It has been almost one week after the e-mail/text and I am already going bananas waiting for that letter... should I call USCIS to ask if they actually mailed it?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPacket 3 from Embassy in Algeria

Need a little advice....

 

NOA2 was approved July 10th, I called and received my number from Visa Center.  I have still not received the hard copy of the NOA 2 yet.....

 

Questions:

1>  how long does it take to receive the NOA 2 in the mail?

2>  is there a link to get the Packet 3 information ready for the interview?

 

Thanks bunches!!!!!

 

We were approved on the 26th of July and we stil;l haven't received the NOA2 in the mail either. I have called USCIS several times the past couple of weeks and all they can tell me is to wait til the 30 days after approval to call them and make a service request.

I will be calling them on monday the 26th.

We just got transferred to NVC.

 

On August 15, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow long did yours take?

We got our NOA2 over e-mail on the 28th as well from TSC but we did not get a hard copy either yet. I sope to a Tier2 rep and they notified me last week over e-mail that our case approval date was actually the 26th and that I must allow 30 days from the NOA2 (the 28th) to call them again and then they would send it again.

Besides all of that we did not get transferred to NVC yet neither... :(

That's great news Loran.

 

I called this morning and nothing. My case was transferred to NVC on 8/15, I'm really hoping to hear something by tomorrow.

I can't wait any longer this is worst that waiting for NOA2..

 

 

 

So stressful! I know you will get it tonight or tomorrow. Lets pray for that!

Ok I just received an e-mail from NVC saying that they have received my file and that they will send me (the petitioner) instructions within 6 to 8 weeks.

 

That was a response to an e-mail I sent on the 9th of August.

Heyy, I received an e-mail that my petition was sent out to NVC on Aug 9 and I was just able to receive my case number today!! I called everyday for the first couple of days, always with my hopes up to receive a YES, but they always said that my petition had not been found, so I just stopped calling and waited until today... I know it's easier said then done, but just give it another week! smile.png

 

Thank you for sharing your experience! I am keeping my hopes up! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDid anyone transferred on August 15 from TSC has been received at NVC already?

Well, no news for us either, August 15th transfer. My fiancé called yesterday the number Nurseling kindly gave us from the previous post and no case number for us yet.  The lady told to come back in one week (I am not sure we can survive that long...without a case number) lol... 

 

Hello there! I know how it is but I guess we need to acquire some kind of patience... I am happy we were transferred to NVC but it is very frustrating to call them and get a NO every time. And sometimes they are very rude. They turn kind of unpleasant when they ask me if I have the approval letter in front of me and I replay that I did not receive the letter yet. Then they tell me that when I have it they would be able to help me better. That for the moment there is nothing they could tell me. Ughhhh!

You are very welcome! They did not notify me of anything about sending me the NOA2 again but I guess it will arrive any time soon. :D So glad to know you are doing better! goofy.gif dancin5hr.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNo NOA2 hard copy yet (Almost a month since wwe got approved)

 I called USCIS this afternoon and asked for a tier2 and they told me the same story of 30 days... But the tier2 just called me back and she said I am the first person that says that has not received the NOA2 in the mail, and she asked me why I had not called them before and I told her how difficult it is to be transferred to a tier2. All she said was wow! I also referred to the visajourney forum and that there are so many people that were sent the electronic notice on the 28th that have not yet received the letter. 
She explained to me that it may be difficult for TSC to send the letter again since they have sent it to the NVC already and they do not have my file anymore. She also told me to contact DOS and ask them if they can send me a copy of the NOA2, of course when they have received it already...

So if you have not called USCIS waiting like me for the 30th day please do so... That is a lie and we may request for service whenever we need to.

For sure is much faster than that. In fact I also called today in the morning and the response was that the NVC didn´t have it yet, and in the afternoon was there. So it seems that our batch arrived during noon. The lady told me today that most likely tomorrow I could have the case number...I´ll try to call at night anyway. Keep u updated if I get a response.

 

Awesome!

 

Good luck with everything!

We are definitely in the same batch, I got the same response an hour ago, until what time the NVC is working? Could be possible to get the case number at night?

 

Congratulations!dancin5hr.gif

 

They work until 12:00am 

 

I called them and asked if they really had received the file and the lady said yes, but that there is no number assigned yet. It could take them 10 to 20 days to assign a case number, though for what I have seen it takes them way less than that. I would contact them tomorrow to see if they have already done so.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTransfer to NVC Aug 14, received NVC case number yet?

