NVC STILL not received case - NOA2 received Nov 5

[Natonstan 129]

Just called the NVC AGAIN and still they haven't got me in the system, I got my hard copy of NOA2 on November the 5th and I went through the Texas center. Everytime I phone I get the usual "it can take up to 8 weeks" response..

Which number did you dial? I've got mine 2 weeks after NOA-2 hardcopy received by my fiance.

[Natonstan 129]

I called (603) 334-0700 is that right?

Yes, that's correct number. But, I've got mine from DoS (Visa Unit) by dialed +12024857600. Try this one and I hope you get lucky!

Edit: I've got my case number 2 weeks after approval date.

Thank you, they open at 8:30EST so I still have 30 minutes before I can call them, I hope I get some good news since it's been a month now!

We got approved on October 31, and we are still waiting for our case number. We also went through TSC, and have been told about the same thing -- that it could take up to 8 weeks!

We are in the same boat as you it sounds, ours was approved NOA2 on Nov. 4th, and we havent heard a word since then.

I have no idea what type of order they process them in, but it doesnt seem as though they do them in the order they were approved for NOA2.

Kinda wonder if the clean-up crew comes in at night and plays with them by throwing them into different receptacles from a distance ,then USCIS picks one receptacle the next morning to process while all the others go back in a big pile so the clean-up crew can do it all over the next night. Just wish whoever is throwing ours, would hit the pile that gets processed!

I think that USCIS must forget that they are affecting so many peoples lives, or else they just dont care, or are incredibly understaffed, dont know which.

Got approve 8nov nvc. Didn't receive my case yet

You are so right about them not realizing how much this affects people, both myself and my fiancee in Texas are so tired of waiting, we expected it to be done by the start of next year but this delay has kept us both just sitting around waiting.

We were approved on Nov. 14. I called NVC on 22nd and they said they had not received it but I could call USCIS and find out when it left their office. The young lady I spoke with told me, "They ship the day they are approved. We don't hold them in our office." SO...on the 26th when it was still not at NVC I called back to USCIS and asked again for a shipping number. The wonderful person who took the time to look into it for me found that it is still sitting in TSC? So heartbreaking!! We are very fortunate that the NOA1-NOA2 came a lot faster than expected and appreciate all the efforts that are being made to improve the process. AHHH...the emotional aspect..the waiting game.

Do you mind me asking what number you called for the TSC?

I called the USCIS # 800-375-5283. I didn't get the answer from the first person I spoke to. I read the NOA2 where it stated that our petition has been approved and forwarded to the listed consulate. Which REALLY confused me. They put in a request for someone to call me back. That person said that it was tracked back to TSC still waiting to be shipped. I should call them back after Thanksgiving if I had not received information from NVC on case number. As of today...no case number yet.

[Natonstan 129]

My NOA2 says the same thing, forwarded to listed consulate rather than NVC! I'll call that number tomorrow to see if I can get anywhere, thanks for the help!

TSC sent me an email update when they shipped my case to the NVC, the same way I had been receiving all the other USCIS updates. My NOA2 was 10/28 and it shipped 11/06. Sorry yours is still waiting!

just got off the phone just now with the NVC visa representative, NOA2 October 24 here from TSC, and he said we were just on our 6 and half week of waiting and give it until 8 weeks before they will receive the file.
