Thanks everyone

Hey first congreat for ur NOA2 apporve.well actually it takes 15 business day for them to assigned u new case number.but for me it takes 16 business days.but each case is diff sometimes take more n sometimes less.

The major step is for NVC to acknowlege they have received the file meaning it has been scanned into their system. sometimes it is in their building but gathering dust in the mail room.

After that case number issuance could take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. Longer in few cases.

Mine took about a month. It took them about 2 weeks to receive the petition and then another 2 weeks to input it and generate my numbers.

It took them seven weeks to receive my file in the mail room. No telling when they will actually issue our number.

NVC still has NOT recieved our cases until now.. Called NVC last week, still they have no record of our cases.. Emailed them a scanned copy of our NOA2s 2 weeks ago, still no reply..

we've been fortunate. ours was approved by USCIS 2nd march, received by NVC 7th march and 25th march we received case number, iin, ds-3032 and aos bill.

paid aos today so in a few days we'll be billed for the iv and i'll pay that too.

Thanks to all of you, your replays were very helpful. And I hope that it will help others.

The have received my file on the 20th of march. Do I have to keep calling or just wait till I receive something from them?

It's up to you. I called everyday but I needed to for myself. It could be a week or two till you get a number. So you have to decide what you are comfortable with.

I spoke to a woman from the Congressional Unit just now (normally this is impossible and I got to talk to her as the result of someone's mistake).

The official timeframe being quoted by the NVC for issuance of a case number after the file is marked as being present in the building is now 2 to 4 weeks, not 10 to 15 business days as quoted previously.

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Progress Reports to NVC forum; topic is about NVC operations and not a case status update.

A month on average to get to NVC from Vermont Service Center? Another wait after the 2 year ordeal just to get NOA2!

This process is a definitely a true test of patience.
