Jazz -- you should call the NVC and directly ask them if your case is in AP. If its not in AP, there should be some sort of explanation as to why it has not been assigned a number yet. If they don't give you an answer, you should contact your congressman/woman. Don't let them shove you around without an explanation...all I can think of is that you're in AP :-/

We were approved on Jul 29 from VSC. NVC received the file on August 1st and as of today no NVC case number. I keep calling everyday and get a different answer every time i talk to one of the reps. Today i was told that 4-6 weeks is normal processing time for NVC. I will not stop calling actually as of lately i am calling twice a day. :)

Good luck everyone
