NOA2 case being forwarded directly to Embassy

[MR2nice 0]

Hello Everyone,

I'm sure most of us May Filers are waiting for our approved cases to be sent to the NVC so that a case number will be assigned and be then forwarded to the Embassy to where our Fiance(e) resides. I'm a little over 30 days now and NVC has not received my case and after reading that some cases were either being duplicated, lost, or put on storage it got me very worried. Last week I have mailed a copy of my NOA2 to NVC in hope that they can inquire the USCIS about my case.

I just got off the phone with USCIS and spoke to a very nice lady. She had told me that in my case my approved petition was forwarded directly to my Fiancee's Consulate in Vietnam. I asked her if she knew the date that it was sent out and she said from the system she can only tell that it was mailed directly to the Consulate instead of the NVC. If this is true, I will contact my Fiancee to ask her to go to the Embassy and pick up Packet 3.

I don't know if this is the case for everyone but if the NVC did not receive your case after the 3 weeks mark of approval then it wouldn't hurt to contact your Fiance(e) and ask them to call the Consulate from their country to check and see if it was sent directly there instead.

Just wanted to update everyone I learned this morning. At this point it doesn't hurt to ask our Fiance(e) to check. I'll keep everyone posted.

Good Luck!

Umm I believe it has to go to NVC as they assign a case # and do security checks before sending it to the embassy.
