It usually takes 7 days from CC date. You might want to call to double check why you have not received it yet.

Does anyone know how long that they took to get through September? Just trying to gauge if calculations are right. According to TheBigO's calculation it looks like I should start getting ready to hear something from the NVC the end of next week (of course with an Oct. 23rd scan date I know that I gotta give at least another week or so after that to really start getting ready). But would love to see if the average of this month will be the same throughout Oct.

Also, is the FB page active? I looked up visa journey and found a group but I have yet to be added and was wondering if it was worth trying to get added if they don't have any updates like I am looking for.

Haha awesome. I knew someone was being meticulous about this stuff. I've even been looking at people that have entered their timelines into Visa Journey - it looks like I have over 70 some files that were submitted before mine (and don't show a case complete) - that's counting from about September 29th though so it's gonna be awhile before I hear something.

But I can't stress and thank people that take the time to update this place with their CC's and timeline information when they actually do get a case completes. Why I thought it was so scary about the dreaded checklist is because most of the time I see people talking about it more than when they actually have a CC - and really, who can blame them...if I got it I'd be jumping for joy too!

But please don't forget about us who are looking at the clock and data mining the NVC which really needs a Six Sigma project in place to find all of the errors! :reading:
