please never, ever wait on 'notification' from the NVC. Instead, use a telephone, call in for status.

nvc has slowed down, sure, but it's not because of any gov shutdown. things have slowed down the last 3 to 4 months. ONCE your casefile actually arrives at NVC, things can go as fast as you can push

F2A from Philippines have already received interview letters so obviously we are not affected by the "shutdown".

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Call NVC for real time updates regarding your case.

The receipt number is the one from USCIS. It is on your NOA1 and NOA2.

The case number is assigned by NVC. It starts with MNL.

Yes, I'm from the Phils.

NVC is slowing down the past month/s. I think the waiting time now just to get a case number is 8 weeks.

Just be patient. good.gif

If its any consolation to you, I waited more than a year to get NOA2. A weeks of waiting won't hurt as you only filed Aug 2013. wink.png

ONCE your casefile actually arrives at NVC, things can go as fast as you can push the button (almost) - as

YOU control the pace, at NVC (mostly).

How to know yer casefile arrived at NVC? Call ! Use a telephone !

your husband won't receive any notification for 'arrival'. there will be notification after fees are paid.

Since he used an attorney, the good news is that the 2 fee bills are generated same day, so things will go faster for you, saving about 4 to 5 weeks of wait time.

since yer here, asking questions ;) please to make yer timeline over at

You will only get an email once NVC have a case number for you and an invoice identification number for you and your affidavit of support fee is already generated. This means they're able to enter and process your files from uscis. The only way for you to know what's going on with your file before the email is by calling them. Now, don't feel too worried or depressed because a lot of us here waited at least 1 year to get approved. For our case, my siblings files took 2 months just to arrive at NVC. Two weeks to get our case numbers and until now our choice of agents haven't been accepted which as what is going on here, it's taking 10-20 business days to be accepted. I do understand that you would want to be with your family ASAP, who's not right? But it really takes a lot of patience to finish this process. Just consider yourself lucky to be approved fast. Try not to linger here too much...it will just make you compare your case too much to other people's timeline and make you feel worst:) everything is in God's perfect time;) make your self busy by doing other stuffs or go out and enjoy the weather:)

all that stuff is bypassed if there's attorney attached to the casefile, with a G-28 filed with the I-130.

I'm thinking that's the case for the OP, fwiw all correspondence goes to the lawyer. Sometimes the petitioner will get stuff, when a lawyer is attached, but it's not the norm.

Ultimately, the interview letter will get emailed out , so that's a plus, but also the end-game, final result, at NVC.
