There is many on here, across all service centers and NBC (MSC) that have not been able to ever see their online status. There is little one can do about it except wait blindly. Good luck to you.

Does one ever get their I-129F in the mail without ever seeing it online?

I also wanted to add................if you think this might of happened to you, why dont you call NVC to see if they have got your petition as some times it will be at NVC before you get your approval in the mail........you will need to speak to an operater for K visa & you will need your MSC#.good luck!!....some people have also found out they have been approved by doing this also!!.......but dont lose heart if they say they didnt get it yet!!.......as they can have it a week or two without issuing a number yet!!, if they have not issued a number they will say they didnt get it yet!!

Hi,

I was able to see my case online but the status never changed. It said even after I already had my visa, that "it takes USCIS 30 - 90 days to complete this kind of case"

I never got a snail-mail approval either. I simply decided to call NVC one day on November 9 2005 and found out they had already sent it to the embassy. Gosh, can you imagine the hurry I was in? I had had no time to prepare anything as I didn't know I was approved. 2 days after I called NVC I already received Pkt 3 from the embassy...

You should call NVc every once in a while

Hi Germangel.....Do you know if the phone number for NVC is published on the USCIS website or should we just call the NCSC number on our NOA1? Thank you!
