YES Nelkel that what i heard also! they backlogged! we just wait. I called them today and just for my own satisfaction and talked to an Operator.I gave her my WAC case number and she told me its not there yet. I figured that anyway its only been 2 days.:whistle:She told me to call back on friday of next week.I told her ok yes I will.BUT...I will call everyday just to see.I told Grace a lil while ago to get ready to Fly to Manila for her medical soon.I have the NOA 2 today in the Mail! only took 2 days since I am in California. I will scan the NOA 2 and give her case Number and she can take the medical with the other things she need to bring there.:thumbs:

please give us update on your mnl case number from time to time, i told my fiance to call nvc next week too, i hope they'll be able to work on it fast, its time to do there job too just like what CSC been doing..god bless us all!

She won't be able to get her medical done until you two have you MNL number from the NVC. It's good that you scanned your NOA2. PDF format is the preferable form for emailing it to the NVC. Call as much as you wish, but give them 15 business days before you send the email copy of your NOA2. When you do send the email, make sure you have your USCIS receipt number in the subject line. There's no time frame given to the operators of when the research will be complete, but I had one tell me to give them a couple of weeks to complete their research. Apparently, when you email your NOA2 to nvcresearch@state.gov the email gets bounced from department to department looking for the file.

Hey Ray whats going on? You havent gotten your case number I suppose? I guess its a backlog or something wrong with System? Anyway I know I wont be able to have Grace get her medical until I get my case number.I was just wanting her to be prepared for that in the near Future, I guess sometime in August Maybe?:whistle::I am in no Hurry, I was just checking to see what they say and who knows I might have gotten lucky? :bonk: I was at work and bored so i called.Anyway Good Luck to you and Amy and "KEEP THE FAITH"!!:thumbs:

So Tolga and I have been very patient so far on this journey. And it helps when Tolga takes a minute to remind me of our blessings. He sent me this photo from our trip to Ephesus, where we lit candles outside the last believed home of the Virgin Mary. Such a moving moment in time. We prayed for a long happy and healthy marriage. I should also add, that Tolga was raised Muslim and I a Christian. However, we both believe in the same God. And God has blessed us both.

However, getting the NOA2 is just the end of the first phase of the visa journey. I just got a letter from USCIS about my inquiry as to the whereabouts of my file. They say they sent it to the NVC. I also received an email from nvcresearch@state.gov about my inquiry about why they don't have it in their system yet. All they can tell me so far is that they don't have it and will contact USCIS on my behalf to try and find out where the file might be. :bonk:
