A petition may take anywhere from 2-7 weeks to reach the NVC. I've seen some posts by a few members where it's taken longer than that but they're few and far in between.

After the NVC receives your petition, it can take them up to a week to assign you a case #. They will not enter this in the IVR, so you will have to talk to a live agent to find out what your case # is.

Yeah, it may take a few days or a few weeks. It all depends on all kinds of circumstances, so you just have to keep on calling them to find out when they got it.

I GOT IT!!!! 10:43PM - Oficially 14 tries and on the 14th... GOT IT. First operator to answer, a man, forgot the name, easily gave me both numbers and told me that i still couldnt pay... He was right, the bills are not ready to pay... but as soon as they are...i'll be ready.

Is there anyway i can procede with my NVC stuff as of this point. With all of the information i have.

I have the case numbers, the IIN's... Come on.. there's gotta be something i can do...

Hello Diana,

You said this seem to take 2-x number of weeks but in your case from NOA2 to Case# assigned took 7 days. Does that mean this, at times, may take lesser than 2 weeks?

Thanks,

PLEASE IGNORE THE PREVIOUS POST AS I WROTE IT BEFORE READING REST OF THE THREAD :bonk::bonk:

Hello Diana,

You said this seem to take 2-x number of weeks but in your case from NOA2 to Case# assigned took 7 days. Does that mean this, at times, may take lesser than 2 weeks? Understood depending on when the bulk delivery is made, how many were received at NVC and based on many conditions the time may vary a lot. But I guess we are trying to find out if there is a minimum standard as to after how many days should I start calling NVC and talk to an Operator? Also, even if I get the case # and make the payment, when and how will I get notfied about the IV and AOS package? Should I get them by mail/email and will it state if I need to submit any additional document?

I know I asked too many questions, but like many, bit excited after the NOA2 approval :P

Thanks,
