Have you been calling an operator every day to see if a number has been assigned?

Yuppers...just called less than a minute ago. Still nothing... lol

Keep getting the "This CIS number does not seem to be in our system yet. Please wait up to at least 15 business days for CIS to us the file."

I called NVC around 10pm last night and she said to wait 15 business days for petition to be in their system. My NOA2 was 06/20. I'll be calling again next week

Don't wait till next week! Call each and every day. I'd even suggest twice a day. You have to keep on things if you want to zoom through NVC.

CR-1 visa - NVC just sent me a CHECKLIST COVER LETTER falsely claiming that they need the marriage certificate, birth certificate, police clearance certificate, and applicant photos - all of which was already sent to NVC in the very same envelope as the I-864 and DS-230. I emailed them a complete explanation that they already have all these original documents, along with electronic copies of each of the original documents they already have (with filenames indicating which document corresponds to which item). For the Thai-language original documents, I also emailed them certified English translations (which according to NVC's own DS-230 instructions I am not required to provide them with since the original documents are in the language of the country for which the visa is being requested).

She's right. I call twice a day.

Noon during my lunch hour...just the AVR. I do not have enough time to be on hold.

10 PM EST every night and get hold on an operator.

Hey there.. I was also approved on 6/20 - your 15 days are up today! Call them and if they don't have your paperwork yet ask them what the next steps are (which will be scanning your approval notice and emailing it too them).

Hi,

Just want to share my timeline. I emailed the NVC yesterday.

I call them twice a day

Also, I saw that some people are talking about how to call the DOS (= dept of state?). Why would I call them?

Thanks!

DOS right now wouldn't help you. Calling them is only useful after your case is complete and you can call them to see if an interview date has been assigned, as well as calling NVC. And after your interview, if you want to know any updates on your case, then DOS would be the one to call as well.
