National Visa Center (Dept of State)NOA2 APPROVED IN OCTOBER.. WAITING FOR NVC CASE NUMBER

It supose change to sipped this week.
My approved was october 23 and shipped to uscis on november 6 , my fiance calked on november 15 and got case number.


I guess it depends on the availability of interview slots in consulates because until now even though we are from tsc and noa2 october 24 our case was not shipped to nvc as well.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NOA2 APPROVED IN OCTOBER.. WAITING FOR NVC CASE NUMBER

We finally got our case number today from NVC.  Thank God.  NOA2 notice date 10.23.13.  NOA2 hardcopy received 10.30.13 . Text message from USCIS that our case got updated 11.8.13. Checked USCIS website showed  that the approve case was forwarded to DOS.  Hang in there.  The wait should be over soon.


Congratulations..

it seems like we have similar timelines!! let me know when you get your number (then i can start panicking over mine)
 
i have been waiting for my NVC case number as well. I ended up emailing them this morning (on their site it says emails preferred but we'll see)

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NOA2 APPROVED IN OCTOBER.. WAITING FOR NVC CASE NUMBER

 

I would like to ask if everyone here who got their NVC case number received text/email/ USCIS update from their portal that " USCIS shipped the case to NVC/DOS".

Yes i did, my petition was approved on octuber 23 and uscis update on november 6 saying tat my petition was shipped to nvc.
If you status doesnt change to shipped on uscis page that means that they arent sent the petition to nvc, even if in the noa2 they say that they sent.
When you status change to shipped on uscis 10 or 12 days later you can call to nvc and you will get your case number.

 
Thank you.






 

 

 

Thank you so much for the info, i will just wait for them to change it then.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NOA2 APPROVED IN OCTOBER.. WAITING FOR NVC CASE NUMBER

 

Hello. I called NVC today and I got my case number smile.pngsmile.pngsmile.png I'm guessing it got there either yesterday or today, as the lady said it wasn't there yesterday afternoon. 

 

The guy who gave me my case number said that they still need to update the file, which I'm guessing is the reason I get this message on the CEAC website...

 

At NVC (in big bold letters at top of mini page).

 

Immigrant Visa Case Number: LNDxxxxxxxxxx    

       

 

Please follow the instructions you received from the National Visa Center (NVC) for the next step in the processing of your visa petition. If you have misplaced the instructions sent to you by the NVC or did not receive them, please contact us athttp://travel.state..../info_3177.html for additional information.
 
 
 
Hopefully those who have a similar approval date to me get theirs soon too. smile.png

 

 

 

Congratulations :)


I called yesterday and they said they had received my case.

 

 

That is so cool :) Hoping to get your case number soon :)

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NOA2 APPROVED IN OCTOBER.. WAITING FOR NVC CASE NUMBER

Our petition was shipped last Monday so I thought I would ring DoS today to see if it had reached the NVC.

 

The lady I spoke with asked when it had been approved and said it takes a few weeks from there. I said I had an email that it was shipped on Nov 4th and could she please still check. She said it was probably too early to call as its been taking a month or so for them to receive petitions and get case numbers. She checked and said mine wasn't there yet.

 

I think I'm gonna ring at the end of today. She sounded like she was trying to tell me off for asking and I can't see how it would take a month for it to be received after it was posted on Monday? I guess I sound a little crabby because I see people with similar NOA1 dates who have already got their case numbers, and some have theirs ready at the embassy. I know I should be patient, but I don't see how this stage has hold-ups when NOA2s are happening very quickly for 90% of people. Shouldn't this be a simpler step?

 

*sigh* Rant over lol.

 

 

Oh you are from TSC too,   yes USCIS approved our petition so quick, didnt even expect it, but NVC is quite a bit of slow assigning case number, but glad yours was updated in USCIS portal and know that it was shipped to NVC. I didnt get that update, knowing there are people with the same timeline and center as mine got their status update :( i know i have to be patient :) sending good vibes for you and me this week.


Approved October 18th

Got an email saying shipped to NVC on November 6th

Sill nothing at NVC though....im guessing it should be really soon though

 

 

Good luck :)

USCIS was able to tell you when it was shipped?  Did you talk to a Tier 2 officer?  I called the other day and talked to a Tier 2 officer and they told me that they couldn't tell me anything.


I was approved on Oct 7th and still waiting for a case number.  NBC and Memphis field office.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionQuestion About Visa Interview
QUOTE (happyjoyjoy @ Apr 15 2009, 02:04 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Just wandering but b/4 you go to an interview does the Consulate Officer already have an idea on whether they're going to approve or deny your visa?


