National Visa Center (Dept of State)For January/February 2007 filers...

It took a total of 7 days (including Sat. & Sun) for our case to get to NVC. It left for Ethiopia 4 days after that. You might be at NVC already, the automated system would never accept my WAC number. When you call you MUST speak to a live person, they can tell you about your case and the new NVC number. Also, inorder to reach a person you have to go through the automated system you will have to hold, if your hold is deemed too long by the system it will tell you to call back later and hang up on you. Best to call very first thing in the morning or near closing. Even after I spoke with someone at NVC and had my new case number I still coud not get info from the automated options.

Also, NVC is supposed to send a letter saying the received the case and it was forwarded to the XYZ embassy. I still have not recieved that letter (or my NOA2!). You can e-mail NVC too. It took them 3 days to reply to me, but wasn't a generic response- it answered my questions.

-DA

I was just wanting to get an idea about how long it takes for CSC to mail our packets to NVC. I am still waiting for them to receive mine. Does the NVC send an email or just a letter via postal mail?

Thanks!



Each time that I have called the NVC was to speak with someone. I am assuming that my case is in transit to the NVC being that the last touch from USCIS was on May 29.

Hello
Once NVC recieves it...they are QUICK to DHL it. I remember being in your situation...it took a couple of weeks for NVC to recieve the info from CSC and both places were helpless.....you should recieve a notice when it leaves the NVC...I did.

I must have called both places everyday....acting like a mad woman....because I did not understand why no one had no info :) Whew.....brings back memories :) Just know that once NVC recieves it....it should be a piece of cake from there.....good luck and best wishes :)



Thanks! I am transforming into a mad woman now! lol :wacko:

They never sent me a letter stating when our case was mailed to the embassy. I did email NVC and they emailed me back letting me know that the case was mailed to the embassy. So, if you just received your hard copy of NOA2, your case will probably be mailed to the embassy by the end of this week or beginning of next week and then the long wait for pkt#3. 30 days to receive a pkg from a two hour destination by car ( Kingston to St Elizabeth) is just unheard of to me. That would have taken 2 to 3 days here.

Good luck with everything.


Gosh I hope so! *crossing fingers*

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Made a little mistake on DS230 should I fill it out again?
QUOTE (khanshahid @ Aug 23 2007, 02:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi,
I filled my DS-230 and sent it to my wife in the US. She recieved it today and noticed that on number 20 where they ask you list all the places u have lived it says to begin by listing your present address and I made a mistake and wrote it the other way around - meaning oldest first and present last. Do you think I should fill out the form again and send it to her? i dont want to do that since it will waste a lot of time and I listed the dates next to all places so the NVC should not have a problem figuring out which came first. My wife suggested using white-out and changing the whole section but then the entire form is filled out by me and her writing is completely different. Any suggestions as to what I should do? Should just leave it? will it cause a problem? I need to know quickly we want to mail it out tomorrow.



I have heard whiteout is a no-no! it's probably better to re-do it and send it to her again. That's what I had to do with the forms and then I had to re-mail them to Jamaica! Better to be safe than sorry!

Wow. My wife and I are incredibly happy and want to thank the VJ website and all of the people that participate in this community. A special thanks to Peter from the "Colombia Club" for helping --- we never did recieve any Packet 3/4 (poor mail system) and his advice was very valuable in making Sendy's and My VisaJourney a success.

Sendy and I truly appreciate everyone's help and thank you from the core of our hearts. We wish all of you success in your VisaJourney!

Take Care,

James

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPolice certificates

Ok. Here's our situation. We are planning to pursue both the K3 and CR-1 visas...primarily trying for the CR-1 but if it gets hung up some place we will just get the K3 instead. It appears that we need a police certificate for each of these visa paths (one to send to the NVC for the CR-1 path and one to take to the interview at embassy if we go the K3 path). The problem is, the issuing body in Ukraine got upset when she said she wanted 2 original copies and refused saying we will be lucky to get 1! Reason being, they supposedly only have about 2000 sheets of the paper it must be printed on to last them the entire year! So my question is...do these definately have to be original copies?



To my understanding yes, or at least certified copies. Good luck!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCalled USCIS Today

On my visa journey timeline page it states my I-129F may be adjudicated as soon as May 26,2007. If this date has passed by more than ten days you might consider calling USCIS. When I called them they said I should wait six months before calling. That is when it is considered late by them. I told her that I have seen others that filed after me and have been approved. She said somecases are approved quicker than others.
Why does visa journey tell me to call if I am told to wait six months before calling by USCIS?

How do you post your timeline in the forum?

My I-129F and I-130 have been aproved on 05/24, which I was notifeid by email, but have not yet received NOA2.
I called NVC today and they have not received my case from CSC...
Hopefully NVC will receive my case soon but this kind of delay in administrative work is always very frustrating even I know they are slow.
I know US Tokyo Embassy is well operated so I want my case to be forwarded to the consulate asap.



I am in the same boat, approved on the 24th and not at NVC. *sigh*

US Embassy in Jamaica to temporarily close in December
published: Friday | November 17, 2006


The Visa Unit and American Citizen Services Unit of the United States Embassy in Kingston will close temporarily during next month as part of the move to its new location in Liguanea, St. Andrew.

The U.S. Embassy said yesterday it would close temporarily to the public for at least part of the week of December 11-15.

"The days closed will be kept to a minimum consistent with a successful move into the new facility," the embassy said in a statement. "Exact dates and times for the temporary closure will be announced soon."

At the same time, the embassy said it was reminding all non-immigrant visa applicants to plan ahead and schedule visa appointments well in advance of anticipated travel.

"This is especially important for those who wish to travel during the upcoming holiday season," the statement said.

Emergency services

Emergency services for American citizens will continue to be available without interruption. American citizens with a bona fide emergency should call 935-6044.

The U.S. Consular Agency in Montego Bay at St. James Place on Gloucester Avenue, telephone 952-0160, will remain open for services to American citizens. Public hours at the agency are 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for American and Jamaican holidays.
