I mean should we try calling get case number??

Or we don't have to and wait??

Everyone seem to try calling so if that's what we need to do next then we will do it on mon :)

Thank you ;) good luck in your journey!

There is no reason to call NVC on Monday if you received your NOA2 on 3/6. TSC will notify you when it sends it to NVC. It will take at least a week before NVC gets your case.

This is another reason to hate USCIS. They don't even make an effort to appear like they're trying to work within their objective of 5 months for normal processing times. Today is my five month anni

Oh USCIS just emailed me to say my petition is sent to NVC for processing. Didn't realize it would do that. Will USCIS continue to keep me updated throughout the whole process (new # assigned, sent to the consulate, etc.)?

You can call ... it takes about 2 weeks to get through NVC and to the embassy, sometimes less but they will give you a new number that you can track. They will automatically forward it to the embassy anyway so it doesn't change anything, just gives you the ability to track it. The waiting time on the call can be 30 mins or more to get to talk to someone.

Be careful with your expectations. If you look at the stats for August, it's just approaching the 50% mark. There are plenty that haven't been approved yet, such as our petition. I can't tell you why some people get approved earlier than those who filed before them, but it can and does happen.

We certainly thought our petition would have been approved by now based upon the activity lately, but we're still waiting and our NOA1 date was toward the beginning of the month.

Some people get to be first, others get to be last. No telling where you're going to fall, so be careful about making plans based upon expectations rather than facts. It can burn you.

I'm looking forward to the same thing. Now if USCIS will just work a full week it may actually happen pretty soon for all of us.
