NVC Dragging Their Feet

[Lynn/Saif 1]

Today is 4 weeks and 5 days, I called them and they only said "we have it and you will hear from us by mail for billing" should I have been more persistant and asked for case number??

you should be persistent as hell.. i'd called them twice a day until i get the necessary info.

I also found NVC slows down now, and so many petitioners have no Case number almost one month after NOA2 is received. I am just wondering whether from May to August is US student visa application summit period, and also summer break, maybe so many tourist visas applications... all of which drag NVC processing down?

There is no longer an automated system. Call every day. The best time to call is at night the wait wont be so long. I called twice a day. They give you a basic timelime of when to call back. Dont go by that just keep calling. When they say your case has been received and entered into the system give them emails for both the petitioner and beneficiary. Afterwards ask for the case number and Invoice identification number and beneficiary number. Once you receive all that send an email version of the choice of agent letter providing you are doing the I130. If it is accepted you will received an email acknowledging it. I was waiting for an email for the AOS fee never came. Checked my husbands email and there was something that I never received. Why because they mispelled my email address. Sent them an email right away to correct this. Anyways checked the NVC website and yes both bills are they waiting to be paid. Good luck and never stop calling!!!

I do know with the new immigration laws the centers are flooded with applications. I have been patient but think I need to get more aggresive. I am really tired of waiting

NVC is currently taking around a month from NOA2 to assign case numbers. If you look at the spreadsheet linked in my signature below, you'll see that others with a NOA2 date around yours just got their case numbers assigned this week. So you should be getting yours assigned very soon. Just keep calling NVC every single day to ask if a case number has been assigned for your case.

thats why i suggested you to call twice a day or even trice if necessary. besides it help you vent your frustration a bit. i know i call at least 3 times now to get therapy on the uscis hotline. lol.

I pray you promptly went into the kitchen and promptly prepped a batch of dough, for making the bread. It's fun to be relaxed on a Saturday morning, yes? 5 AM for me also - none of this silliness with the work today .. The pinkish light from the sunrise was amazing. Then I thought - oh ####### - NVC TeleOperators might be able to see what I see - so I got dismayed from sharing this otherwise unique experience.

Hahaha

And on that note, my weekend is effectively ruined by the fact that I didn't get to call NVC yesterday.
