There used to be a automated system when you called NVC but it's been down since forever. Your other option would be to wait for the confirmation letter from NVC which has the case number on it. But for sure the fastest way is to keep calling and get it from them directly. Just be prepared to redial a good 20-30x especially during peak hours.

The letter from NVC is hit or miss in terms of ever actually receiving it based on individual postings on VJ. I received one, but I'm one of the select few I think.

Amarillo, I sent mine about the same time as you and I am from Cleveland. I am hoping that mine gets sent to CSC as well!! Hoping that maybe they are sending Ohio apps to Cali. My fingers are crossed

I received the email on the same day, December 4th and got TSC and haven't gotten the letter yet. I think we are right in that 7-10 business days time frame though. I am not sure Saturday for U.S. mai

I don't think you actually need it do you?

I haven't heard of a need for it, except to say you have your case number and that it was sent.

Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.
Hebrews 11:6 - And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Im learning that everyone is different but for the Philippines you need it for the medical. Thanks to the help I got from this board, I was told to print out a screen shot of the NVC website showing our status and they accepted thaf thabk goodness.

So when calling the NVC do you really need your fiancee's passport number and how it is written on her passport?

Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.
Hebrews 11:6 - And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Thanks for the information, I was wondering about that when calling. I know it is early yet, but was curious.

Yep just keep calling back every other day until you get it. Don't get frustrated by the busy message... Hopefully they can tell you when your package was mailed out to the embassy too so you can track it's transit via the DHL site.

Remember to get the case number AND the invoice number so you can track your process on the CEAC site later and fill out your DS160 form online. If you speak to a nice officer they usually give you both automatically but just in case. cheers!

What are some things you asked, I laughed afterwards because I got the standard, cannot give you information until after 35 day reply. She was a nice lady though.

They will always give you that speech if your info isn't in the system yet or they are just too lazy to even check... call back again until you get it. I called about 3 weeks after receiving my NOA1. I got a really nice guy that was super helpful in answering all my questions. First i confirmed with him if NVC had received my packet. One what date so i could update my timeline. Then I asked him if my packet had been sent to the consulate yet? Then on what date? Also confirmed if they would be sending me a hardcopy NOA2 letter. I finally thanked him for his great customer service and wished him a good weekend.
