I have noticed that california petitions are going fast i am in TSC have you guys gotten your noa2

CSC is going fast with issuing NOA2's. But they've been taking much longer (about 41 days!) than TSC to get the approved petitions to NVC. So the overall timing kinda evens out in the end.

October 1, 2013 - NOA 2

October 4, 2013 - Case sent to NVC

October 15, 2013 - Rec'd case number from DoS via phone

October 16, 2013 - Case left NVC

October 25, 2013 - Pkt 3 rec'd

Congrats!!!

You may want to call DoS instead I, I hear they have shorter wait times on the phone, and are a lot more helpful than NVC.

DOS : + 1 202-485-7600 to get a human, press 1, then 0, when they are open.

Good luck smile.png

Congratulations! Exciting, isn't it?

Thanks for the tip, will do! Yes, it is quite exciting, but this really does seem like it's just the beginning. I think this next leg will probably be much longer than our wait for NOA2!

Thx! I just did my timeline, hopefully it's updated now. NOA1 was August 5, and we were at TSC as well. They seem to be working a little faster now. You'll have it before you know it.

Ours changed to Post Decision activity smile.png you check yours too!

What does that mean really? I just called NVC, lady on the phone said they did not receive the case, wait 8 weeks. I was on hold for a bit less than 30mins. (7PM pacific time when I called).

My NOA2 date was 9/17/2013. Does anyone have any luck retrieving more information about their case?

I don't think that any of us from CSC have gotten their case #. We're waiting for 3 weeks to elapse before calling. Have you tried calling DoS? I heard they are more helpful and knowledgeable.

Got this from one of the posts.

DOS # (202) 485-7600.

to get a human, press 1, then 0, when they are open.

Have you tried calling NVC? I wonder what happens next and when should I give my 3 months notice.

No. We're waiting for 3 weeks after NOA2 prior to calling.

Have you tried calling DOS?

DOS # (202) 485-7600.

to get a human, press 1, then 0, when they are open.

I'm assuming 3 months notice at work?

Yes. We are hoping that everything will be done by January so we can start a new year together!! I wonder how long will the process take now. I will wait for a couple of weeks before calling too. I am so unclear of the process from here on out.
