hello,
how did you know that your petition was sent to nvc?
and how did you get the MNL case number? wil Nvc give me a hard copy of the NVC case number?


You can find out by calling either the USCIS (to see if they sent it out) or NVC (to see if they've received it).

USCIS: (800)375–5283
NVC: (603)334-0700, Press 1 for English and 5 to speak to a Live Operator.

And Yes, NVC will give you a hard copy of the NVC case number. You can also ask them for it over the phone once they received your petition.

Good luck! good.gif

The RFE line is more helpful when I called. They were able to tell me that it was in the "Staging Area" waiting to be send out. It took 35 days for NVC to receive our case. Give the RFE line a try.

1-800-375-5283

Follow these prompts:

1, 2, 2, 4, 2, 1 Then enter your receipt number and press 1 to verify that it is correct. Press 1 again.

Good Luck!

One bad thing is they no longer allow you to come and pick up your passport at the Embassy anymore. You must wait for the courrier service to deliver it to you sad.gif

She took my name, number, email address and said although they usually wait 90 days to start a search for missing files, she would send an email to the mail staging supervisor as well as the approving officer to find out where the misplacement may have occurred. She said she will also send an email to a processing supervior and follow up with a call to him this week at NVC..we'll see. I told her that many approved up to a few weeks after me already have their cases at their emabssies or on the way. I'm trying so hard to be calm and patient, but I'm losing it a bit here.


The worst part about this is that they just give us the standard 30, 60, 90 days speech and there's nothing that we can do. This is already a stressful process and added further complications only make it worst. I hope they will be able to locate your case this week. Good luck my friend.

Congrats to all those approved who got to NVC and out so quickly..I'm happy for you all and extremely jealous.


What the heck??? sad.gif Did you ask the supervisor what's the next step, like send them another copy so they can use it to forward to the NVC? This is unbelievable! I would be on top of this and wouldn't give them all the time in the world to locate it. It's already bad enough you've waited this long for the NOA2. I sure hope they can find it ASAP.

afterforever, that would be great given that timeline. For me, realistically I'm looking at probably in Feb or March for the interview date. The only thing that concerns me is the expiration date on the NOA2, which is at the end of January. But I've read that they can extend it. It would be great if they can sneak the interview date for us in Jan too. I'm hoping for the best. eb0dfafc.gif

It sucks that after each hurtle you jump, you are forced to wait again. You would think the stress level
would decrease after getting your NOA2 but unfortunately that does not seem to happen. Each step brings
another period of wait and uncertainty. I will be so glad with this part of the journey is over.

Hang in there u2rsobad. I am sure NVC has your file. Good luck!


I agree and can vouch for that as I thought after getting our case to NVC things will move quicker. That's not the case, as I found out for some reason it takes HCM Conculate 2-3 weeks to receive it. There's always some kind of delays at every stage with our case. crying.gif

Yes, we got a touch when our case was sent out. Call tomorrow to see if they received it, but don't be too discourage if they say no because it may take a day or 2 for them to enter these cases into their system. Our case was received on 11/2, which i also called that day but they said they didn't have it. I called back on 11/5 and they confirmed it was in their system.

Mr2nice, did you receive a letter from NVC stating they had sent your petition to the embassy or did you call them?


I have not received a hard copy letter, however NVC sent me an email this morning to let me know that they received my case, gave me the case # and also let me know that they have completed the case from their side and any further request/inquiry should go directly to the Consulate in HCM. I think the hard copy letter should be arriving sometime this week.

I tried that tracking thing too...looks like you can't do it without a customer account number. Oh well! Hey, I have a question...has anyone else noticed "touches" on their USCIS website after they were sent to NVC? I noticed I had one on Friday...I thought maybe it's because that's when they sent my petition to Romania. No touch yesterday, but there was one today...I wonder if that means it's arrived there? I heard it takes on average three days to reach the embassy by DHL. I'm going to call there tonight and see! I'm so excited!!
Anyway, we are all getting closer! smile.gif


Musicgirl0912, I've gotten a touch this past Sunday (11/4) and our case was already sent out on 11/1. I also got a touch on 11/2, but that was due a call that same day. I'm not sure what's the 11/4 touch was about though.

How long is average timing to receive the hard copy of NOA2? I was approved on October 29 and did not receive my hard copy during the week. I also never received a confirmation E-mail, but my online case status shows approved on October 29.


Usually it's within 7 days after a case is approved. From following the VJ members here I've seen in some cases that a few did not receive their NOA2 hard copies so they ended up calling USCIS to try and get a replacement copy. USCIS will give you the "it can take up to 30-45 days" speech and ask you to call back after the 45 days mark. In some cases, they will tell you that it's going to cost you $ to get another copy. I don't remember the exact price, but I know it was insanely rediculous. I hope you will receive your NOA2 soon in the mail.
