My petition was mailed to NVC on Feb 14. I called today (Feb 26) and they said they have received it but no case number had been assigned yet. Maybe I should try again Friday. That will be two full weeks. Congratulations to all those advancing forward. Everyday that passes puts us a day closer.

I hired an attorney to guide us through. I was in no way familiar with this process and didn't want to take any chances if I didn't have to. I hope in the end I can say it was money well spent.

How much time does it take for NVC to receive the file and to issue the case number? My fiance called NVC on Feb 26th but they said they have not received the file yet.

Please help.

I have been reading through this thread for what seems like an hour playing catch up. I am glad to see I am not the only November filer still waiting. I filed in November and received my NOA1 on Dec 5th. I am hoping hoping HOPING to hear something soon and see this thread light up with NOA2 announcements.

I know. :( It's not fair and it makes little sense. Just hang in there - it will come through.

The both of you can start calling NVC towards the end of next week. You need to give them enough time for NVC to physically receive the cases and process them.
