I just called the NVC and they said they received our case today but no case #s or anything yet. I asked the operator for the IIN and BIN but she said there wasn't anything yet. She told me there would be nothing for 10-15 business days. Is that normal? I just want to make sure I didn't get some silly operator and should be calling back to get a different one?

Thanks guys!

No, you got the standard answer. But, keep calling every few days. There will be a few days lag between when your case is asigned your id numbers and when they contact you. If you keep calling you can save about a week of waiting to be notified.

Mine arrived on the 17th and no case number as of 5 minutes ago. I would also think it's safe to assume that staffing levels are lower than normal at this time of year with people off for extra days around the holidays.

It is normal. The NVC received it on Dec 05th but case number was assigned on Dec 12 & I was calling them everyday since Dec 07 till I got it. They say it does take 10 to 20 days but each case is different because mine was in less than 10 days. By the way try to call them after 5pm when itsn't busy. So Good luck
