Hi guys!

Thanks for all the support and help that everyone has provided on this site that has lead to our I129f petition approval. We got our approval email on the 17th of October from VSC to TSC transfer. Do you guys know how long will NVC take to receive the application to assign the case number. We have been calling everyday since last week (Tuesday) and they don't even have our case in the system. They keep saying to call back and that it would take upto eight weeks. Any ideas guys on the timeline. Thanks for any and all help.

Becky and Vik

our petition was approved late august but it took 7 weeks for the nvc to process it. they will send you a letter stating that they will mail your case to the embassy within a week and itll have your new case number. ours took 3 days to make it to the embassy. (someone a while ago posted a way to track your file using dhl website, which is why i know when it got there, but i dont remember the details now...)

that was the most frustrating 7 weeks as they dont tell you a dang thing and theres nothing you can do! hopefully they arent as behind as they were then and you wont have to wait as long as we did. try to be as patient as possible!

We got our approval email on the 17th of October from VSC to TSC transfer.

You may actually be in luck because it seems that Texas seems to send them off to NVC a lot faster than CSC.

We got our NOA2 on Oct. 1st and I waited till Oct. 15 to call and when I did - they had our case number and a day later it was being sent off to the embassy.

We didn't receive a letter or anything telling us our case number - I would just wait a few days, and maybe call them sometime middle of next week.

We called DOS - not NVC, because usually DOS has the same info as NVC and there is a lot less wait time on the phone.

Thanks for the reply. Can you give me the DOS phone number so that I can call them. And, Good Luck on your visa.

DOS #: (202) 485-7600

press 1 and then 0 and you will get a person... then you just need your application ID and the name/ date of birth of the applicants!

Good Luck!
