Sept 28 NOA2 and still no case number? what should we do?

[asael1987 0]

Hello all, on sept 29th we received the electronic NOA2 saying everything was good and it was being shipped off to NvC followed by the physical letter stating the same about a week later

today is Nov. 17, and we still haven't received our letter stating our case number, however today on a whim i logged on to uscis and it said that

Case Was Sent To The Department of State

On October 24, 2014, we sent your case....

Where does this date land the timeline and what does it mean?

thank you for any input!

My case was processed at Nebraska also and the same thing happened to me. Mines was approved Sept 23 and then got a 2nd message shipped on Oct 15. I have not received anything at all from NVC, but I have been calling them. They said they received my file on October 23, but I do not have a case number because they are behind and it could take up to 46 D A Y S to get a case number. You may want to call them and check up on your case. Maybe the Nebraska office is not doing something correctly.

Is taking about 40 to 60 days to get case#. Maybe by end of November you will have case#. I would call NVC to make sure they have at least received it. Do not sit around thinking things are moving along as you see you thought over a month ago things were sent and they weren't.

Call NVC ask have you received my petition. Of course you will know if you have a case # soon as you give them your receipt# and names. Good luck.

nothing yet as until today my phone calls werent getting through it would say this number is not working, (the NVC number and the DOS would tell me to call NVC)

so today i finally decided to call from my mexican cellphone (not cheap) and I am currently on hold....

my local home phone in MX is through Nettalk (with a US number and I dont now why it wont get through to the NVC, but it does to DOS and any other US numbers blahhh)

[REM4ALWAYS 18]

The quickest way to get through and avoid the busy signal is to call early in the morning, when they first open! You will stills have to wait about 20-30 minutes on hold.

I use skype credit to make US calls from home (UK) which works out a lot cheaper, not sure if this works for the NVC number (although I imagine it does) but might be worth trying if you ever need to call in the future!

Hope you get through soon and have good news!

Ah thanks, well the rate to call the US is the same as to call a MX number from my cell phone so its not that crazy but its still some money but its cheaper than skype..but thanks for the tip. nevertheless i was on hold for like 10 mins then I had to hang up, because a kid who I tutor showed up early, I'll call tomorrow early

Thanks, I'll try that, tomorrow morning luckily i am on central time and they open at 7 EST, otherwise I wouldn't be able to since I go to work at 730am.

I've read the NVC Process thread, any other tips you can share? It says simply to have me and wife's info handy as well as our USCIS receipt number, is that pretty much it?

well today i called at 7am, from three different numbers and it never ringed, just went straight to busy signal and hung up itself....are they on vacation still or what?

This happened to us. You just keep pressing redial until it connects. I'm not sure anyone is available on the phones until 8am though. We are currently on hold. We had to press redial at least four times before it stopped hanging up on itself- just means they're really busy I guess!

[Phillip Kazuto 28]

Well the new month has started so you should expect them to very busy because people will call as well to gather information about their case , i'd suggest you calling at mid-week Morning , Calling on Monday and Friday will result in long waiting time to get through.

I normally wait around 20 mins.

[REM4ALWAYS 18]

Calling on Friday is good too. You can tweet them too @Travelgov Someone complained on Twitter a while ago about the phones, and they claimed they were not aware of the situation, but it mysteriously was fixed after that tweet. It's such a shame that they funded with tax dollars and are allowed to operate at this level of incompetence.

[Pheebs1201 269]

When I called today I was told it takes at least 35 days for them to receive approved petitions and not to phone back until after then. I'm sure that's inaccurate? 35 days- really?
