National Visa Center (Dept of State)STUCK @ NVC for AP
We were on AP at NVC level last year for about 40 days, if I remember correctly. We were told that occasionally petitions are ' randomly pulled ' and put into more checks. Then once our case was forwarded to the Embassy, we spent another 6 months in AP .
NVC does not have to power to deny cases.

You're welcome! It's been around for a long time, but a good read.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)What are the odds of getting stuck in AP??
QUOTE
What are you worried about? If this is your reaction so far you're going to have a tough time ahead of you.
Relax!
You're doing wonderful NOA2 in 47 days and your case is headed to the consulate!
Call to verify the consulate received the hardcopy, then follow the procedures for the consulate to get your interview date.

The interview will be your real critical moment, proving a legitimate relationship and that one continues.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)K3 stuck in AP at the NVC
We are a K-1 who got held up ( randomly selected ) at NVC for a bit over 40 days. We spent 6 months in AP after the interview, but this was Cairo Embassy. So yes, it is very possible you will have to go through another AP / AR after your interview.

We sent in all copies, and wrote, signed and dated a statement something to the effect that we are submitting copies, and if originals are requested we can provide those. Apparently, copies were sufficient.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)UPSET WITH NVC!
Unfortunately, you have to comply with what they are asking for, whether you agree or not. Get the pictures and send them . Perhaps some way, somehow they got lost. It happens.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)pppppppp
The USC should receive a letter from NVC stating your approved petition is at NVC, and usually the standard letter will say that within a week your petition will be forewarded to the appropriate visa issuing post where your interview will take place and that then the beneficiary will be getting packet 3. Other than that, it is doubtful NVC would send the Petitioner another letter saying it was shipped out and reached it's destination. Your best bet would be to E Mail the Embassy and inquire, or call NVC.
NagishkawNot TellingEgypt2007-08-26 06:27:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)how do we know NVC receives petition?
Call them:


1 603 334 0700
press 1 then press 5. Call early in the morning, be ready with the beneficiary's name and DOB, and conformation of your name and phone number. Also, give them your receipt number.

Jim_Mila,

Has your petition been sent out yet?

Jim_Mila,

It is stationed at NVC . It has not moved from that location since the last 39 days.
Whenever you call NVC or DOS, it would be a good idea to keep a log of the day and time that you made your call.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Who else is going through AR at NVC?
Turboguy,

When I called NVC about that very same question, the answer that was given me was since our petitions are not at the Embassy yet, the time limit does not kick in. It only takes effect once your petition is sent over to the Consulate.
Now, I do not know what to believe after reading your post. I think it would be safe to do as you recommended, so thank you for that.

Have you tried calling NVC? ( 1 603 334 0700 press 1 then press 5 ) Have you E Mailed the Embassy?
Did you try contacting DOS? ( 1 202 663 1225 ).

I have run into similar problems, as well. KEEP TRYING!! Call early in the morning, around 8:30 am, press 1 then 5. Do not give up, cos at some point, someone will answer.

I called NVC again today, they don't have my case yet. :( The lady I spoke w/ was actually very nice, she asked me when my approval date was. When I told her "last thursday, the 17th" she said "That's cute...that it had only been a week and I was calling." I told her that after the long USCIS wait, I was anxious. :blush: She said she understood, and suggested I try back next week, because it takes about 2 weeks for the case to reach them. She did say that K-1 petitions do not stay w/ NVC very long, before they are forwarded on to the embassy.
So nothing left to do, but wait out the long weekend.

-P

Still no hard copy NOA2, or change in status online. :angry: What is going on? All these people approved yet many are not approvals online, or the paper NOA2's. :huh:

I do not know, Paula.
I am trying hard to get answers for those of us in this foggy haze! We need those hard copies. If you find out, please post.

I called USCIfriggingoodfornothingS yesterday and the lame I talked to said if I do not get the hard copy NOA-2 in 30 days, I am to call back and there is a possibility I will have to pay for them to issue me one !!!!!!!! In one thread I read someone was told they wanted 200 bucks for that NOA-2. Im outraged because we already paid for this with the 170.00 cheque. I would settle for an E Mail at this point.

P S ...after calling NVC and telling them what CSC did to a few of us, I was given this # 1 202 5144316. The woman at NVC said do not bother with the 1 800 # at USCIS, that this # is HEADQUARTERS. Well, I tried, but all I got was rings, but no one answering the phone. Maybe someone can make headway.

OOoh, thanks for that #. Its 30 days for me Thursday, so if they try to make me pay (which I am NOT DOING) then its nice to know that #!

Oh, AND I got packet 3 today! WOO HOO!!!!!!!


May the force be with you, msu17! I thought if I passed that number around, and if more people tried to get through to it, then someone can likely supply us with some well needed answers to this mess.

I do not know why some get the E mails, and some get the hard copies, and then some of us get nothing and have to do our own investigations to find out if we are approved or not.
