[Saylin 1,605]

Thank you for pointing out that thread. I should've posted there in the first place- don't remember how I ended up posting on this one!

Haha, it's okay! Hopefully soon, you'll be joining the NVC thread

Last week before Christmas...let's hope the NVC is still alive and kicking out the CC's this week!!

Depending on the review, it's like you say, either case complete or they'll request for it. You just have to wait and see. Continue to call every day and ask for any update.

any idea, hw long it will take

Hopefully they're not hibernating... Still waiting for case received here.

I hope there's lots of progress this week right before the holidays so everyone can receive a great present from NVC

any idea, hw long it will take

It always depends how busy they are. Could be a few days, could be a few weeks.

Just got to talk with an operator at NVC, it was a little bumpy today (long wait and before that it kept ringing busy for a while), there was also a recorded message saying operators will not be available tonight between 5 someting and 6 something. Sorry I didn't write down the exact time, but I thought I should let you know.

So she told me the case is received but she could not take beneficiary's and petitioner's e-mail info yet?? I thought once they've received it they can get the e-mails so they can communicate the case number to you this way.... Is that wrong? I've seen several members lately who said they received their NVC case # by e-mail. I'm confused...

By the way, she told me it was received on Dec 12, and last time I called on Friday, they couldn't see it yet!

Checked again, no operators between 6:45 and 7:30 pm eastern time today.

NVC probably received your case but hasn't assigned it a number yet, thus they can't take the email addresses yet. Just keep calling every day asking if a number has been assigned yet. Once it has, then you should be able to give the email addresses.

Finally got some action from the NVC last night. Unfortunately though, it's an RFE for original birth and marriage certificates. I thought we would be ok as we sent copies certified by a Justice of the Peace in Australia. Apparently they don't accept that, we are kicking ourselves, but at least if we send them out today, we have a chance of a CC this year...

I'm worrying about this original thing... Here in France THE original record is in a big book at the city hall, so what they do is copy it and stamp it with the date they made it. That's for the birth certificate. For the marriage certificate they print it and it says it was computer generated. These are the closest to original documents I can get!

I wouldn't worry, that should be fine. The part I misread on the website was the part that said they needed to be certified as true copy 'by the issuing authority'. We had a third party certify them. If you had a government official do it, and that's the only way to get a copy of your record of birth, you should be fine.

Hi. I got my NOA-2 just recently Dec. 16, 2011. What should I do and when is the best time to start calling NVC to get my case number.

Thanks!

You're probably right... Can't wait for this process to be over, I'd like to stop WORRYING all the time!

You could start calling now to know when your file is received. The operators kept telling us 15 business days though.
