After receiving this letter from nvc. In the case status in UCSIS page suppose to show “case was sent to the Department of State “ . If it does not show, they’re lying to us. 
 

 

 

 

Case status in USCIS website won't change after approval.

Uh, no one is lying to us. The last status we get from USCIS is "Case was Approved". If anything else shows up after your approval, you might be in trouble (example: Department of State sent the case back to USCIS for Review - that would mean NVC sent your case back). If it stays approved, then it's how it's supposed to be.

I saw you talking about contacting USCIS on previous posts. Your case has been received by NVC. USCIS has nothing to do with it right now, their job is done. You now have to wait for a case number from NVC that starts with the three letters representing your embassy. Inquire again next week asking for a case number. If you do get a case number, you track it on CEAC, *not* NVC.

I did not make this up. I’m reading too much misinformation. I came across with this site.

i don't think anything should change on uscis from this... if you run numbers from years ago that were, their case still shows as approved. but someone please correct me if i'm wrong!

I know this website. It just gets info from the NVC timeframes page. 
Keep in mind most of the things there applies to I-130 cases and/or cases that need to upload documents to NVC/get DQ'd first before getting to the embassy part. K1 is an odd case. NVC only serves to review our approval/ship our cases to our embassies. The whole "documents review" part doesn't apply to us either.

I-130 cases do get the whole "Sent to Department of State" status. I-129fs do not.
They even get updates like "case is being actively reviewed" when we are all just left in the dark.

Well the backlog at NVC stretched to more than a month.  They didn't move forward this week

[GinoNiña 182]

Is it really taking 30 days? I think some people getting processed less than that.

after the 2-3 weeks to get the case number, how long until they send the case to the embassy?

it can take longer than that, I'm at 78 days and waiting

Lots of the April folks are starting to get their NVC approvals. Its taking about 90 days from noa2. So for me should be about 1 more month to go.

[Bh_sarah 942]

This is case creation. Hard to know exactly when NVC received your petition (unless you find an agent that gives you a specific date).

I'd say 2-3 weeks for case number is more accurate – because we usually only find that NVC received the petition AFTER the real date they received it.

It's going to be fine. We're way ahead of the expected here.

The NVC said they got my case and awaiting data entry. What email should I use to ask them about the case number? thank you.

Hello Mr So. Congrats, you're one step closer. NVC approvals have been taking about 90 days from the noa2 date. Your noa2 is 5/30. Id expect to see your approval approximately 8/30. As for making an inquiry there are differing opinions but id recommend starting with the NVC public inquiry webpage. Then depending on the message you get back determines if you need to email  NVCResearch.

Emailed NVCResearch yesterday, they notified me today that they received my case. Yay, one step closer! NOA2, 26 May

On July 3rd the NVC replied to my inquiry saying they received it recently.
