USCIS Service CentersApproval email duplicates




Ok so I open my email this morning and see an update on my case status. I'm thinking YAY we're being sent to NVC. I open it, and it's three more approval notices. Same exact notices I got last wednesday. Has this happened to anyone else?



yes, it happened to me. but our case didnt received from nvc :( it is almost 3 weeks since we gout our approval notice from uscis. my fiance called the nvc and the operator said that they didnt recieve it yet and as soon as they get, they will send us within 90 days :) can you believe it? it is more than nebraska. i think nebraska was good but nvc is not. i dont know what am i foing to do except waiting. our lawyer will prepare our papers for the next step.

how will i know whether they receive. i think they will frowrod my case to my country but we wont know that. that is my situation for now.

:(


Did you get a notice saying that they shipped your case to NVC yet? I got one saying it was approved May 3, then another about a week later saying it had been SENT to NVC May 9. So I'll be calling wednesday.




Yes, I did. And my fiance called them today again and they recevied our case FINALLY. It was almost 10 days since the approval i get. I was wondering what is going on there. Because when my fiance called them for the first time, they said that it will take 90 days to ship this case as soon as they get. Fortunately, it didnt happen. What about you? Did they get your package? Did you call them? You should, eventually you will get some information from them.

I will pray for you :)) Good luck.


I plan on calling tomorrow since that will be 2 weeks from when they said it was shipped. Wish me luck

Is anyone else as crazy as I am??? I know I have at least 5 more weeks to go but I find myself checking the USCIS web site 3 or 4 times a day!!!! I don't know what I expect to see but I still do it! I work midnights so I sleep in the day time. I find myself waking up at least twice a day to just go and check!!! Help me I am obsessed!!!
I will be glad when I get NOA2 so I can stop this obssessive stuff. No wait, I will probably set a timer and count down the days until the interview then....... OMG I NEED HELP!!!!!!! :P



You're nto a lone, I work days, yet here it is 2:23 am and I'm sittign here checking VJ. KNOWING USCIS hasn't updated anythign in the last...oh we'll say 5 hours, I still check it 2 or 3 times a night. Hang in there, we crazies will get through this process oen way or another

Stella,


You got an idea of the craziness that seem to slip into one's head waiting for this damned approval. Waiting for the FBI backdround check sucks because it is so opened ended. I not a quitter, but I worry they will just seat on the visa and not do anything on it. I heard Aussie say they can even though there is not anything written. They should a least tell us if we are approved or disapproved. Then at least you can file an appeal. I know I have some things in my closet I was not even aware of. Nothing I read says it is grounds for to deny. Well I guess I am going crazy and ranting. So forgive me. Thanks so much for the kind thoughts.

Scott :)


WOw, well here's hoping you get SOMETHING soon. We're all wishing hoping and praying for you.

Good news and bad news, embassy has our paperwork, and they're sending packet 3 "soon". Bad news is...

..." please do not expect an interview date until july or august"

I'm assuming since august is in there, that means at LEAST, late july :( but we're still patiently waiting. hopefully soon.

Don't feel bad, they don't have mine yet either. And it's been 10 days since NSC said they sent it. 16 since the noa2.

Well all they ever ask me is the case number...that's it. 3 calls so far and nothing else. So they wouldn't even know that I'm the petitioner and not the benificiary. either way, you have every right to know. I vote CALL
misskiyaFemaleFrance2006-05-18 21:44:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC typo's?
Anyone ever heard of this? I called this morning to check on the status of our case. I know it's only been there since Friday but, well you guys understand. And now I'm glad I did. He told me it's just finishing up in "quality control" and he'd like to check some information. His exact words were "I'm sorry, but I'm assuming you're the petitioner and were by no means born in 2006?"

QUOIIIIII?

