Hello all,

My wife and I just received our NVC Case number today! Yay! We were approved (NOA2) on December 9, 2013 at the Texas service center and the case was received by NVC on January 17th, 2014 to give you an idea of our timeline. I have one question now hopefully someone can help:

I was able to log into the payment portal online just fine however when I logged into the consular portal (the one where I am supposed to obtain the DS-261) it gave me this message :

"Please be advised that the case that you have attempted to access is not eligible for further processing by the National Visa Center at this time. Please contact the National Visa Center if you believe that you have received this message in error."

Any idea why? Maybe I just need to wait a bit longer for them to upload the forms? Thank you!

Yup! I got the same message, it means they are still entering your info and should take a few days but keep checking... Good luck!

What... 2.5 months for a case number!

[Nobby7 30]

You're definitely overthinking

1. Just put whatever is closest. It honestly doesn't matter.

2. As long as you don't put 'drug dealer' or something like that, you'll be fine Choose homemaker or secretary. Either is fine.

You're not going to get a checklist for something as insignificant as those types of questions.

Hello,

I chose student for my wife, since she has to go to school to learn the language before looking for a job as cashier.

Thanks for the input guys!

Yes, I'm definitely an overthinker

8 weeks seems to be the norm these days for getting a case number. I had seen many similar wait times when searching the forums over these few months.

Greetings All,

Apologies for potential duplication beforehand.

Should we include an alien registration number in completing the AOS i864EZ form and if so where or how would one go about locating said A-number?

Our NOA2 does not provide an A-Number.

With thanks,

[wheninlimbo 9]

We got our case number today as well

NVC received on February 14, even though we had our NOA2 on January 3rd (took a realllllyyyy long time to get there)

Our case was finally received by the NVC today!, two and a half weeks after our NOA2. Now more waiting….At least we are getting used to it. The operator said 20-30 days for a case number.

we got AOS & IV bill today. but my question is, why on IV bill invoice beneficiary's name is on maiden name? even i'm already using my husband's name ever since we filed I-130 and even on my passport name also. is it normal or it will affect on GC or visa production? thanks

How do you know when the case is received at NVC? Is there a website to check this or will the operator tell you that?

hi.. you need to keep bugging them everyday.. i mean you need to call them everyday.

No you don't. That's a personal choice. I called them every 3rd day to get the case number, and not at all between getting the case number and until a few days after I sent both packages.

I probably called more often between case complete and interview date and that was every second day.
