It hasn't even been a full week since my NOA2, but I've called the NVC IVR so much that I know the IVR sequence and my USCIS receipt number by heart.

I thought today I'd see if the live operator knew any more than the IVR (didn't expect it, but thought it was worth a try).

I had heard that NVC operators were friendly, and mine absolutely was. Didn't spew out their ID number like USCIS, and actually sounded friendly and helpful.

Didn't brow-beat me for calling in sooner than a week. Just calmly informed me that it wasn't in their system, and that I should give it another week.

So if anyone's afraid of calling NVC (when they actually need to), don't be afraid. They don't bite.

Well, there are a few witches and such working there, so don't be surprised if one of them gets your call. ^_^

What I found while we were at the NVC was that the night crew was a lot friendlier and more helpful than the day crew.
