Does any NVC Jun filer get Case Number yet?

[GandK 168]

Holy Mackerel - Stop the Presses - Just found out NVC has my case - after 55 days from NOA2!

:dance:

Congrats! About time, I think you have waited the longest!

NVC received our file today, too! No case number yet, though.

I think that there is a difference between CSC and VSC times. It looks like VSC people are receiving case numbers faster.

And they receive Noa2 faster as well.

Tried calling NVC this morning, no luck, they haven't received my fiel yet. But it looks like some of the 12th's fielders have already got there.

Just got our case number now. NOA2 was 5 June. Happy!

NOA2 June 1st, NVC received and got case number June 29th. But now I just called them and we're in AP. This is just a neverending nightmare.

Received out Case Number on the 29th also but was confirmed today (7/2) of case number!

NOA2 date was June 4th 2012.

The first operator told us that our file is being processed at the NVC and should be sent out in 5 business days.

The second operator told us that our case is under additional processing, there is no time frame for the process, no estimate. I asked if this is the same as administrative processing, she said more or less.

The third operator told us there is no such a thing called administrative processing, all received I-129Fs go through processing at the NVC to be forwarded to the consulate. This usually doesn't take more than 5-7 business days but she acknowledged some cases can take up to 30 days.

The fourth operator told us that our file is under administrative processing, but this is standard procedure, there is nothing unusual about our case processing and should be sent out in a few days. (He said they double check the name and addresses etc)

I have been doing a lot of research about K-1 AP at the NVC stage. These are my conclusion that may make you feel better.

1) All K-1 cases go through some form of additional processing at the NVC. This can be as simple as checking the beneficiary's address is correct or running an entire background check on the petitioner and/or petitioner.

2) Some petitioners do receive a letter/email from the NVC stating the case number and that their case will be forwarded to the embassy in 7 days. This is a standard letter, it will always say 7 days even some cases do stay at the NVC for a lot longer time.

3) NVC operators use the term additional processing and administrative processing interchangeably.

4) NVC operators do not have the information about the processing of your K-1 case on their computer monitor. These are not the same people who process the cases.They can only see the date it was received at the NVC and see that it has not left the NVC. When the case has not left the NVC, they are instructed to tell the callers that it is undergoing (additional/administrative/extra) processing.

5) Most cases leave the NVC after 2-7 days, so people have become to regard this "quick" one as "normal processing". I have seen cases on the forum where people were told that they were in AP and their cases were sent out 2-5 days later.

6) The longest K-1 in AP at the NVC case seems to be something like 55-60 days back in 2008.

Final and the most important conclusion

7) There is no one who can tell you what is going on at the NVC. This is just another government black hole. The only thing we know quite for certain is that our case will be sent to the consulate between 2-60 days after the receipt date. All we can do is just wait and keep calling everyday and hope we end up on the "normal processing" time frame e.g. 2-7 days.

As a K1, you don't pay any fees at NVC, so, as far as I know, an IIN wouldn't be assigned for your case. The IIN is just for IR-1/CR-1 applicants as they pay two fees at NVC.

Thank you SO much for this information! You have no idea how much better that makes me feel. I guess I will keep calling every day or two and see what happens. At least I have some hope again!

Your right there is no Fee to be paid by the K1 Applicants, however still asigned a Invoice Identification Number it just has " $0 " in the fee and exempt.
