Was approved on December 20th which was over 2 weeks ago and was wondering if it's still too early to call NVC for case number? I know it was taking between 4 to 6 weeks for them to get it anyway. Also I'm the beneficiary so is it ok for me to even call them?

Not too early to call. We started calling after the first week. That doesn't mean they'll be able to tell you anything

And yes, you can call

In fact I've got my case number 2 weeks from my approval date of I-129F. That's being said, I have to say, CSC is well known on VJ for being slow sent the approval petition to NVC. But it is no harm started to calling them up now. Good luck!

Was approved on December 20th which was over 2 weeks ago and was wondering if it's still too early to call NVC for case number? I know it was taking between 4 to 6 weeks for them to get it anyway. Also I'm the beneficiary so is it ok for me to even call them?

Yes it's okay to start calling. I called twice a day until they had info. Just always be polite, whether the employee there is or not. If you get an employee that acts rude or is obviously not checking anything for you just be polite, say thanks, hang up and call right back. It is highly unlikely that you will get the same operator.

Good luck and GOD BLESS

Our file was sent to NVC on 12-17-13.so we are just about at 3 weeks. I know there is no harm in calling too early, but is 3 weeks too early for the call to be productive? I sent email one week ago, and i hear the turnaround time on that is 2 weeks.

If it takes another week or two that is OK. I just dont want to be sitting on my hands while things are happening with our file.

The holidays have to slow things down a little bit. After all, how many of us work hard at our jobs over the holidays?

So what it the consenus? Call or sit on it for another week?
