My petition was sent to them on the 26th of September. I called today and they haven't received it yet and they stated that it could take up to 8 weeks. Should I allow 8 weeks or would you recommend calling more often? How often does it happen that it takes too long to receive?

It takes more time than you think, but I'd call at least once a week for the next 3 weeks, and from then on out you can try once a day. It took us eight days to get to the NVC and get a case number, plus another two days for MTL to receive it (and three more for MTL to send packet 3, which we've still not received).

I'd also suggest using the Department of State number to get an IV case number, they're much nicer and I found them to be easier to work with to determine when Montreal received my K-1 case from the NVC. The NVC folks told us we didn't have a case but I called DoS at T+10 days and found out that in fact they had received the case!

this post shows what to do. its a trick that has worked since i started immigration back in 2008 and last i knew it still worked. Its worth a try! Just modify the info to your own country etc.

It looks like it still works, but I think it's telling me when it leaves NVC to the embassy? Not from USCIS to NVC?
