hi! can you tell us how did you contact an agent at the USCIS. Did you talk to the agent by phone? If so what is the phone number you used?

Thanks...

you can chat at uscis emma, search for it and you can find it, choose others and then keep writing live agent, and eventually you will get there

NVC Received from NVC Inquiry.

NOA2: 5/1/2023 55 days

 

Maybe in a couple weeks I will inquire to NVC research and send them a copy of my NOA2.

I am planning to send an inquiry to NVC for my case. Can anyone guide me about the process ? do they need a specific format for inquiry or we can type in the query directly ? also do we use the website link or send inquiry via email ? which is better

So I chatted with an agent via Emma and they said there is no indication that my case has been sent to the VNC yet. Later I spoke with another agent on the phone, they said they don't have my case it already sent to the NVC. However, when I asked when was it sent, they didn't give me a date. Not sure what to think 😞

Good one. Next time ask the agents credential, like employee number. That way he/she cannot give you false hope.

You got a better answer than me haha I tried the Emma chat yesterday and the agent said "please allow 90 days after your approval" and instantly disconnected! Keep trying, you may get an agent that is willing to give you more information.

also just make sure you're chatting as the petitioner on the chat bc they won't talk to the beneficier🙄

[Darko-Emily 49]

The chat is useless, every time you will get the same information and tell you to wait 90 days. 

Also, they keep track at how many times you contact them and they will tell you.

Yep, emailed this one too and filled out the public inquiry yesterday. Still waiting for a reply. But contacted USCIS to see if they tell me if it was already sent, no luck so far in getting an agent that helps.

[Darko-Emily 49]

When you guys emailed NVCResearch <nvcresearch@state.gov> , did you just put receipt number in the subject and only attached a scan copy of I-797 or did you say something in the email?

The NVC timeframes page takes in consideration the cases that already arrived to them, not the approval day of the cases that USCIS is sending to NVC. Example: they say they are working on cases received on May 4th. But from what I’m seeing, these are cases that were approved in March, which would mean USCIS took 2 months to send the case to NVC. I’m saying that because I haven’t seen any April case yet get a positive answer from the NVC inquiry, all they are getting is that they have not received the case yet.

 

I think this is true for the cases approved in the first wave and cases from April 22 and forward. I was expecting to be approved in 440 days, then they started speeding up and I thought I’d be approved in 400 days like the filers in my month… but nope. So I’m getting the NVC wait without having traded anything on the I-129f phase

 

I-134? I won’t do it now because the form expires on July 31st. I’ll wait for the new version as I’m not expecting an interview until September.

Im curious where you saw that the current I-134 form expires July 31st. If that the case then i may need to redo mine.....Oh wait i see the expiration date is on the upper right corner of the form. Im glad you noticed that. Id hate to be delayed because of an expired form
