No case number yet. Woman I spoke to said that they just changed the policy so that it's now 30 business days, and I can expect my case number probably by the second week in March. @#!#!%$@#^^&&(*%($*$@%!#*%($%)!!!!!!!!

Today's lady told me 6 weeks, so, same difference. She quoted first week of March as my target though. I could hear her counting the weeks since my petition was received XD Six would be March 4.

This means I will have mine end of next week. That will be possible only if there are no further snow days. First I 130 then AOS then VAWA and now NVC. God have mercy.

Yesterday they said 8 weeks, if i can calculate are 40 business days. And we dont know is the file there, all info we can get is "We have nothing for you" I cant believe it we are moving slowly from backlog1 to backlog2 and thats all. Grrrr

The lady I spoke with estimated that we'll get ours by the first week of March but she didn't say anything about new policies or whatever, just that the weather and holidays affected the timetables.

Just a quick update.

I just called NVC and the operator confirmed that our case left NVC on Feb 14 to Embassy Tokyo.

We will just bring all the AOS & IV package to the Embassy.

Our case was requested for expedite.

[Collie 122]

What utter BS! I agree- here we go with another effing backlog because now all the petitions from USCIS service centers are being processed in slightly higher volumes, so of course there will be a flooding effect upon the NVC. Maybe I will get to see my parents in 2015 at this rate of going - heck maybe I'll get lucky and they can see my current 6 month old daughter graduate from fricking college. So over this BS.

I just called NVC and asked for a status. They said 30 business days from when they received the packets. They received mine 02/07. 30 business days means march 21st. Simply wow.

Saylin, please add me to the spreadsheet as well. Thank you!

Hi all,

My husband (the beneficiary) called the NVC today to see if they had logged our AOS and IV packages that were mailed. The rep told him that they have a major backlog right now due to closures from the bad weather. A lot of mail is at the facility, but not logged into the computer system yet. My husband was told to call back in a week.

[Kaylara 814]

They seriously need to get some people working in there overtime, or on a Saturday or something. At this point, a week or two of that should put them well ahead of the game. If they're already backlogged now, it's only going to get worse. Perhaps we should send a letter to the management there, and explain that they're going to be getting a lot of people through and their backlog is only going to get worse if they don't do something about it *now* while it's manageable.

I don't think the us embassy will notarize anything. You have to go to another office. In my hubby's country we did most of that stuff at the ministry of foreign affairs. But I'm sure there are other places also. Hope this helps.

Thank you. I saw on the site of the Embassy here in Skopje, they have option to notarized documents. Also I called the institutions in Macedonia, you can obtain birth/marriage certificate in any time for less than two days. It's not like in some countries where you have one certificate with water mark. Also if you made a copy you go to notarize the copy. That's how it goes here. Longest duration for obtain a document is court certificate and you can have it for a week. So I decided to send originals, and if something happened i can obtain another one in any time.

Thank you anyway

Absolutely agree, we were told same BS as everybody here... wait up to 8 weeks for case #... wt.. my friend submitted Fiance visa late Nov. 2013 and they are already approved at the embassy, I wish them all good. But we are married nearly year and still separated. This is so much against families. Does anybody have any contacts on management?

I'm pretty disappointed to see that preference to K1 filers continues into NVC. They get their case numbers within a couple of weeks and are then on their merry way to interview. I know IR1/CR1 has to sit at NVC longer while we submit paperwork, and that's fine, but why can't we at least get our case numbers as expeditiously?
