pilot process) and he put in a service request for me a week ago to find out more information on where my case is. I am still waiting for a response. He told me to wait till Sept. 26. I am considering contacting a congressman or the ombudsman, but am afraid to do so too early and have them tell me to wait till the service request is answered. At the same time, if it does reach the 90 days I am thinking I could have it expedited with NVC later...it's a tough balance of time and a frustrating process. Keep me updated as to if you get any updates on your case. Maybe you'll have better luck.

Hi. I am in the same situation. The  I-130 was filed on January 14, 2019 and as of today I have not receive anything from NVC. How do you contact a congressman? this is absurd, it was been more than 4 months already since I received the approval and NVC gives no response.

Great!! how do you contact a congressman?? I need to do that it has been almost 5 months since the approval of the I-130

Google your district congressman. Once you go to their website, there should be a link where you could send them a petition. I filed my case in March, got mine approved by USCIS on 5/7/19. It's been 5 months, and still nothing from NVC. I hope contacting a congressman helps, but we shall see.

Any update guys? 

[S&S16 4]

Haven't heard anything from the congressman or ombudsman besides that they've received my request and will contact me when they get a response from USCIS. After the 90 days, I spoke with a Tier 2 rep who put in a service request which led to a vague, useless response. Called back and spoke with another Tier 2 who put the same service request under "supervisor review." Now hoping that will result in something...

[Waitlong 1]

I have heard from the congressman, and they're no help. They got the same response from USCIS as I did. I have replied back to their email, so I will update you once I hear back from them again. I actually got to talk to a supervisor at NVC last time I called and there's basically nothing they could do. Since the case is not with NVC yet, they cannot really "review". After all the calls and emails that I've made past few months, I came to a conclusion that we are SOL and all we could do is wait.
