Hi..first of all congrats to all who were approved...and hang on to those who are waiting....Anyways,we got our NOA2 Sept. 24 and we got an update message from USCIS Sept. 26 that our case has been sent already to NVC, my question is, how long should we wait before we can call them up to get our Manila case number? AM I right, we should call US Embassy in Manila to follow up and get our Manila Case #? thanks...

Ah, you lucky TSC people, on to the NVC already. wink.png My understanding is that you can call the NVC next week for your case number.

ETA: Once you have your case number you can track it here: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

Yay!! We got our NOA 2 from the mail yesterday and it was approved!! Our case was transferred from Vermont to Texas Service Center and we thought it will take time for us to receive NOA2. We are so happy that everything is going well so far. :-) Ours got approved in 78 days from our NOA1 date. I can't wait to be with my baby love. ^_^

Just got back from another amazing week with my sweetie! Ugh! We were both happy that the next time we will see each other will be at the interview, but sad as being away any more is, as you all know, getting painfully hard! Ugh! Anyway, called NVC today just for the <ah-hem> fun of it. We rec'd our NOA2 on Sept 20 so I knew it was a long shot. NVC advised the "8-week wait" minimal so I called DOS and was told typically the current average is at 30 days. They were so nice they actually finished that sentence with "and feel free to call back tomorrow just to see if you may be a lucky one". LOVE it!

SooOoOooo those with NOA2's, just curious how long it actually took for you to get your case number (or how long you've been waiting if still hasn't been issued)? I was trying to see where I could find this info myself but no luck rolleyes.gif ((just trying to kill some time for now is all))

Thx! And was so happy to return and see all the additional approvals!!! Yay JULY FILERS!! good.gif

Awaiting Oath Ceremony for Citizenship! Last step!

DOS is very nice! I would prefer to call them any day. We have been waiting 4 weeks today. With the estimations from timelines (that are very sketchy after NOA2s) we are expecting a case number around the 14th of this month. Hoping for the 9th though.

You can check stats by going into the "immigration timeline" tab above, clicking on "K1 Stats", then selecting "K1" from the drop down and sorting how you like. Over to the right is a button that says "enable advanced mode" you will want to do that to see NVC data.

Good luck! :)

They are open Monday - Friday and I believe the hours of operation are 830-430 EST. It could be 8-430 though. Somewhere close to that anyways. :)
