Hey guys... today I called NVC again just as I did everyday since August 23, I heard the same new information again.

"We haven't gotten your file yet, allow 3 to 4 weeks"...

I replied, "But, but It's already been 4 weeks".

Nice NVC Lady: Well it can take anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks to 90 days. Call back after 90 days.

I hung up and

I continued to follow my routine of calling CSC using the RFE trick.

Just my luck, the Same lady from yesterday picked it up. I can tell she is Indian by her accent :).

She took my case number and name. And after sternly telling me that I shouldn't be calling everyday to check the status. She told me my case left to NVC yesterday at 6.00pm.

So I said: Cool, since they already told me they haven't got it today, I will call em tommorrow to see if they got it.

She: NO, NO, wait 2 to 3 weeks because NVC gets thousands of cases from all the Service centers and it takes them 2 to 3 weeks to enter your case into their system and assign a number.

I : Ok, ok, I won't call tommorrow.

and then I said you are sure it left CSC yesterday. and She said, Yes it left yesterday at 6pm.

I said, Thank you, Thank you so much. and I hung up.

I wonder if NVC will give me the case number tommorrow when I call them. ;)

I received a "Touch" today for my I-130 at the CSC. Both applications have been approved. I am in the waiting period for CSC to bulk ship to the NVC. Does anybody have an idea why there would be a touch at this point on the I-130? One of my thoughts was to store that particular application as CSC now holds on to it. Thanks, Robin

Unless they're sending the wrong petition off to the NVC like they did Kalina :angry: :angry:

. I'm also waiting for my I-129f to go to the CSC, my stepdaughter's I-130 is still pending and last touched on the 13th, the other two were approved and were last touched on the 14th.
