USCIS Service CentersTransferred file from vsc to Texas got touched today!!!!!!

I just got this too. Makes me feel a bit stupid as we've just sent another letter off to our congressman saying about training people at Texas! Now I have no idea where our petition is?!

 

 

Well it said it was sent to a local office. You can search the field offices in your state here. But we just have to wait for that letter in the mail to be sure exactly where.  ClockWatch2.gif

I used these instructions: http://philippinefia...l-tracking.html

There are also threads on VisaJourney with the same info. Just search for DHL Tracking.

 

If that is correct this would be yours: http://www.dhl-usa.c...&AWB=7570686642

Based on a July 18th ship date from NVC to Germany.

 

I don't know how people found out about this tracking or how accurate it is.

 

Just tried this method! Worked perfectly package was signed for and is at the consulate!! Wonderful. Thanks for this link.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)The Waiting room for fiancé visa case number is it 10 days or 20

 Just checked the status of my petition on the NVC site. It now says "Ready" 

 

 

"Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at:http://travel.state..../info_3731.html"

 

Does this mean the petition has arrived at the consulate!!!!? biggrin.png

When did you get the notice that your case was sent to DOS? 

 

Did you call DOS or NVC for your number? 

 

 

Got notice it was sent to DOS on the 16th of July. Called today and had my case number ready.

Just got off the phone again with NVC. Was told its not always the case that our petitions are sent immediately to the NVC. The operator said it can take up to 8 weeks. She told me they usually receive files in bulk on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. Still no case number for me.

 

meh.


Eric-WulanMaleIndonesia2013-07-15 09:18:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)The Waiting room for fiancé visa case number is it 10 days or 20

June 19, 2013 approval for i-129f. Vermont to Texas transfer. Trying to find out what the status of our paperwork is:

 

Called USCIS this morning.

First forgot to ask for a Tier 2 so the first tier officer told me that it is automatically forwarded to NVC once approved.

Called back after a few minutes to get a Tier 2 officer. Just got off the phone with him. Asked if he was able to tell us when our paperwork would be going to the NVC. He asked me to read what is on the NOA-2. I read it: "The above petition has been approved, and forwarded to the listed consulate." He mentioned it could take up to 2 months for the paperwork to be sent onto the consulate because of the courier service that is used. I asked if this was going to the NVC at all. He asked me to read the paperwork again.

So, i guess we are still waiting to find out where our paperwork will surface next...

 

 

Makes no damn sense! I cant stand how they continually jerk us around. From what I know approved petitions do not go straight to the consulate even though it says so on the hardcopy NOA2. I tried e-mailing the NVC which is supposed to be the quickest way to get a response and I have yet to be emailed back in regards to my case number. I put all the necessary info in the email and still nothing. Calling I get rude operators who seem to be tired of answering questions. It's been three weeks it shouldn't take that long for our petitions to arrive...ugh..


Eric-WulanMaleIndonesia2013-07-15 09:03:00

yeah on the uscis site it says NVC or Department of State? Whats the difference?


Eric-WulanMaleIndonesia2013-07-11 21:50:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)The Waiting room for fiancé visa case number is it 10 days or 20

Yea, that's what mine says.  I tried contacting the consulate in India but they were no help.  Just waiting.

 

 

reading some other threads about this. Seems that the forwarded to consulate line is just another way of saying its gone to NVC to then be sent to the consulate. And although our petition maybe at the NVC time varies for how long it takes them to issue a case number.....bummer...

 

waiting...phase 2....ClockWatch2.gif


Eric-WulanMaleIndonesia2013-07-11 18:28:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)The Waiting room for fiancé visa case number is it 10 days or 20

Did you receive a notice that it has been sent to Department of State?

 

 

Got my NOA2 saying my petition was forwarded to the 'listed consulate' but no consulate was listed. Ad when I called a second time the operator told me all I-129f cases must go through the NVC. Has anyone else had that on their NOA2 is it accurate? Do petitions get sent to consulate directly sometimes???


Eric-WulanMaleIndonesia2013-07-11 18:18:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)The Waiting room for fiancé visa case number is it 10 days or 20

Called NVC again. My petition is still not in the system and it's been over two weeks. The operator on the phone told me to wait up to 8 weeks!! He also told me that all i-129f petitions go through the NVC. Even if my NOA 2 states it was sent directly to consulate.


My case has been approved for over three weeks as far as the website is concerned....now its in a black hole...no realtime monitoring like a FedEx shipment.....

