Yes. 

Could you share the text you used for your email, with details removed of course? I'd love to see what a successful email template looks like.

I’m actually going to hazard a guess that the 2 emails are likely separate events.... @KandR18 emailed the support email and they emailed their husband.... I suspect it may have been co-incidental. I mean it may not have been... but just taking a guess. 😊

 

you’ll need to email that address with your case number and your reason for requesting them to request the paperwork out of the NVC. Each case will be different.... fiance(e)’s parent gravely ill, supporting your fiance(e) with dependent minding, pending job, etc. It’ll be something like:

 

Name:

Date of birth:

Case Number:

 

Request: I’m writing to you to request that the above mentioned case be requested from the NVC and forwarded to the Sydney Consulate due to the following reasons. (Lay out your reasoning here).

 

You should get an auto reply with a we have received your case (which I didn’t the first 2 times I emailed evidently as the lady from the 1300 number told me) with an email case reference. USTravel Docs then forwards that to the consulate and once they reply they will update the ‘email case’ with their response. I was on the phone with her when I forwarded the email chain I sent last week which evidently didn’t get received and she confirmed over the phone that she had received it while I was talking to her.

 

Good luck!! 😊

How do you Expidite 

nvcexpedite@state.gov.  include the following information to NVC as part of your NVC expedite request:

• NVC case numer in the subject line and body of the email.
• “Request for NVC Expedite” in the subject line and body of the email.
• Applicant’s (beneficiaries) full name and date of birth.
• Two telephone numbers in which to contact the beneficiary. Many times, NVC usually asks for these numbers as part of the request process. Save time by providing them as part of the initial request.
• Petitioner’s full name and date of birth.
• Summarize the reasons for the NVC expedite request.
• Provide as attachments any evidence supporting the NVC expedite request.  For example, evidence may include a doctor’s letter or other evidence that supports the reason for the request.

Hello All

 

I thought I would make a Thread for Australian's who have their CASE COMPLETE at NVC and are waiting for an Interview to be scheduled at the US Consulate in Sydney! 

 

It might make it easy for us to keep in touch and update each other! 

 

I hope this is OK 🐨

 

We were DQ'd this morning so we will be waiting a while lol

I didn’t think Australians needed to apply for a tourist visa?? We are part of the Visa Waiver Program ETA/ESTA... just can’t travel with the crisis at this time.

Nothing complicated. I attached my expedite approval from the NVC and stated "I would like to inquire as to whether the consulate has received our case following our expedite approval. I have attached our approval notice from the NVC"

They don't have to, but my husband applied for the B1/B2 for longer visits. Plus his company has a US counterpart. It's not a bad visa to have
