Hi, 


Im not looking for judgement. Last time I asked something here people made fun of me just because this is my FIRST time going through this process.


US Approved our Case September 6 2021. 
Its been 125 days now. We have lost the welcome letter with our NVC case number on it. We got it in October? 

 

We had to respond by January 31.23  


We emailed them two days ago (January 9 2023) an Inquiry that we lost our paper. If we emailed them that we lost it will they extend our time to let us finish it?

 

Is it too late? We responsed with email saying we need our case number to make our CEAC Account. Which we haven't done yet. BUt as soon as we get our new Case number we will! 


Did we mess this all up? Is there still a chance??!!! What if we don't get it done til after January 31/ will they terminate us? or are we already considered termination? Like what if they 

 

Im feeling DEFEATED Already so no #### hate comments.

Call NVC to check if your case has been transferred to them. You can ask them for the NVC's case number.

Yes we have inquired! I know it was transferred to them, its not at USCIS anymore. Its there. I didn't make the account yet. and NVC did mail us (Im sure the case number and sign up for CEAC) but we lost the mail! Thats why im so scared we are going to run out of time :( I just don't know when the (one year reply) goes into affect? After you make the account? Or before? Im PRAYING we are okay!!! WE are currently waiting on them to reply to us about sending another one and sending us our case number on email.

Are you sure this date is correct? Was it 2022?  If it was approved in 2022, I think you're fine. There shouldn't be anything required until it gets to the consulate.

Sounds like things are fine.  Relax, and follow the consulate's instructions.

How is it at consulate? Did you submit any documents?

If OP is doing a K-1, there are no documents to submit to NVC.

1. Technically the I-129F expires 4 months after USCIS approval.  However, since COVID both NVC and Embassy/Consulate have been extending it.  But I would advise you to respond to the Packet 3 instructions as soon as possible.  If the consulate (Montreal) does not see you complete the DS-160 within a few months they may cancel it and return it to USCIS.

 

2.  There was no NVC welcome letter.  It would have been a case sent to the consulate letter.

 

3. If I recall correctly, Montreal still  has a backlog.  I assume they recently contacted you (after 4 months) for you to create a CEAC account and fill in the DS-160?  If so, do it as soon as possible   You do not need the NVC letter - just the case number, which may have been in the Packet 3 email.

Yes sorry for the confusion. Its at the Consulate right now! Its only been 125 days since our approval. They didn't contact after the 4 months yet! Im contacting them and getting this as soon as possible. Im trying to get ahold of my case number right now! Thats all I need. Im just waiting on the email they send with my case number and Ill be makingn the CEAC account and doing whats needed asap. I just hope there is time. We got the NVC letter in October I believe. 

I didn't submit documents yet, I still need to make Account.
