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 :-/

well i already contact to Congresswomen i send her copy of NOA2 & Personal Letter has my sign on it..

its like 2 weeks ago i have not hear anything from her.

what do you mean AP?

I was just wondering how long it aprox took everyone, lately, to get their NVC case #'s after they received their NOA2.

Thanks for the input! :thumbs:

We got our NOA2 on last 5 august, my fiance called NVC yesterday, 15 august and they gave him our case number. Good luck to you!
