We are both on the same track. I haven't gotten any response from NVC. Did you call them to find your NVC # or did they mail it to you?

When my husband called up NVC y'day, was told that they'd received the case. Haven't got a number yet. Hopefully in the next day or two.

I also called today and said they received my file yesterday (3-5-2012). They asked me to call back in 10-15 days? Do you think i should wait for call everyday? Also, after they have the NVC case number and IIN number do we pay the fee first or send them the packages.. Confused on the next parts.

Call 'em up everyday. They'll continue to tell you to call 'em in two weeks, but ignore that and keep calling. Once you have the case number and IIN, you get your spouse to mail out the DS-3032 and alongside, you pay the AOS fee. Once they've received the DS-3032 and the IV fee bill is generated, you pay that up and only on receipt of that do you send out the AOS as well as IV packages.

1) What time is a good time to call NVC? when there is more chance of them receiving our App from USCIS and assigning case#

I heard they close midnight (EST).

I called during 12 noon (MST)yesterday and the waiting period was about 5 min and today i called around 11am(MST) waiting time about 2 min.

My NOA2 is last week 3/1 so this Thurs would be exactly 1 week since.

I have also seen NVC get case in 5 days but no NVC Case# etc... i think total wait to get NVC case# is about 2 weeks?

2) What to say when talking to operator? Just tell them I'm calling for NVC case# or my case has been received?

if i say this won't they then just repeat the 15 days waiting period w/o doing any lookup on mycase, hmmm correct?

The DS-3032 has to be emailed out from the beneficiary's email id. I'd much rather have your husband email it out. It's no biggie, you'll find the sample here. Just copy, paste, and make the necessary changes. In fact, I'd say you can ask him to be ready with the DS-3032 mail in his drafts, so that he can mail it out as soon as you get a case number.

If I'm calling, I being the beneficiary, I usually call up before 8.30 am India time. That way, I'm able to get through to an operator in under 2 mins.

When you talk to an operator, you quote your CIS receipt number and ask if a case number has been assigned. If the case has been received by NVC, they'll let you know when NVC received the case. Until the case number has been assigned, they'll tell you to call them in 10 to 20 days from the day the case was received by NVC. And no, they do look up your case, cos the moment you quote your CIS receipt number, the first question they ask is the beneficiary's name and DOB, but by then the system already tells them a number has not been assigned, which is when they ask you to call again.

I've been helped by a lot of people out here, and I try and help with what little I know of the process. And you're most welcome. For all you know, over the next few days, you'd be passing on the same information to someone else who isn't aware of it. God bless VisaJourney and all the people out here!
