NOA2 for K1 on Aug. 21 and still no NVC notification. tried to use automated system with my WACxxxxx number and it comes up, unknow number. sent email but no response. trying to get through to operator but no success yet. thoughts / suggestions ?
thanks,

Gullyracer, you need to call NVC at 603-334-0700, press 1 then 5 to get an operator. It may take a few times to get through, but you will. Give them you WAC# and ask if they have your case. If they do, they will give you a new case number and tell you when/if they have sent it to the embassy. Good luck!

ooooo I know! There's a spot that I think you have to go to your control panel for and there is an avatar section or something. I can't look it up as I'm at work but I have two different pictures.


Thanks sparrow, that worked. Much appreciated.

Sorry for being off topic and this is kind of a lame question, but I have a picture in my profile yet it never shows on my posts. I've messed with the settings but I can't figure it out. Any advice?

Finally CSC sent our paperwork to NVC and NVC mailed it to London yesterday biggrin.gif
No touches, no nothing and we had to phone NVC to find out.

Hopefully things will start to speed up a bit once it gets to London

yes.gif yes.gif

Congrats and good luck on a speedy final leg of the journey...

Well I finally got sent from NVC today...woo hoo!

I've tried to set an interview appointment already, but apparently that loophole has now been closed and I have to wait until they receive it. I will try again Friday. Congrats to all those who have achieved milestones since my last post and good luck to all of those on the threshold. Have a great week!


Oooooh Congrats Deron!! From the looks of it all, it seems like we should have our visas soon! good.gif And since we all filed in April, that makes the whole process for the most of us here about 6 months... smile.gif happy.gif which is still not too bad eh? tongue.gif Just hate the waiting for NOA2 part still though.... mad.gif hehehe


Hey rambaldi!

Thanks for the congrats, one more step in the big game...

And I agree, there is no forgiveness for the NOA2 debacle, but nonetheless 6 months give or take isn't bad. It's very refreshing to think that this is almost over.

When do you find out about your interview date? Hopefully it will be VERY soon.

Take care!

Can you actually "set" an interview appointment yourself? I thought the embassy has to schedule it.


For Kyiv you actually set it yourself. You now telephone a callcenter, which costs money, and then they help you make the appointment. A filer more senior than myself told me to call as soon as I have my KEV# and set the appointment. I tried that, but now it appears that the case only makes it into their system when the embassy receives it. So alas I must wait for a couple more days and try again, since this time I pay for my impatience. blush.gif

Praise Jebus innocent.gif I finally made it to NVC. After 116 days waiting for my NOA2, it only took 36 days to make it from CSC to NVC, but on day 152 I feel amazing!!! All sarcasm and joking aside (hope no one takes offence to the Homer Simpson saying) I am absolutely stoked, I actually have my case number that I can use to get an appointment. I am going to call Monday and see if the call center will give me one without the embassy actually having the physical petition. I've been told this is possible so why not give it a shot. Anyway, have a great weekend and to all a speedy journey...

Congratulations Deron on finally making it to NVC!!!

Mel called yesterday and found out that they had already gotten it and sent it out to the Barbados Embassy. She was so excited that she forgot to ask when they received it or what the new case number is and with all the frustrations we get when trying to call, I've decided to check with the embassy next Friday. This is such a relief!!!

Thanks Daniel, I appreciate it. It feels good to finally be at this point. It's been a long haul so far, and each time we are right before an approval, it's our most difficult times. This one was a welcome relief, finally only one more to go! Good luck with your embassy inquiry, I hope you get a speedy appointment and a easy approval....

Have a great weekend!

Got interview date from the embassy website! What a nice birthday present. smile.gif

BTW as I had predicted, the interviews are scheduled faster now because of, apparently, fewer people in line for them after the April-July bottlenecks at USCIS.

Congrats Blues Fairy, great news... good.gif

Finally got an answer from CSC and my congressman. Though CSC said they were going to send it and that they did send it two weeks ago, it finally left on the 31st in the evening for NVC. Nakanyetza (finally in russian)!!! So at least it's not lost, but it took 4 weeks for CSC to get it in the mail after approval, not bad for the gov't. wacko.gif blink.gif So, now I actually have hope when I call NVC multiple times each day. helpsmilie.gif

I re-checked the website, and it still said they need to have the hard copy available to schedule the interview. I sent an email asking about if it was ok to proceed with the medical, and they sent me a canned response. So, I think we'll proceed with the medical within the next couple of weeks, and hope they have the file either then, or soon beforehand so I can schedule the interview.

Where are things at with your petition Deron? Is it at NVC yet? (I'm almost afraid to ask).

Still not at NVC, but what could one expect after only 33 days and a congressional expedite....

And I'd forget asking the embassy, just call the call center and make them tell you that you must wait. Odds are that they will not and that they will give you an interview appointment. I may be wrong, but I hope not for both our sakes...

Take care.

As I understand it, they MUST have the petition physically in hand prior to setting the appointment. That is from the Embassy Website. Do you know something I don't?

It would be nice to be able to make it however.


I was told by someone right before us to call Kyiv as soon as you have the number. Until March, when they used to set appointments themselves, they would check to make sure they had the physical app first. Now with the call center I believe they can't check and that a KEV# is all you need. That's the info I was given from what seemed like a reputable source...

Hope that helps.

Just called NVC this morning, our petition is still there. 10 Days as of today since they received it. So, the wait continues. I was told they normally take 2-4 weeks before being sent on. Great, more waiting.


Etripke, if you have your KEV# you can call the call center and get an appointment right away. No need to wait.

Rambaldi, I called again today and I was told that they contract the shipping out and that the system wouldn't say when mine was shipped. Funny, they said I had been shipped out when I called yesterday, I just forgot to ask when. Anyway, the guy is getting a supervisor to call the contractor and then call me back (fingers crossed, hope absent...). NVC says 2-4 weeks, I said it's been 29 days...do something....sorry, you just have to wait. My Congressman's visa gal is on vacation this week so Tuesday is the earliest I can hope for anything. Only a month and a day after approval...ludicrious. I'm so happy I got to see my sweetie this week, I'd be irate otherwise, especially seeing people approved well after me already on their way to the embassy. If I had applied two weeks sooner I'd be within weeks of seeing my honey, now it looks like months if everything goes great from here on out.

On a happier note, I hope everyone has a great long weekend. No matter what else is going on in our lives, the visa process alone makes us deserve this as much as anyone. Take care all...

Welcome back rambaldi. I was trying to follow in your footsteps with the original April thread. wink.gif I just lost interest in anything but post-NOA2 info, that's four months I'm glad are behind me.

To find my congressman I just did a google search. After I found his website, I called his local office and just told them the issue. They gave me there visa person and within no time the wheels were turning. I'm just upset I didn't call earlier. I actually did write the main email center of the Congressman early in the process, but I never got a response.


Hehe Deron I actually thought of creating an NVC to Interview thread too, but I'm glad you did it first! wink.gif

You're lucky you got a sympathetic visa person. So have you called the NVC after your call to your congressman? Does NVC have your petition now?


Rambaldi,

I just went over to visit my girl so I didn't try again until yesterday. As of then it still hadn't been received. Ridiculous.

Our case took over four months to get to NVC from USCIS. Although USCIS will tell you to file an application for an action on an approved case, you really don't have to pay a dime more than you already did. What happened with us, was it was stuck at USCIS for further investigations while they already mailed us a letter saying that the case has left for NVC.
We contacted our state senator regarding this issue, and they inquired for us, and told us this info.
A week later the case was forwarded to NVC.
how long after contacting your senator did it take
Thankyou

my wife has been waiting more than 2 months for case number to be assigned at NVC. We are thinking we will need to file a petition to request action on an approved petition. However the fee is over $300. It is USCIS job to send approved petition to NVC, if something happend to it in-transit i think its unfair to have citizens pay for it.
what is this petition called exactly and do you have to wait a certain amount of time to file

I have had 3 updates this week and none of them have been on a Tuesday or a Saturday.

What type of updates I keep calling to see if we are recieved by NVC yet.Sometimes I speak with I think a live person but they always have the same answer 2-4 weeks and up to 90 days .I am wondering if we are lost in the shuffle,so many others are passing us by which is good .we would just like to get in.

I was told that my notice that our petition had been sent to NVC was mailed.This is after countless call since ou March 12 approval.When we were told it was already forwarded and it was in the NVC's court to recieve it. On april 30 I noticed a touch by USCIS which obviously means it was still there.This gave me solid footing on todays inquiry.Hope it arrives soon we originally filed August 5 2008.

Thank you for the input. I just tried calling again and the computer does not accept receipt numbers that start with "MSC" as mine does. So it then transfers me to automated responses again. Any input is greatly appreciated.
