I read and see that people get their 'case number'... our visa app is approved and sent to the Department of State. We have patiently waited and waited....

is there any advantage to having your case number, will it expedite the process????

any info is appreciated.. it is spouse visa from Philippines...

WOW you have some reading to do. You can't move forward without your case#. Please go to the NVC filers tread read post #1 and #2 and read up and follow the thread. You have much work to still do to get to interview.

Since its your I-130 that got approve you will be following the CR1/IR1 path. You should change your profile you aren't getting a K3 Visa.

Good information can be found here. http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/irstats.php?cfl=

Currently Phils seems to be at 170 days from NOA2 - Interview. You have only been waiting a little over a month. You have a bit more waiting to do.

Keep in mind CR-1 takes much longer then K-1. Are you sure the approvals you have been seeing are for CR-1?

Additionally, you had Thanksgiving, Christmas, and now New Year.

Just out of curiosity, why do you list your Consulate as Armenia?

I called two times a day. I never got scolded for calling. Just be nice and polite. It is highly unlikely that you will get the same operator on the same day. Also if you get an operator that is rude or it is obvious to you that they are not really checking anything just thank them politely and call back. You will almost certainly get another operator. Let's face it, we all have had bad days at work...if you get a disgruntled worker just call back.

Good luck and God Bless.

Yeah that's the same bull they tell me too. Not to call them they will call you. I have learned to stay on top of things.