Now I need to Fax my birth certificate to the NVC to have it changed before they can finish quality control or whatever they do on it. I mean it's a small delay, I can do that from work, but still. Ouch. The guy was really nice about it though, and even asked me if I'd been reading visajourney or (can't remember the name of the other group he asked about) since I was calling in to check after 1 and a half days. lol. I suppose he hears about us alot.

Anyways this ever happened to anyone else? What kind of delay are we expecting? Should I have them check all the other info on my case?

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC does not have our case
Ugh this is an even worse wait. NOA2 May 3rd. Shipped to NVC May 9th. Have called every day for a week and nothing. But this morning's operator was hilarious. she said "You know, it may well be in the building, it just takes so long for processing dept to get them in the computer, half the time they're half way to the embassy before we get the case number logged. I bet it's around here. Call me in a week And if there's nothing by then, I'll go find it k?" Still quoted the 2-4 weeks to get there. Dunno what the 90 days is about :unsure: but since Isil got hers 10 days after her shipping notice, maybe I'll check again tomorrow to see if they got it today :D

National Visa Center (Dept of State)One More NVC question
They should have given you your new case number when they told you they recieved the petition. I'd call back and get it. Also the USC will recieve a notice via snail mail around the time the petition is forwarded to the embassy. Hope this helps. Good luck!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionWhat's the fee for Paris?
I believe it's a "processing fee" of 100 DOLLARS, american. So the equivalant in euro. But I'm sure when my fiance comes hoem from work, he can answer for sure since he's going through this consulate too.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionMedical Argument
Also was told that they test for *THAT* dirty dirty #######. Mine is going through France but, we've still had this argument. You're not alone. I actually managed to get mine to quit a year ago. ('m allergic, deathly, and so is my daughter, you want to be with me, it has to go). But he stays with his friends while they smoke it, so second hand. Don't feel alone in this one. Just beat into his head that 3 years is a LONG time.
misskiyaFemaleFrance2006-05-24 19:57:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionMore than one I-134??
I was advised by my lawyer (not knowing how trustworthy he is at this point) to fill out an I-134 for myself, and then have my co-sponsor(s) fill out a seperate I-134. I don't think they'd have a PROBLEM with it. If it's too much, ok. It's not having ENOUGH that seems to be the problem as far as information goes. We haven't gone to the consulate yet so not 100% sure. But there's my 2 cents. Hope it helps.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionwhat the hell with Paris embassy ??




I think it is a little early to panic just yet. If it was sent on the 23rd it probably took anything up to 5 days to arrive which takes you to just a couple of days ago.

If the Paris embassy is like any other then the chances are that it takes a little while for them to open the mountain of mail they receive and put it in the system to show they have received it



yes it's true it's early to panic I'm just a bit disapointed cause they didn't even ask me my case number to take a quick look I thought that wasn't realy nice. :(



the same thing happened to me when I called Dublin-they said they weren't sure if they had it-a week later my man had packet three. I would ring them again in a few days :yes:



here in switzerland is the same problem with the calling of the us embassy. it is very expensive and they charge per minute. once i called them, the person told me, they only know infos about visas, but themself are not people from the embassy themself. so, they got no idea about a specific case. so, what i have done then, i ve sent them a e mail, i guess u should find one on the us embassy site in the internet. i get always a response after about 3 days. and, they definitley can tell u, if they got it. so try to e mail them. it might be there already! who knows.... keep cool... i wish we where on this stage already... :(



The only problem with email is that as far as we can find out, Paris consulate does not accept email inquiries. Which is...lovely ...to say the least.

Any advice on filling out the papers for Paris? Am hoping for him to send them tomorrow and have no more delays.



Congratulations misskiya :D It is great news. Good luck to you

No actually the case number that paris needs, is the one you get from NVC. It should start with "PRS2006"

We'er going through Paris as well. We sent our Packet 3 on the 7th of june, and got our interview letter yesterday. Interview set for july 20.

Also Paris does not accept email inquiry, at all. So you'll have to keep faxing. If you'd like the fax number, pm me and I'll see if we can find it.
