NVC Timeline

Confused.. So when I call NVC what do I say to them or give them to find out if my case is there yet? Thanks and sorry for being thick at the moment..

You give them the receipt number that is listed on your NOA2. Then they will give you the case number they assigned to it.

Thanks for the reply. Can you get the numbers by calling the NVC or do you just have to wait for the letter?

No, u dont have to wait! Call NVC to see if they received ur petition already and if they did, ask for ur case number and they will give it to you!

Wait, they send them electronically now??!?! That's awesome!! I wonder if they do that for all of them though. Probably not. They should though, makes so much more sense.

Huh?? Not sure what ur talking about...

when u call NVC they will ask you for receipt # first, then petitionary's name and date of birth and beneficiary's name and date of birth. Then u can ask for ur case number and (at least for the embassy in Mexico we need) also ur Invoice # and beneficiary's #.

Hello, Of course they are going to say "Allow 14 days". They do not want an overload in calls. I would say a week to 9 days is usually the norm for NVC to assign the new number. This is from what I have seen and heard over the past 7 months. The good thing is that once NVC as the case and issues a number it is usually out of the door in no time. Our case was sent electronically to the Consulate. Smile, you are very very close to completion

Now I know what u were talking about!!!! LOL Sorry, did not read W&M post before.... I dont think they do that to the embassy in Mexico, I'm pretty sure they actually mail the petitions in bulk. Good thing they are already on their way to Juarez!
