i called NVC today.. to get CASE NUMBER>.

the person told me.. that it would be 15 business days till they get number assigned..

and the CONSULATE would be contacting ROSSANA>. is this true?

It took us only like a day to get the case number once our case was sent to the NVC...but it took a month for it to be sent. So hopefully it won't be that long for you!!!

And it totally depends on the country who does the contacting...we have to email the consulate and then wait a freakin' eternity for them to ever contact us back with the date.....try to find some country-specific info on here to help you out!

Hi skiptex, It seems to be true....................... We got approved on July 2nd and when we started calling NVC they told us the same, and they do not count the day you get approved. We had July 4th in there too which was not counted and they said if there is a backlog files take longer to get scanned. Go Figure!!!! Ours took 23 days!!!! \

If they have not received it in 15 business days then they will manually assign you a case number. Once it gets scanned it leaves there quick within 24hrs usually by DHL to the embassies. And then in our case embassy got it monday and we got pack 3 on friday Aug 3..

Interview Monday 27th August 2012

207 days since NOA1.

My fiance only managed to contact them only once to be given that 15 business days speech, so I sent them an email to NVCINQUIRY@state.gov - subject: WAC/EAC #, then applicant name, DOB, petitioner name, DOB and I mentioned date of NOA2 and asked for case #.

I got an answer back in 9 days saying the case no and that it had been forwarded to the embassy.

Wow! Nice to see some RFE movement too. It is my worst nightmare to be one of those January people getting approved near the end of the all the February peeps... crying.gif All for a stupid mistake getting us an RFE... I am praying the trend continues all week.

Me too Mel.... me too!! :unsure:

Vosnmars, skiptex, tnx for support!! This thread is the only thing that keeps me going!!!

Texas, man i feel helpless at the point..

Rayandmal, I have crazy dreams, can't basically get any good sleep...

I just hope it's a sigh that it's gona b a good week for all of us who's still waiting

Sabi, if not for ur updates, just seeing vj timeline, I think I'd b crying right now cuz it only shows feb peeps getting approved when there is still a load of ppl from jan still waiting w some if them getting close to a 7 months mark....

LET IT BE THE BEST WEEK FOR ALL JANUARY FILLERS!!!! :star:

Dj, sry to hear that, hope everything will work out for u, u deserve it after this wait!!!

Dare_Do... I feel helpless too... nothing we can do but hurry up and wait! :(

(PS: I'm the female half that posts all the time.. :P)

we are in a spot of trouble. it seems like our NOA2 letter got sent to my fiancee's old address. She moved from the apartment, notified the post office about a change of address about 2 weeks now and changed the address on USCIS online July 30, now we are hearing that if the post office dont return the letter to uscis for them to send it to the new address, we are gonna be charged $400 just to get the NOA2 letter back. :(

DJ, I hope everything works out for you... my thoughts and prayers are with you that this can get straightened out quickly for y'all. :thumbs:
