Called NVC to check if my son's CR2 and my wife's CR1 cases are joined up. The operator is lady, kind of an angry bird, yelling for no reasons. After insisted to talk with her supervisor, she finally connected me to a supervisor. The odd is, the supervisor, again a lady (much nicer than the operator), told me "there is no 100% guarantee that the two cases would be scheduled for same day interview, but it is extremely rare if scheduled separately". The supervisor does not even ask our NVC case numbers. How do I read this, are the cases joined up? ...

If not sure call again, usually if I'm not satisfied with the answer of one operator I call back after an hour or if I need to clarify more or didnt hear the operator really good because of the connections.

Thanks

It's currently taking around 4 weeks from NOA2 to get a case number, so you should be getting yours in a week or so.

For the DS-3032, go back to the first post, click on the DS-3032 email template link and read the instructions. Then read the instructions again.

I just wanted to thank all of you folks so much for your knowledge and support through this process.

I'm sure you get tired of seeing the same questions and frustrations over and over again...and yet you keep coming here to uplift and support others, even as you live your own (stressful!) lives.

*claps*

I, for one, am beyond grateful. Thanks for all you do. :luv:
