Petitions for beneficiaries based in the Philippines are expedited.

Don't get your hopes too high when you see a timeline where the beneficiary is Filipino.

:-( well I'm happy for you but sad at that news. I still have my fingers crossed for the "filed from abroad applications are often expedited" news that I have heard. I wish you all the best with your application.

DACA renewals better be handled by NBC! NOT service centers! Also, if NSC wants their Feb numbers look better than sh*t, today is their last chance to fix it! come on NSC, start approving!!!!

Ok, Team NSC at Visa Journey! Let's pull all collective energy together so that some of us can get NOA2s today! There haven't been many (if at all) this week so far. I'm praying that all or at leas

Hey congrats. When exactly was your case number assigned?

According to the letter, it was assigned on April 6th. I had called last week and they had just received the petition on the 28th of March and told me to call back in 42 days. I got 2 emails this afternoon. One addressed to me and one that was addressed to my husband as well. 9 days from receipt to case # assigned is not too bad.

My husbands noa2 was approved March 31st...should I follow up with nvc tomorrow?

You can, or you can wait a couple more days and hopefully you will get the notification like I did. I was going to call again early next week, but thankfully now I don't have to.

My husbands noa2 was approved March 31st...should I follow up with nvc tomorrow?

I'm sorry, I misread what you wrote. You just got your NOA 2 ? I'd wait awhile. It took from March 9 to March 28th for the NVC to get our petition.

My husbands noa2 was approved March 31st...should I follow up with nvc tomorrow?

My husband was approved that same day. Just today I received the hard copy NOA2. I have been following a lot of timelines that previously got approved and sadly they've all been taking longer then 2 weeks until they're finally at NVC. We just have to be patient. The longest part of the wait is over NVC is faster and runs smoother from what I've heard.

Rodriguez,

We are on similar timeline. I just got the case number assigned. You should call them asap.

Omg tell me all about it. What day did NVC receive your case? Was you case number assigned exactly 4/7? And did you call to confirm it or did you receive welcome letter email?

Sorry for all the questions but I’m at work and can’t call right now so I’m having an attack LOL