Transferred to Texas July 14 (notified by SMS, email, and hard copy)  I received approval by electronic confirmation on July 28 by SMS and email.  Still have not received NOA2 hard copy, and do not have NVC case number... calling NVC daily since Aug 9.

 

 

ok, roll call!  call out only those people who received electronic notification in July/August and were transferred to Texas, and more than a 3 week timespan before receiving NOA2 hardcopy and subsequently an NVC case number, or have still not received one or both.

 

 

We are in the same boat. I called USCIS regarding the NOA2 hard copy and all they can tell me is to wait until 100 days after approval have elapsed and that i=only then they could do something to help me, but that for now there is no action they can take on this matter, that those are the rules and that they cannot break them blah blah blah...

 

I also call NVC every day and they have not received anything yet, and they told it can take up to 30 days for them to receive it as well... I don't even know what to think anymore.


loranFemaleDominican Republic2013-08-21 18:14:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTransfer to NVC Aug 14, received NVC case number yet?

I think I am seeing a pattern here.  Seems that many who were transferred to Texas have not received an NOA2 hardcopy and also have not been assigned an NVC case number.  I am just speculating, but it seems logical that since Texas normally does not process i-129f petitions, and only handling overflow, perhaps our cases must be first transferred back to Vermont for actual processing and sending of NOA2 hardcopy before forwarded to NVC.  Can anyone confirm or refute my theory?

 

Well I haven't received the NOA2 in the mail from TSC, we were approved on the 26th, and my file was supposedly transferred on the 15th to NVC and they haven't got it yet. No case # :(

Whenever I call NVC they keep asking me if I have the approval letter in front of me and when I say no then they start treating me different, meaning not nice at all. People from the DOS are pretty nice but they do not have anything either...

 

What am I supposed to do?


loranFemaleDominican Republic2013-08-21 12:34:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTransfer to NVC Aug 14, received NVC case number yet?

I just called DOS and a very guy told me that my file is on its way to them but that they are having trouble putting all the petitions in the computer. Would that be the reason why it is so hard to get the number assigned?

 

He told me to call back later to see if it is in yet...

 

Should I call the NVC directly?

i just read this in another forum.

 

 

Steve

This is what I just received regarding your case.

 

Thank you for your Tuesday, July 16, 2013, email on behalf of your constituent, Mr. Chris XXXXX, regarding his pending Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e).

 

USCIS records indicate that Mr. XXXX?s petition was approved on July 3, 2013 and an approval notice mailed out the same day.  Once approved, it takes approximately 15 business days for USCIS to complete the administrative processing of the petitions before we can send them to the Department of State National Visa Center (DoS NVC).  I can see in the systems that his petition is in the final stages here at USCIS.  It should be forwarded to the NVC within the next several days or early next week. 

 

Ok! That is a reasonable answer from USCIS!

I got my NOA2 Aug 1st, called to NVC a couple of times after that day they didnt have my info yet so decided to wait and dont rush it and yesterday got an email from USCIS saying that they forward my info to DOS on the 16th to contact them if I have any question, now Im on the phone with DOS to see if they have my info yet. Lets see what happens..

 

Good luck!

 

Let us know if you get anything. :)

Hey loran surely the have given you a case number by now. We got ours yesterday. Which made 3 weeks after noA2 approval. They had just sent it to NVC. Was able to the log on to the CEAC site to track our file which is currently still at NVC. Hopping it will leave by Friday to London.

 

But one question. You got the case number from NVC or from USCIS? Because when I ask NVC with my original receipt number from USCIS they say they still don't have anything. :(

 

I will call again this afternoon... I hope to get something.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTransfer to NVC Aug 14, received NVC case number yet?

I hope they won't keep on their word (concerning 8 weeks) and process it faster.  I know some Embassies request a hard copy of NOA2, so we are wondering where to address such a request, to the service center that was processing our I-129F?

 

YOu should also call USCIS and ask them to re send it to you. Ask to speak to a tier2 representative.

Our NOA2 28th July from TSC was also sent on Aug 15th to NVC, does it mean we can bug them for a case number? I wonder has everybody received their hard copy of NOA2 as of July? or we are the only ones left?