I think they might have some ideas, based on the paperwork/evidence that you submitted. Of course if something is out of order prior to the interview then they must know of what path their going to take during the interview. We were really meticulous with all the documents and evidence, and when Marco went to the interview they only asked him 2 questions and didn't look at any of the evidence or documents we presented. Infact when he went there, there was a couple going for their interview as well. They didn't fill out the Affidavit of Support and their visa was denied. I mean come on, the interviewer had to know before hand based on the documents submitted that they weren't going to walk out with their visas. I'm sure there are other factors to it as well. Country of processing, the mood of the interviewer, and such.

All I can say is just try to have everything is required, and then when you have all of that, check it four times, then double your evidence, then check it again!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionWhat to do about no joint taxes?
Hi there everyone! Wow this is my first post in forever! I recently logged back in to find out what hubby and I need to do about removing his conditions. We're about 6 months away from our "anniversary" and want to get a head start on anything we may need before we start panicking a month out lol! So I noticed that one of the big pieces of evidence that you need to supply is joint tax returns. My husband and I do not file jointly. Is this going to be a huge problem? Everything else is pretty much done jointly. Bank accounts, utilities, lease, auto insurance, etc. Anyone have success with no joint taxes?

Thanks!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionGetting ready to file! Few questions..
Hello there VJers!

So we're ready to dive again into this ocean of bureaucracy..

The countdown to the expiration of the GC started yesterday. So, as now we have 89 days to file. We saw on the forum that other couples sent the package earlier, although on the guide there's something that talks about the "appropiate: time to file: not too early but not too late.

So, what would be the right time to mail the package out?

Consider that we'll probably be able to mail out everything the next week, we'd have a trip planned in mid september. Will the USCIS send us a letter to prove the 1 year extension status soon enough?
Or will they update the extension straight on the GC so the custom can see it on their computers?

Thank you so much in advance for your help! :)

Guys, thank you so very much for all of your kind and helpful replies! Truly appreciated ;)

Me and my wife are "packing" right now, so tomorrow after work i'll stop by the post office to mail out the package to remove the conditions.

So we're going to fall into the "june filers" section :)

Again, thank you so much for all the help!

If I answer Yes on the medical for previous trouble with the law under the influence of alcohol am I going to receive a temporary suspension or ban and have to wait for a year etc while im rehabilitated?

 

Im inclined to try and lie if thats the case because its silly if the incidcent in name was 5 years ago and I am not an alcoholic, I rarely drink at all anymore, like 10 times a year.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionConsulate requiring Petitioner present at the interview (K1)

Do you know how quick the rescheduled interview could be? Is it another +50 days?


One of the people who had the interview last week, send a request saying that her fiance could be here sept 17th. They accepted. So not so bad i guess. Don't know if this is a rule or an exeption though.

enatalFemaleBrazil2013-08-26 16:01:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionConsulate requiring Petitioner present at the interview (K1)

Where is this information coming from? What can be done to confirm this before the interview? I'm sick with worry over this and have over a month before my fiancé's interview. As the USC can I email the embassy and ask if I have to be present? Would contacting a Senator or Congressman help? My recently finished vacation to Brazil to be with my fiancé was planned and taken around the fact that I didn't have to travel there for the interview. It would be very difficult to attend the interview but probably not impossible, but its still not something I want to do unless its necessary. Help! sad.png

 

This happened with 3 people from a group of Brazilian K1 I'm part of. For all we know they're doing this randomly, we couldn't find any pattern between them to justify the resquest. The embassy website says that the petitioner's presence is not required but it's always encouraged. Someone in hte same group had their congresman to call and they said that the petitions from k1 had increased lately and they're trying to make people to give up. What scares me the most is that we never heard of this happening before and only in august they've already done this several times. I have the feeling that if you email the embassy, they'll tell you the same as written on the website. So maybe ask for your congresman to do it for you maybe? We already asked ours and we're waiting for a response. I have a strong feeling that they will keep doing that without following a pattern just to make our lives harder. 


enatalFemaleBrazil2013-08-26 14:34:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionConsulate requiring Petitioner present at the interview (K1)

There is no large age difference right. .?

 

No, there were a lot of different cases, and no apparent reason for that. There was this girl that was in a 2 year relationship with her fiancé, they travelled to see each other, had TONS of evidence, and she had to cry and show the evidence herself cause the consul didn't even ask for it.

 

 

From the embassy website:

 

"On the day of the interview, the beneficiary (applicant) must appear in person at the U.S. Consulate in Rio de Janeiro at 7:15am. The petitioner's presence at the interview is always encouraged."

 

http://brazil.usemba.../interview.html

 

What amazes me is that they have never done that, they just started, like one month ago and it's not one or two people, it's like for 90% of the interviews!
