On Saturday, I received a letter from the NVC that was dated July 30th, and it states they have my approved petition (I already knew that) and gave me my new KEV case number (I also knew that), and said it would be shipped to Kiev "within one week". I plan on calling back tonight! wink.gif

Additionally, I have received good news from my fiance. I have always wanted to attend the interview with her and fly home with her, but was afraid that I would not have enough vacation time to wait for the approved visa to be shipped to her house. I only have 7 paid days left and if it took 6 or 7 days to arrive to her small city, I would be in trouble. Well, she spoke to the FedEx desk in Kiev that handles the visa deliveries for the Embassy and they told her that we can pick it up directly from their office!! When we pay for the fedEx services, we are to give them our contact phone number and a note will be placed on it. They will attempt to call us twice before going ahead with shipping. They also said it would be good if we called them, as well, to make certain it does not sneak past. So, if the Embassy takes a day or two to process it after the interview (I really have no idea how long it takes, but the Embassy site said the visas are normally delivered in 2 to 4 days), we can stay in Kiev and pick it up and then travel back to her home. This will still give us about 4 or 5 days to pack and visit friends and relatives before heading back to Kiev for the trip to the USA! I know Sveta is so much happier and relieved to know I can be with her every step of the way. biggrin.gif



Nice one, cwaf - great to see it working out so well for ya. You know, I'm actually totally not arsed about chasing my petition thru NVC/Consulate; I know now, after that looooooooooooooong 5 month wait, that it's all in hand. yes.gif


Well, since we already have all of our documentation in hand, we are very anxious to get them here as quickly as possible, so for us, even one day seems important. smile.gif I guess I am just very anxious and too impatient now. whistling.gif

So I ended up getting two letters with different dates from the NVC as well. That's pretty strange. Anyway, I called them today and the operator told me that they have forwarded the case to the embassy as of Wednesday.

The DOS really does work fast.

Hi guys,
I know I am jumping right into the middle of the conversation here, but could someone please let me know if I am the only one who recieved NOA1 on Feb. 19th (or earlier) and still waiting for NOA2? I am at my wit's end. mad.gif

Hi Shaunsgal. I know DaminaP is still waiting from the 19th, and I was in the little club for the 19th NOA1, but I was approved last week. I hope yours comes soon!! I also know there are some others from before the 19th, too. It is frustrating, for sure, and more confusing as to HOW that happens.

NVC and CIS are both subdivisions of the DOS. smile.gif CIS used to be INS and they were their own agency.

Actually, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The Department of State (DOS) is at the same level as DHS. Both the National Visa Center (NVC) and the U.S. Embassies in foreign countries are under the DOS. smile.gif

That's why I've been saying that I'm happy I'm no longer dealing with the USCIS and am now dealing with the DOS.....at least until it's time for AOS (adjustment of status). smile.gif

Isn't it all perfectly clear? wink.gif

Actually the National Visa Center is a Department of State facility that supports the worldwide operations of the Bureau of Consular Affairs Visa Office. And as we all know the NVC processes immigrant visa petitions from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for people who will apply for their immigrant visas at embassies and consulates abroad.

Thanks! and Thanks to all who help out here. I think there would be SO MANY people completely lost in this process if it were not for the goodwill and goodwishes of the great members here at VJ. I salute you all and wish happiness forever! good.gif

Here is afternoon and we still don't have NOA2.



Nope, me neither - it's time to ring these guys. Now then, I dialled the following number: 800-375-5283. I was met with the usual automated bollox, and it just never seemed to end - what options do I need to press to get through to a human being at USCIS!!???

Damian..this is from someone else's post, but it should be what you need.

"Here is what I did to shake things loose. The keys are to [1] reach a correct person, and [2] speak USCIS's language.

Call 800-375-5283 , then hit 1,2,2,4,2,1; enter your receipt number; hit 1,1. (There is no need to wait for all of the recorded options to be read before you hit these buttons.) The recording will almost certainly say that "additional evidence is required," but don't necessarily believe it.

When the phone rings, you should be speaking with an actual Immigration Officer (not a clueless front-line screener who can tell you only what you already know). If the recording said that "additional evidence is required," ask the ImmOff exactly this: "Why does the recording say that I have a Request For Evidence?" He/she will almost certainly tell you that there's no record of an RFE; thank him/her profusely.

Then (or first), ask exactly this: "Will you please tell me exactly where in the Division my file is?" He/she will tell you. Then say exactly this: "I'm aware that several files received after mine have already been approved, and the USCIS website clearly says 'we process applications in the order we receive them.' Will you please send an e-mail to the floor, and ask the person at the ____ station [whatever the ImmOff told you] to please hand-carry the file to the next station?"

The ImmOff will appreciate your "speaking the language," because it is so different from the usual plaintive "do something!" that they hear all day, every day. The e-mail should at least cause one of the processors on the floor to handle your file, and your record on the USCIS Case Status website may soon reflect a "touch."

The procedures that I have recommended are worth it, and you should feel better afterwards. Depending on how long ago you have submitted your application (the longer, the "better"), you can repeat this process every 10 to 14 days.

Do NOT mention that you are part of an on-line community; this is not necessary, and mentioning it could hinder your success. However, feel free to post your stories on VJ! "

Good morning everyone, just got back from 17days with my SO in Germany and thought i would give an update. Well since receiveing the NOA2 in June , I haven't gotta anything else!!! I just called the NVC this morning (which took mutiple times to get through) and the lady on the phone told me I have to wait up to 90 days for them to get it from CSC. I have to go back to work tomorrow so that means 3 weeks without seeing whats coming in the mail because I won't be home. ranting33va.gif ranting33va.gif

That is odd because I think the NOA2 actually says it should take no more than 4 weeks. I do not have mine to look at right now, but I am pretty sure I read that yesterday. hmmmmm



Yeah it does say 4 weeks thats why i called them and told them. But they told me that it could take as long as 90 days to reach them. So o just have to wait.

