Skipped over NVC straight to consulate

[Kay&Epi 53]

First is this the correct number (603) 334-0700?

I called for my case number and was told that it wasn't there and she had me to read the first paragraph of my NOA2 which states the my petition was approved and forearded to the listed consulate.

For one. There is no listed consulate. She said based on my notice I need to call consulate because my case didn't go to the NVC.

I'm really confused because everyone told me all cases go through NVC first.

I'm wondering if I'm call I get the wrong number or doing something wrong. Has this happened to anyone else

It never skips NVC. The are the ones that create diplomatic packages. The center can NOT. It goes to NVC gets a country specific number and then is sent to the correct consulate. All NOA2 say it is being forwarded to the consulate. They just don't mention the small stop at NVC. Remember all immigrations phone lines lead to some low paid clerk reading from a script that has no validation of truth. If you asked for your country case number she would tell you to call NVC . (assuming at least that part of their script is correct )

NVC hasn't received your case file yet. YOU have to wait till the time you were told.. It never skips NVC.

Don't get excited yet.The main battle is in Ghana after being approved here. The next with NVC is bring this bring that depending in your case. The battle is in Ghana. Good luck.

what is your status now at the uscis website??

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

It did not skip, you were misinformed. Wait and call them for the case number in 2-3 weeks or so.

"On September 15, 2016, we approved your Form I-129F, Petition for Fiance(E), "

I was approved on the same day. I have been told as well that they have not received my case yet either. They continue to tell me different things depending on who I talk to.

One just said we don't have it yet. One told me it takes 6 weeks call back in two weeks. Another agent told me that it should be there by now and its strange that they don't have it. She told me to call every Friday.

It really seems to be luck of the draw when you call the NVC. We may be in the same boat. Just keep trying!

Yea its really strange. I'm just getting the run around. I called again and was told to contact USCIS to see when they forwarded my petition. I called and they said they'll call me back.

[Kat&Jon 85]

I was going to call the USCIS later, if you don't mind me asking. What number did you use when you called the USCIS?

Of course.

I called the customer service number(800) 375-5283.

They escalated my call and the have a callback system so hopefully they truly contact me by the end of the day.

[Kat&Jon 85]

I will hope they do, let us know what they say when they reach back out to you. I will try and give that a try later today!

Thank you for the number. I know they have two available so I just wanted to call the right one.

You guys really don't need to call, it takes 3-5 weeks for a K1 at NVC and you will get a letter in the mail with the case number.

Don't drive yourselves crazy over nothing but prepare for the interview.

I know in my head you are soooo right Ebunoluwa, but after reading about some of our other filers getting stuck in a storage unit or lost it got me in a bit of a Tizzy. Jon keeps reminding me to relax and chill out, but I am OCD and I know once we get the LND number there is a bit more we are able to control instead of just the waiting game.

I need a mantra lol.
