I got approved on August 31st but haven't received my case number at NVC yet. Although I did get my NOA2. Hopefully will get the case number tomorrow.

yes sister hopefully u will get ur number tommorow, my noa2 date is 25 august and i got case number on 4th sep

Did you actually called and bother them a lot or you just listened to the automated service. I talked to the operator today and she said it usually takes about 2-4 weeks and might take up to 90 days to get the case number. I hope it won't take that long.

we never bothered the operator before we got the case number , we just called them and listened the automated service , and got the case number afer 10 days , and after that we talked to teh operator and gave her both email adresses.

just dont be worried at all it dont take much long usually , and i m very sure u will get ur case number within a week . best of luck

You are so lucky that you received your case number within 10 days. I mean they received my K3 file but haven't received the 130 one. I just hate waiting for a stupid case number. I talk to them everyday. It's been 10 days since our peition got approved. Have you received your DS3032/AOS BILL yet?

Sister u will definitely get ur case number withing a week , and we havent get the DS-3032 or anything yet just case number , and sister u know there r lot of june approvals thats y NVC has lil burden these days but dont worry every thing will be fine INSHALLAH .

lot of prayers for u ,Best of luck

Thanks,

I really hope to get an interview date in December. I have breaks and I can for my husband's interview. Please pray. I hope you get your DS 3032 soon.

Hi Everyone,

This information from Bob 4 Anna (found in September at NVC thread) is very helpful for us.

QUOTE (philmae83 @ Sep 9 2009, 09:42 PM)

hi Bob (your name must be Robert), you got the same nickname as my husband..by the way thank you..i see that your wife is in Philippines too..hoping you can give me more information about this journey

Yes, my name is Robert but I never use that as it's just too formal sounding.

I'm not sure how much info I can give as we're just a few weeks ahead of you in the process...

As you can see from our timelines it was 8 days for my wife & 7 days for our son to show as case received by NVC and have a case number.

Also note that it was 13 days to get the AOS Fee Bill & DS-3032 for my wife via US Mail but only 4 days for our son via e-mail. The difference baing that I had called NVC the day he had a case number there and gave them our e-mail addresses BEFORE THEY GENERATED his AOS Fee Bill & DS-3032 so they were able to e-mail it all to us instead of print & mail it.

Now it has taken 8 days for them to accept her DS-3032 via e-mail and we are expecting our son's to be accepted ether today or tomorrow as they were e-mailed close together. Note that when e-mailing the DS-3032 the short note included in the outdated shortcuts doesn't work anymore. You must fill-out and sign the DS-3032 that is sent to you and then scan it and attach it to the e-mail then follow the provided instructions (put NVC Case number in subject line, Petitioner's name & birthdate and Beneficearies name & birthdate in the message body with note stating that your DS-3032 is attached).

When I sent the AOS (I-864) Packets to NVC I sent the package UPS Next Day Air. NVC's system showed "Mail Received on the case" 2 days after UPS showed it was delivered.

Once they have received the DS-3032, NVC will generate the IV Fee Bill.

The best shortcuts (in my opinion) are:

1. Call NVC starting at 5 days after NOA2 Date to get NVC Case Number.

2. Once you have NVC Case Number, speak to an NVC Operator and give them both party's e-mail addresses.

3. Use Express delivery services (not US Post Office) for return of Document Packages (AOS I-864 & DS-230).

4. Have the documents (AOS I-864 & DS-230 Packages) ready to that when the coversheets are generated you can send them right away.

I've read on VJ that members have been able to get the SLMEC Medical Exams by just showing a copy of thier NOA2. I'm going to suggest to my wife, Anna, that she & our son try that before the end of the month as it would cut some time off the wait for her interview.

The wait times now are so much shorter but really more agonizing because we're so close that we can actually imagine the day she will land in Chicago. She has days where I think she'll go crazy from the wait but this is how the US Gov't works: Hurry up and wait...

NVC is taking forever to assign me my case number. I have been calling them every day twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. I also talk to the operator and they basically tell me the same thing over and over again, that it takes about 2-4 weeks and sometimes up to 90 days. Screw that!!!!!

Congratulations everyone who got approved. Hopefully the rest of you will be approved soon.

i agree! i still have no case number, its only been a week since NOA2 though.. ugh.. i am so impatient now hehe.

soon enough, it will come!

how are all our unapproved friends travelling along? i bet you are so frustrated too... i feel for you.

chin up everyone! good things came to us June filers because we are AWESOME!! :star::thumbs::dance:
