I tried to call NVC all day today but line is busy... Anyone experience? Or should I call DoS number instead? e-noification said USCIS sent my NOA2 to NVC 11/7/2013.

Call NVC at 8 am Eastern Time you will wait 5 minutes max.

Good Luck!

HEY EVERYBODY!!!

I know it's not the subject but I FOUND MY DREAM WEDDING DRESS TODAAAAY!!!! And I'm so proud :') it was such an amazing moment! I was wearing the first time in my life a wedding dress OMG!!!

I'm so happy! My mom and me will buy it this saturday :-))))))

Still waiting for NOA2!

Yayyyyy!! Soooo happy for you!! I have yet to look for mine but we are having an engagement party first and I already have the dress too! :D

I am scared to get the wedding dress now because I might see something that I like more later?? *sigh*

I tried to call NVC all day today but line is busy... Anyone experience? Or should I call DoS number instead? e-noification said USCIS sent my NOA2 to NVC 11/7/2013.

I called DoS to get my case number. Little to no waiting time. Nice people too!

Cooongraaats! :-)

I really start to ask me how they want to approve me and my fiance within the next 2 months (than we will have reached the 5 months waiting limit for NOA2).... When i see how many people are still waiting from august and there are always more september or october fillers getting approved!!! o.O

What happens after the 5 months? Should we start to call everyday? I would do certainly the next day after 5 months waiting for NOA2 I promise that on god!!!!!

When are they letting our case falling down because we were waiting so long....?

Congrats on your NOA2

Thank you! It's a huge weight off our shoulders now. Or at the very least it feels as if the wait to NVC will be bearable now. Thank you again!

Hang in there, it will come. I BELIEVE at the five month mark is when you can get your U.S. Senator involved, but I don't want to speak incorrectly. I'm sure someone here will give more knowledgeable advice. And yes, it's horribly frustrating to see others who filed after you get approved first. I felt that way for the last two months myself. Keep the faith, and I hope your NOA2 comes soon. Best of luck to you both.
