Approved April/May/June Filers waiting for NVC

[My Lao Po 0]

My husband finally spoke with someone from NVC.

They said that they have not received our case yet.

I do not think they will get our case until Christmas Day....

Anyways, we will keep calling them every week.

My I-129F hit the NVC and our Consulate number is assigned !!

It was exactly 30 days for NOA-2 to enter into NVC system !!

Long wait for both NOA-2 and arrive at the NVC !!!

Congrats!!!

Thank you all !!!

It appears your case is moving along very smoothly !! I think MNL is a little faster than GUZ (Guangzhou) !!

got so busy this past week, and my work hours aren't good to call NVC, I always finish work around 06:00pm or after, but I have off next Monday, so I will call them to see if my case made it or not.

I still can't believe what USCIS is doing with the case after approval, why don't they send it.

Also I have question to those who said in this forum that the USCIS wait until a track or something get filled then they send the load to NVC.. where did you get this information from?

one more question ...at the time of interview is it ok for me to be with my wife when she goes to the interview? and support her with the answer to the question? have anyone done that?

Thanks to all

NVC is open until midnight EST. You are better off calling 11:30PM EST to get through to an operator. You can call early too, 7:30AM. So their hours are pretty good, but hard to reach an operator at peak times (lunch hour, 8-10 AM EST, etc.).

The bit about the truck being loaded before being sent out from CSC to NVC originated from the March filers. They were at the leading edge of the current slow down both at CSC approvals stage and getting to NVC. After seeing Feb filers fly (relative to themselves) through CSC and on to NVC, they were wondering what was taking so long. First with their approvals, then with getting to NVC. Various March filers (LvivLovers, Kalina, neel06 and others) called USCIS and got through to CSC and got various reasons why they were so long to get to NVC. One consistent response they got was the trailer wasn't full and thus there was no shipment to NVC yet. The story went the truck goes to NVC once full, or once a month if not full. So you might have to wait a month for it to go once its on the truck if you get into an empty truck.

Another thing that they heard was the new I130 and I129F pairing (and sending I130 to NRC and I129F to NVC) resulted in a new staging area being set up to handle this activity, and the newness of it all was taking them some time to get used to, up to an additional month before it got on the truck. How true any of these stories are is unknown. They came from the misinformation line after all. As you can see, some of us April/May got to NVC awful quick (could have just been we made it at the tail end of a mostly full truck too ). But then they slowed again.

Lastly, you can certainly go with your spouse to the interview. I would be careful about helping her answer questions, as in if you cut off her answer to interject, it might look strange to the interviewer as if you have something to hide.

Aren’t you awesomely helpful Urge to Race

Thank you sooooo much man for your thoroughly answer ,

About NVC hours… waw I didn’t know that I was thinking they have a business hours only. But that’s very good I will sure call them toward Monday morning to see, and if my case haven’t made it I will follow up everyday when I come from work.

About the interview, I was wonder if at all they will allow me to get with her to the window/room she will be interviewed on.

Wintime,

For Addis Ababa, you should be ok to attend the interview according to the VJ embassy info page: http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/inde...aba&entry=2

Can fiance(e)/spouse attend the interview? Yes

It varies by embassy/consulate. You can contact the embassy to verify.

Hey Win and Urge,

Just an FYI. I called the NVC on Monday of last week over and over again and I kept getting a message that an operator was not available and after twice of saying that, they disconnected the call every time. I called all the way up til midnight. Hopefully you will be able to get through this Monday. On Friday, I called and the entire call took only 8 minutes. The lady (her name was Rose) told me that they do send everything by bulk mail and that it could be 2 - 4 weeks. She told me to try back in 2 weeks. They should receive the petition in 2 -4 weeks, but they have up to 90 days! I'm thinking 2 more weeks. . . 90 days??? It's already been 3 weeks since we were approved. I'm cool though, but dang . . . She was extremely nice so it made it more difficult for me to think about reaching through the phone and well you know . . . LOL Of course you KNOW I would have done nothing more than wring, I mean hug, her neck. Heee heee.
