My mom received this letter grading my sister's case; she is in the F3 category and current but not DQ yet. Is it normal for NVC to call Petioner?!

I read on their website that they will never call.

This is the email address and email itself:

So why isn't your sister DQ yet? Has she completed everything needed for NVC? Looks like they were looking through cases and noticed her PD is current but not completed in NVC so they'll try to follow up with you.

She was a bit behind. All her documents are uploaded and accepted, but they ask for the sponsor's tax transcript, which we have requested from the IRS. I uploaded a note about obtaining the document from the IRS. It is almost done and ready. I found it odd that NVC made a phone call like that!

Tax transcript takes about five minutes to get from irs.gov (I do it yearly).

Has this call occurred yet?  I hope not, as I believe this is a scam.  There is no NVC “Outreach Team” that will phone people to pursue their case — they have plenty of work without doing that!  There are also several typos/non-standard English errors in the short e-mail.  

I would be very cautious about providing the information that they say you will need to provide for the call.  With that info, they can be “you” and contact NVC and get other info about your family that they could use for fraudulent purposes.  At a minimum, I would ask them for a number you could call back to confirm it is actually from NVC before talking to them.

You're right.  That thing has "suspicious" written all over it.  Notice the "www.state.gov" That is not a secure url.  This is a fishing expedition as indicated by the "To whom it may concern" and the lack of information, imho.

They called this morning, and she had all the financial details of the case and didn't ask me any questions other than why we haven't submitted the financial document they need! She said it was a new project for the cases that hadn't progressed!

I was very skeptical, and I told her my concern. She said you could end the call if you wanted!

I will still inquire to ensure there is no leak from their side, which they are unaware of.

She referred to the box on I864 for net income and told me the exact amount on the form!

Definitely, because this sounds SKEEETCHY.  I'd be calling NVC and asking, not waiting around for someone to call me.  Additionally, I'd be looking at all aspects of credit history for dodgy business.
