There has been reports and examples of problems arising from USCIS transfers of I-129F petitions to the NVC. There has been a significant delay in the transfer of approved I-129F petitions from USCIS to the NVC, with the process taking an average of three to five months, much longer than anticipated. Upon receiving the petitions, the NVC’s creation of cases and issuance of Welcome Letters have been notably delayed, and in some instances, practitioners have not received them at all. This situation has required practitioners to make repeated attempts to contact the NVC until a case number is provided. Without receiving the unique case number and confirmation that the petition will be forwarded to the designated US Consulate, petitioners and beneficiaries are unable to proceed with the necessary preparations for the immigrant visa appointment and visa issuance.