 

We didn't receive the NOA2 in the mail yet either. I will be calling USCIS on monday to put a service request.

 

Also we were transferred on the 15th to NVC and i8t did not reach there yet. I just got off the phone with them.

 

The girl said it may take up to 8 weeks, but to keep trying.

Are there any other VSC TO TSC TRANSFERS WITH 7/24 NOA2 out there still waiting to be sent to NVC?

 

The is a lot of people from TSC that have not been transferred yet. And there are a lot that may have been transferred already but that never will get the notification for it.

 

We got transferred on the 15th and I have been calling everyday this week but they still do not seem to have anything for me :(

 

It is very frustrating and as a matter of fact I am determined to focus my attention in other matters, because I've been way too stressed with this immigration thing, which seems to take forever for anything. I have been calling USCIS to see if they can send me the approval notice again in the mail, which I havent yet received ranting33va.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAdministrative processing for K1 Visa at NVC?

 

Loran - Let's send some prayers up for each other and hope we get unstuck from NVC before the weekend! Perhaps they just have a large backlog of cases? Is there some sort of additional checks that they perform at NVC that you know of? I thought it was just them packaging it up and sending it off to the Consulate, sort of like a clearing house. 

 

That's what I thought, but then i read somewhere that they have a fraud prevention group that checks certain petitions to make sure they are not a fraud case.

So basically I have no idea of what may be happening with it. Either they are still putting stuff together or they chave chosen our files for fraud detection.


loranFemaleDominican Republic2013-09-05 13:59:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAdministrative processing for K1 Visa at NVC?

I am in the exact same position. We received NOA2 on July 29, and now NVC has had the case for at least 2.5 weeks. I have the case number. When I look up on the CEAC website tracker it says "At NVC". When I call NVC they tell me they are processing it, and it should go out soon. I ask them if they have any issues, or need any more documents from me and they tell me no. Everyone else's files seem to leave NVC within a few days to a week. This is really not only frustrating but also nervewracking. 

 

I am at a loss, should I do anything else, or just sit here and wait and check in everyday which doesnt really seem to be accomplishing anything?

 

Well, I guess we are really in the same boat!

I called again today... the same I do every day, but their answer never changes. "Your file is under administrative processing and it could leave at any time. K1 Visas are usually sent out quick.. blah blah blah...and that since visas are always available for these cases that is why we can't give an approximation of when the file could be sent, but it could be any moment"

I asked them if there is like an internal system in which they process this date and they are done and continue with the rest, but they told me no. And that it has nothing to do with priority date or anything...

 

I don't know what else I could do... I have e-mailed them, but no answer after 2 weeks.

I call them on a daily basis... I always get the same thing.

I check the status online... still says at NVC

 

And in addition to that the NOA2 issue is driving me crazy.... Now they want me to wait 15 more days.

 

I am fed up!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAdministrative processing for K1 Visa at NVC?

you sure your file is at NVC loran and not NRC. The problem is the transfers files were sent to NRC instead of NVC now they are having to go re- route them out of storage to send to NVC. This all just cos tsc is not too familiar with the procedure. Did they tell you it's with them and that you have gone in to AP? Or they stalling cos of they still trying to find the files in storage?

 

To be truth to you I don't understand what's going on, but they tell me at NVC that they have the file and they assigned a number and gave it to me. When I call DOS they tell me is at NVC in administrative processing also. We will see... someone told me it takes from 2 to 4 weeks to finish AP over there, but when I call NVC they are clueless.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAdministrative processing for K1 Visa at NVC?

I would be much happier if my case was in AP at NVC rather than be stuck at TSC for six weeks. At least you get answers at NVC. TSC s a darn black hole.

 

That's true. I know how it is to be stuck at TSC! I just love to call USCIS and they are always reading me the same thing I can read by myself online in their page. And then, when you ask for a Tier2 they either play you saying that there is no such thing as a tier2 or they say that they can not transfer at this moment blah blah blah... I was so happy when they send me that emial/text that they had approved my petition, but then I never got the letter in the mail, and then almost 3 weeks later they sent it over to NVC but took one more week to get there... and I saw people that got there the same day sent out to the embassy and mine a week later still says at NVC and when I call they tell me is in administrative processing and there is no time- frame of when this could be done... what if it is 2 months... I can't do anything for that and that is exactly what frustrates me more. I feel like I can't do anything! Helpless and hopeless