 

 

Yeah now there is no tracking or anything to check besides calling them everyday. So frustrating.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)The Waiting room for fiancé visa case number is it 10 days or 20

Just got off the phone with a operator at the NVC who sounded as if she was fed up with her whole life...after rudely 'asking' what I wanted I gave her my receipt number and she told me it wasnt in the system. I asked her if cases were ever sent directly to the consulate as my NOA2 does not state it was sent to the NVC...she told me "I don't know how to help you with that." and hung up. Good to see these gov't workers are as chipper as ever. Hopefully next time I'll reach someone livelier.

US Citizenship General DiscussionUS Citizenship after just 3 years

You would have to be married at least 3 years by the time you had your GC for 3 years because the marriage came first, then the GC. So, if you've had your GC for 3 years, you would have been married longer than that.

Don't forget.... you also have to apply for the 10-year GC before Naturalization.


Oh I know, I can't apply for Naturalization until 2009! Maybe I thought the whole process takes about 7 years and that's where that number came into my head. I was told about this today, ad am in process of I-130 for my daughter(age10), so they said I could upgrade that case when I become a Citizen, if it's still pending, but my husband (USC) applied so all is irrelevant!
giraffemoonNot TellingScotland2007-01-16 18:50:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionUS Citizenship after just 3 years

It's not actually 3 years from your marriage. You can apply for Naturalization 3 months short of the 3-year anniversary of you getting the GC.

Check the date on your GC and you can apply up to 3 months before the 3-year anniversary date.


ohhh they told me different and on the form they gave me it says a "lawful perm res for 3 years and married for 3 years, like they have to go hand in hand"

Either way this is great news, because I really thought it was 7 years for some stupid reason!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVSC - New Processing times
I just called the 800 number again and spoke to another woman, she basically told me the same thing about not being able to put in a service request, she then told me to hold on while she transferred me to an officer. I spoke to the officer who put me on hold like 20 times and kept asking me if I was sure I didn't cancel the petition (umm yeah I think I would have remembered doing that) then finally he put in the service request! So now I have to wait 30-45 days for a response from vsc.

OK - turns out there is a way you can contact VSC directly. I was shocked, a member on another post explains the sequence.

Call the standard national service center line (800) 375-5283

Then do the following:

Option 1
Option 2
Option 1, enter receipt #
Option 1
Option 3, wait for "If our system"
Option 4
Then hit option 6 (expedite option) - this will send you directly to VSC.

You need to be patient - it takes about 20 minutes to reach a live human. But hey, we are all experts on patience on this site, right?

I finally spoke with a person who was helpful. She said the dates they are working on right now for the I-129F K-3 is April 2 (not that idiotic Feb 1 that is posted on the USCIS website). My NOA 1 is 4/4, so she said that they should be getting to mine very soon. My advice to those who have an NOA 1 (for the I 129-F K3) earlier than mine - call VSC directly, you're gonna get nowhere with the national help line.

Good luck.

Got my RFE in the mail tonight. Yes, TONIGHT! I am drunk!
Went to work, had my Greek lesson for 2 hours and met a good friend for dinner and drinks.
I staggered home with a cup of coffee in one hand, my brief case slung over one shoulder and a bag of books with umbrella hanging from one arm. Got in the front door and found my RFE. Yes, it's the IMBRA one, in blue, no return envelope. Mailed 6/20/06 stamp.
Want to know how we met (if with a marriage broker), if I have been convicted of a felony, blah, blah, blah.
Yes I will sign it in the morning, make a copy and send it off tomorrow.
Happy to have this part done.
Still waiting for the other papers for the 1st RFE.
Starting to doubt my relationship.
Don;t know if I can handle my fiance's lack of responsibility to do his part in the process.
I have been waiting 2 months for his papers and I keep getting "relax, it;s in the mail, don;t stress:.
I am very angry with him right now.

If you didn´t get another e-mail saying a second RFE was coming, then it might just a system glitch.


Could be. I just need to wait and see if I get something in the mail. The post said that they mailed me an RFE on June 19th. :whistle:



Hey,

Your old RFE was related to somethings u were missing..this new new one ur getting is the new one (IMBRA), every1 is getting that one...so dont wrry :-)

Did u go to mykonos?

I'm 1 step closer...my MO got cashed!!!! Never been happier spending $170!!!


Hey that's great!!!
My old RFE from 4/28 needs his final divorce decree from church and courts in Greek and in English translation. Still waiting for them in the mail.
So, this second one sounds like the IMBRA one.

One last question, when you got touched today, did they state in the cases status that they sent something today? or does it still say that it was sent yesterday?

´Cus it could be just a normal touch, we´re all getting it.


This is what it says:

Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status:

On June 19, 2006, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case. The notice explains in detail what additional material is needed. If you have questions about the notice, what is required, or if 30 days have passed and you have not received the notice. Please contact the service center where you submitted your application during business hours.
