Can the beneficiary call the NVC to see if the case is received?

Indeed, I too heard it was just a big batch. I'm assuming they get sent out in bundles but since approvals have slowed down so much, so those bundles slowed down.

For VSC, that makes sense. For CSC I think it's the opposite scenario. Too many approvals following a huge backlog. The shipments are bound to get backlogged too at some point. It's all speculation really, but that's what makes the waiting game interesting IMO.

Could well be. I'd love to find out what courier they use between the USCIS office and the NVC. We could conceivably track things, or at least, track a little activity in a similar fashion as we do now with Case to Embassy petitions.

As a side note, I wonder if we ever get any USCIS staff reading this forum that perhaps can't comment but sit there going "That's actually really close to the mark" or "What the heck? That's the dumbest thing I ever heard, it's nothing like that"

Come on USCIS staff person, speak up. We can make it so you're anonymous! (Well Alright we cant but I'll buy you a box of donuts?)

Lately, it's been horse and carriage.

Perhaps. But if I were to adjudicate petitions like ours all day, I would spend my free time with a beer infront of the TV rather than get anywhere near a site like VJ

I imagine they don't give a flying fk.

Well, you're Vermont, so I doubt you'll be waiting too long. You'll probably have your case number before our California ones even reach the NVC... *sigh*

Been taking about 3 weeks for VSC filers, 4 - 5 weeks for CSC. Either way, it used to take 1 - 2 weeks for both VSC and CSC.

VoIP phone. With speaker so I can hear the extatic "we're looking forward to speaking with you" guy 25 times over every evening.

Oh! That's what he says? I thought he was trying to sell me something!

Selling what? 15 business days away from your wife? That's only appealing to people who've already been married for 20 years haha. Target group fail!
