NVC taking too long, mail a letter?

[Jenya 0]

Jenya,

Do you think it was because of getting it entered into the NVC or the delay from CSC getting it there? CSC has not even updated the website on our approved applications. The website shows pending.. Brilliant work from USCIS!! Best of luck to you and soon you will be united with your spouse..

USCIS updated their status for my case immediately. This is completely my own speculation, but I think it was NVC that was slow to enter my application in their system. From what I read in other topics, they have an influx of applications around now, so it's taking them a longer.

Hello Jenya,

I can definately understand your frustation. Did USCIS give you a date by which you should get a reply?

As Urge briefly explained, what I did was call NVC and ask to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor told me if our petition was in the building it would be in the computer and there was nothing she could do. I felt the supervisor was telling a lie because I seriously doubt the government is using RFID. So I called the USCIS and used the option for petitions already approved. I explained that NVC claims our petition never arrived and that NVC stated it can take up to four weeks, plus it was already 28 days. I asked if my petition could be resent and she put in a request to expedite. The lady informed me I would get an answer by 11-20, which was the day I was told our our petition was forwarded to the Embassy.

Thanks! I already had mine entered in the system. It just took about 45 days...

Hello My Honey. I think the delay once again falls under USCIS. I called them today (using the RFE line) to check and see if they had sent our petition to NVC. The lady was very nice and explained to me that 130 boxes are sent DAILY to NVC. She also told me that our I-129F was tranferred to NVC on Friday December 7th (almost 3 weeks after approval). So as you can see, after USCIS approves them, they still keep them there for a while in that they call "NVC Staging area". But luckily our case is on the way to NVC....

Thank you very much for the update!! Our applications were approved the same time so, I bet our applications were sent out on December 7, 2007. I am excited..

I saw on another thread were a member who was approved on 11/15/07 the NVC entered there application in the system. I'm going to call on friday and I hope they have entered it in the system... Good luck and thanks for the update. Keep me posted on your progress...

I just spoke with CSC and our applications have left the WAC's at CSC!!!! Our applications have been sent to NVC but,

now its the waiting game to be entered into the system at NVC...

I think you found an idiot. Imagine that, a moron in government service!!!! I'm stunned

I just called NVC and the guy told me that for I-129F it goes directly to the consulate bypassing NVC. Is this even remotely possible? Or is he just an idiot?

My visa was approved today, but we would have had severe problems unless we stayed on top of their A$$es. NVC sent our petition to the embassy on 11/09, embassy receives and and processes it on 11/13, but they "forgot" to send the packet to my wife, and when they finally did on 12/04/2007, they sent her the packet for the IR1/CR1 visa. It was only because we continued to call them once or twice a week that finally we found out on 12/04/07 (last tuesday) of the interview date today, and we really had to rush to get all the papers together, and luckily my wife started early with the police checks because some of those can take 2 or 3 weeks to get in Peru. Basically, even after USCIS, stay on top of them and keep calling and asking questions.

Yesterday, I called CSC to find out when our applications were sent to the NVC. I did speak to a guy who was nice and said your applications were sent out a couple of days after your approval. So, I guess I can pick the day when USCIS mailed our K3 because he wasn't exactly sure. Also, yesterday I received an approval email finally updating our approvals from November 20, 2007 for the K3. But, our I-130 is still pending.... Go figure.... Its not a wonder why there so many problems at CSC (WAC's) because they just can't get it together!!
