Congratulations! I know it is a long wait!

I can tell you one thing about this whole visa process. When we are finally done, nothing else in our whole lives will ever again seem so difficult!

Wife's visa journey:

03/19/07: Initial mailing of I-129F.

07/07/11: U.S. Citizenship approved and Oath Ceremony!

MIL's visa journey:

07/26/11: Initial mailing of I-130.

05/22/12: Interview passed!

Jade2004,

Congratulations!

Do you have to talk with a person or does the automated line work for I-129F's? I'm on Day 6 after approval, so I'm getting ready to check in on NVC on Day 14 -- well really to see if the bonehead system at CSC sent it to NVC. Once NVC gets it, they seem qucik. Then it's waiting for the interview time. Fun, fun.

Also what info is available to them when you called? Will they help you determine receipt date and send dates for our timelines?

Thanks,

Robin

Thanks Robin...Some of the case numbers can be checked through the automated system (depending on where u filed)...although, anyone can speak to a rep...just type in 1 for english then 5 to speak to a rep...i told her my receipt number and she comfirmed my husbands name and b'day and told me my nvc case number and that it will be forwarded to the embassy within 2 to 4 weeks (i don't think it takes that long); depending on when it clears security checks and once nvc sends it they will send me a letter. That's it :)

Good luck, maybe we will all get through this soon :)

ohh its painful.

CSC sucks! Jade2004 you are so lucky!

I have the same date as you. Can someone tell me if it possible that they have the case for one person and not the other, even though they have the same date?

When I saw your post, I got all excited and called them again! but NO LUCK!

Oh well, wait continues.........

I just called NVC and they said they have not received my case yet.. I said my case has already been approved since 4 weeks and the lady said 'We have not received it yet. If you want call back after 2 more weeks'. If you want???? You idiots, I am going to call you and bug you every freaking day until you receive it. I really wish these people were in our shoes.. then only would they understand our situation.

Right after that I called USCIS and the person there said that my case was forwarded to NVC on Sept 6th (but NVC has no idea of it). Thereafter I called DOS and they said that NVC got my case today and that I should give them a week at least to forward to Consulate/Embassy (we know that's not happening in 1 week!).

Honestly, I don't know who to believe and who not to. As far as NVC is concerned they do not have my case yet!!!

ras, what number did u call at USCIS? and DOS?

USCIS - (800) 375-5283 Use the RFE trick to speak to someone at CSC and ask them when your case was forwarded to NVC.

DOS - (202) 663-1225 Use 0 to speak to an operator, give them your I-129F receipt number and ask for the status.

Ras001,

It is unbelievable how horrible CSC is compared to VSC. The director should be gone for allowing blatent differences against their own policies of adjudicating in order received.

Question. What is the difference between calling NVC versus DOS? Do you learn more from one versus the other, or do you receive one piece of information from one and different info from the other.

Thanks,

Robin
