I was just agreeing with Sid and it looks like his wife is Filipina. And yes my hubby is a soccer fanatic and I am trying to figure out how to get all those soccer channels on my Uverse

Just to update what has been going on with my case - in case anyone is interested:

Jan 2nd - received our NOA2 (while on vacation in the beaches of Colombia - awesome timing and celebration!)

Jan 11th - received email that our case had been sent to NVC.

Jan 14th - NVC received - (this is the date we put on the timeline?? In a way it seems like the Case # assigned date is even more important.)

Jan 23 - started calling NVC about every other day and was told the case was received Jan 14th, but no case number yet.

I called about 4-5 times overall at approx 3PM, 5 PM, 7 PM, and 9AM. 9 AM was the best time overall as I was not on hold AT ALL. 3 PM - I was on hold for about 4 minutes. 5 PM and 7 PM I was on hold for about 15 - 30 minutes.

Feb 1 - Case # was assigned. Suddenly she just started asking me a bunch of questions. She was not the politest person I have had and I had to get her to repeat the case number 3 times because she kept saying it so fast and I was paranoid about writing it down wrong. She asked for our emails and phone numbers. I then asked her for the Invoice Identification # and she was like Why do you need that? I told her... well I have read that I will need it. She said you will receive it in the mail. I insisted to please let me have it because I live in a foreign country and the mail is not so good. She gave me the number and then said I would receive it by email anyway.

Glad I got the number (thanks visa journey) because I then went to look up the bills. The numbers worked, but of course the bills were not invoiced yet. My husband already send off the Choice of Agent email (hope that wasnt too early) and we are working on speeding up getting his police certificates. (Hes got to get 3 of them.)

Its very cool to see things actually moving a long after reading about it for so long!

Good Luck to everyone!

That's bizarre. I had assumed that since it's YOUR case and YOUR number, you have the right to ask for it. Why would she be reluctant to give it to you? I hope I don't get any attitudes like that. I'm hoping to call Monday and get my numbers. Fingers crossed I don't get that lady.

Grats on your progress! The next part of the process is going to go fast, so make sure you get the packages ready!

I have seen a LOT of people on here complain about operators not willing to give the IIN. Which is ridiculous in my opinion. Like you, it's your number and they should provide it as willingly as the case number. Thankfully, I had no problems whatsoever when I got my case numbers.

My NOA2 was Jan 18th, and the NVC didn't receive it until the 28th. It's probably on its way.

NO2 jan 24 and it was received on 02.01..no case number yet

Just curious - did you both of you get an email from USCIS that your case was mailed to NVC? I got the email for NOA2 approval on Jan 25, with an email on Jan 29 saying that the approval was mailed to me on Jan 28, but NO email saying it was mailed to NVC like others. Just wondering if I should wait for this email before I start the daily calling to NVC.. Thanks!

I think you're misreading the second email. I got one email saying approved, and then another that says this:

Your Case Status: Post Decision Activity

On January 30, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

But I never got an email saying they mailed the approval to me...
