April and May Filers - NOA2 to NVC

[Passing.star 0]

The best way is to wait for the alloted time they give in the NOA2, wait for four to six weeks before calling the NVC I think. If after thos given period if nothing happens its time to call them. We planned calling them next week for the status of our case but today we receive a letter already. SO I think better be patient of waiting first. Thats my opinion.

I know I know...it´s just all weird. They say they are waiting for crates to be filled to send them off but then people who were approved after us already have their NVC number so that doesnt make any sense why our petition wouldn´t be put in the same crate with those too and when you call they just say they have no information. If they weren´t at least trying to mislead everyone with different info or no info then things wouldn´t seem that bad...

Thats true! I saw other cases too that has been approved later than us or the same date like ours who had their new case number first but then we just wait for four weeks before getting nervous and excited. Sometimes you have to give them enough time to work on your case so that they won't be disturb otherwise the more u push them to dig into what u want the more they will be stubborn on finishing on your case. Just be positive I know that you will receive an update real soon, OK? !

It seems like some people have better luck than others. Our petition flew through NVC.

We were approved on 16th Oct 07 and Patsy finally managed to get through to an operator lat NVC ast night (the best time) and was told they received our file on the 13th Nov and sent it to London Consul on the 15th. So now we know we're on the last leg and only have London to wait for and deal with....Whew!

Good luck all you May fliers - and everyone else too.

Congrats on everyone's progress! I've been gone for a week or so, a new job has got me working around the clock!

Afterforever, how did you get your stuff for packet 3 all together???? How did you know exactly what you need? My fiance called the embassy in Greece and they told him he had to wait until the packet arrived because he would need it in order to obtain certain documents. Is this usually true or are they just giving one of those generic answers?

Thanks and good luck to everyone!

I couldn't have said it better myself!!!! Why is it so different for others?

Okay mossycouple...I've settled down now... I will just be patient, and look in the mailbox everyday for letter from NVC. I really don't need case# yet. As long as paperwork is on its way to the Embassy... Take care.....

Bazoookis, I downloaded some forms off the visajourney site (look under downloads, top left heading). I also was able to download forms from the US Embassy in Thailand website. You can also download forms from the DOS website. Good luck!

Hi everyone I've had jury duty and working lots, so this is my first chance to look at the thread in a few days. Nothing to report, was approved on 10/18, NVC does not have it and spoke with a supervisor at CSC...they have no idea where our paperwork is So much for my NOA2!

Congrats to all those approved who got to NVC and out so quickly..I'm happy for you all and extremely jealous.

What the heck??? Did you ask the supervisor what's the next step, like send them another copy so they can use it to forward to the NVC? This is unbelievable! I would be on top of this and wouldn't give them all the time in the world to locate it. It's already bad enough you've waited this long for the NOA2. I sure hope they can find it ASAP. Good luck and keep us posted.

She took my name, number, email address and said although they usually wait 90 days to start a search for missing files, she would send an email to the mail staging supervisor as well as the approving officer to find out where the misplacement may have occurred. She said she will also send an email to a processing supervior and follow up with a call to him this week at NVC..we'll see. I told her that many approved up to a few weeks after me already have their cases at their emabssies or on the way. I'm trying so hard to be calm and patient, but I'm losing it a bit here.

The worst part about this is that they just give us the standard 30, 60, 90 days speech and there's nothing that we can do. This is already a stressful process and added further complications only make it worst. I hope they will be able to locate your case this week. Good luck my friend.

Thanks so much for your support I don't know what I'd do without my friends on vj