I surely hope it is not even close to 90 days! That sounds insane to me. I would call them back again tomorrow, if I were you. I am going to call on my own in the morning, too. innocent.gif

hi everyone,

i just have question.... can i start gathering my docs..like tax receipts from IRS ..etc even without NOA2 yet?? I got a RFE email on july 22 and i mailed the docs as soon as i got the snail mail( actually same day i got it). i logged on the USCIS website if they touched me today..i didnt see any changes yet! But the postal servise sent me an email confirming that they delivered my mail! I'm trying to think positive and hope my NOA2 is coming soon. It wouldn't hurt if i start getting the docs isn't it????

ps... ..congratulations to all who got their NOA 2 recently!!! and for us who are still waiting..let's just hang on and keep praying!!! our time is coming soon!!! we are in a better position than sunnybear who's #1 in igors list!! if she could wait this long..we can too!! i hope her NOA2 will come soon!!

I gathered all of my information and sent it to Ukraine before our NOA2 was granted--about 3 weeks before. Not much information will have changed during the time difference, and I just sent the most recent paycheck information. My tax forms will not be different, and I am still employed at the same location for the same number of years. I think it is fine to be completely prepared ahead of time. blush.gif

That is the number on my NOA2 letter that arrived today. They said the hours are between 8am and 6:45pm EST. Supposedly you are should be prompted to enter the receipt number from the approval notice. I have not tried calling since my letter just came today. I hope you can get through!

Just an update here:

I called the NVC and talked to some dude. They have my case now and have given me their case number. He said that the cases aren't here very long...yadda yadda...and that they send them out to the embassy very fast.


Great news! I see that I am about 3 days behind you so NVC should have mine too. I am kind of scared to ring them.


Hmmmmm I just rang NVC, spoke to a nice lady, and she said they have no record of my CIS receipt number. I guess that means that it hasn't arrived with them yet. I sort of wish I didn't know that... I have read too many post about petitions getting lost en route.

well, I guess that means it is way too early for me to call them since my NOA2 email was on the 22nd. :-( Patience is VERY difficult throughout this process!

Hi Miss Yoko and Damian! I hope this is YOUR WEEK!!! I want the members of the Feb 22nd club to all be FORMER MEMBERS of that club!! :-)

For those who did receive their NOA2: did your profile get updated any further after the notice of NOA2? I just looked at mine and the CRIS email came to me on the 22nd, and the message says they mailed my NOA2 on the 22nd (I think I should get it today since it did not come on Saturday) but I saw my case was last updated on the 23rd. I am wondering if that means they scanned it before shipping it. And when the NVC works on it, is the case updated anymore online? I want to call the NVC either today or tomorrow to see if they have my case, hoping they are almost ready to ship it to Kiev, too! But if the status online is updated as they complete their end of things, I may hold off on calling. What do you think?
Everyone--have a GREAT WEEK! biggrin.gif

I emailed to the Kiev Embassy today to ask some questions, and one was how far out they are scheduling at this time. I honestly did not expect a reply today since my last two emails took a week each to respond to. However, they replied and answered my questions and informed me that right now, they are also two months out on interviews! That is crazy! If things go on their schedule, it will be October before they can be with me!!!

I just checked the official USCIS site for the CSC center and they say they are only working on January 17th applications! We all know that is not correct, but that also indicates that any that were filed before January 17th should already be completed or in processing now. I did a quick scan of Igor's list and I did not see anyone that had filed before that were still waiting, so maybe at least THAT part is correct. blush.gif


Not to be a downer...but I think only checked the "within processing times" area. If you scroll down there is a section for "Still waiting for NOA2 from CSC K-1 I-129F up to 3 months beyond the CSC processing time (2008-01-17):" and there are quite a few people still in there. I know there are still some people who are actually waiting from last year, too. Regarding CSC's processing times, they will never give any processing time of less than six months. It's CAP (Corporate A$$ Covering).

You are correct! I did not scroll all the way down. I wonder how many of those listed in that section have called to find out what is going on. I had not thought about it before, but I am sure you are correct about CAP, too! yes.gif

For those who are still waiting like me... how you deal with that?
I try to make me busy as possible, but I can't get it out of my mind.... sad.gif
right now i'm in the ... "angry" mood... but...
You know, it kills me... so bad.

Most of the CSC filers get approved in an average of 130 days (I don't gonna to talk about VSC or i will become insane)... why we have for some of us to wait more than 150 or 160 days?

The way the service centers are working is just so unfair.
I mean, when i go in vacation, i don't let open case.. or if i can't finish some stuffs I give it to my co-workers.

I don't understand that some petition have to wait because adjudicators are in vacations or sicks ... or lazy... I don't know.

I don't understand why march filers got approved before some February filers... uscis says that they works on petitions in order... its not true and it makes us feel just so bad.

i just want my approval, please csc get a heart!!!!


I deal with it by trying to use a little humour, like creating the now legendary "last touched on the 22nd February" club of which you and I are founder members, Miss Yoko laughing.gif


Hey! I am a charter member of that club, too! blink.gif


You certainly are, cwaf, you certainly are! I wonder which one of "the club" gets done first? cool.gif

It would be nice if all of us were approved the same day! ;-)
