Case number still not working

It's a US government holiday today, so I'm not surprised that nothing is updated. Try again tomorrow and Wednesday, if it's not working by then, then you may have to follow up.

You get a letter from NVC also, and it's in packet three that the beneficiary receives

So the only way to know if you have case number beforehand is through calling them? I mean if the letter is with the packet, no email? And oh, may I ask too if you receive the packet in your home address or consulate address?

I'm worried a bit because I have a bit different situation, btw, I am the beneficiary, I am from the Philippines but I am currently working here at Canada, me and my fiancé are just 45 mins away! (In this case I am lucky I think ???) but if the embassy will send the packet In Philippines consulate, I'm worried if they will send it in the Philippines or in Philippines consulate here at Canada. Or I hope they will send it to my home address!

The case number is in the letter from NVC that gets sent to the petitioner and in "packet three" that is sent to the beneficiary. Where your petition is sent depends on what consulate you wrote on your original application. Where your packet three is sent depends on what mailing address you wrote on the G325a. Hope that helps!

By the last week of february.. It's crazy, I know! I still haven't prepared my requirements yet. I hope to be able to get everything done at the right time :D

I can't get through to the NVC this morning. I'm west coast and I couldn't drag myself out of bed at 5, so I started calling at 6:30. I've been calling every 2 minutes for the last hour and I just get the busy signal.

Today is day 33.... I bet they have my case number, I just can't get through to get it. Worst system ever.

Actually our interview is Jan 29th. We are hoping that is goes smooth and she can have the visa before Feb 6th and if so she will fly here for good on Feb 9th.

After 30+ min on hold, I was able to get in touch with NVC. FINALLY our form has arrived and we got our case number MTL xxxxxxxxx. She told me to call back next week to check on our case status.

To all the NOA 2, hang in there and keep calling them. Looks like NVC is starting to receive a whole bunch of NOA 2 from each service center.

[andymack 19]

Rhaenarys, that's so frustrating

LBCTT, don't call back. Now that you have your case number, you can just check the status online!

I checked my status today - my case in transit to the consulate! I am already getting my packet 3 stuff organized because as soon as the CEAC website says "ready" I am emailing it in.

I'm getting so discouraged about this whole process. It's two months today since USCIS received my case and not a word, not even an RFE. I didn't think it was a complicated petition but watching other people get approved has me wondering why ours is just sitting. Is it because we're a same-sex couple? Because I'm divorced? It's just such a bummer. And I know other people have been waiting longer and I feel for all of you!

[musique 16]

Thanks guys! @chrisandcoria The earliest I could do was Jan 28 but that's too early for me since I don't have my requirements ready yet + medical exam still need to be done... I'm juggling betweeen clerkship, research studies and visa application.. Crazzzzyyyyyyy.

I hope you get the visa the soonest! tell us how the interview goes!

@23dave, thank you!

Hello Emily

We're in the exact same situation. The received our case at the start of November and we haven't heard a word since. My Fiancee called today and was told that the Texas centre we processing through "are dealing with a big backlog; and are only doing thirty a month", and they they are currently only processing petitions from June, so we're not to expect anything else until May...

Very disheartening.
