yayyy congrats! yes it's super exciting to be so close! but I still feel like I have a million things to do LOL! I mailed out all my paperwork to brazil today for my fiancé to bring with him!! eeeeeeeeeek I feel like I'm forgetting something lol!!

It's so exciting to be able to look at the CEAC and see the case in the Ready status. :)

Ours case status also went ready. We are so excited! I am just scrambling around trying to get everything printed and ready to send to him, before he ends up having his interview date set.

This is all really exciting! :goofy:

thank you, thank you! hehe yeah it felt like it was taking forever because there's nowhere to check the status (like when it was at USCIS hahaha). best of luck to you too!! WE GOT THIS!! :)

Good stuff!! The wait between the NOA2 approval and NVC/Embassy receive is daunting, glad everything is coming together for you guys! I pray everything continues to go well and fast for you and everyone else :)

Hi guys,

I'm possibly just being impatient but I received my NOA2 on June 12 and I've called the NVC a handful of times after the two-week mark and still nothing. Just to make sure, I should be calling the 603-334-0700 number-- correct? They always start with that automated message about a non-immigrant line and I wasn't sure if that was the line I should have been calling all along.

yep! that's the right number. just a question...by "nothing" do you mean they don't have a case number for you yet? or just that you haven't been able to get through? because if it's just that you can't get through, you have to keep redialing...sometimes 30, 40, 50+ times in a row. even when you "get through" it's still an automated message at first, but it's different than the "busy" one. so just make sure you listen to it for a second before you hang up to redial. once you get through that, you might be on hold for up to 30+ minutes. :( but they "should" have a case number for you by now. my NOA2 was june 11th and the case number was assigned on the 27th. good luck!

Ahh, thanks! And yes, they just keep telling me they haven't received it yet and give me the standard "35 day wait" spiel. I keep thinking it should be ready any day now, so here's hoping it's this week!

does anyone still not have a working case number? we got ours almost a month ago and have done everything up to the actual interview, but the case number still just brings back this error.

  • Invalid Application ID or Case Number.

i'm just wondering if this is unusual, and kind of worried about tracking it after the interview.

On the CEAC website, make sure you are entering under "immigrant visa" - I know that I get that message when I tried putting my case number in under nonimmigrant visa.

congrats! depends on your country. some countries, once you have the case number, you can schedule your interview online (others you aren't able to do that). read up on your country's forum and see what happens next! but at the very least, with the case number, you can track your case on the CEAC website to see when it arrives at the embassy!! :)

Just got my NVC Number !! Whoohoooo !! So what's next ? What does that do for us? Anyone can help ? Thanks!

Hey everyone - finally got through to NVC long enough for them to tell me they received our packet from USCIS, but she transferred me before I could get a case number, and then I was disconnected. I've heard people talk about looking at the DHL tracking to see packages going to their respective countries. Can someone tell me how I do that? Thanks!

well thats good! but that sucks that they transferred you...because they are supposed to give you the case number before they transfer you lol. to do the dhl thing, its helpful to have the date your case was processed and case number was created, so you know what date range to search.

you can try it though. go to the DHL website and search by shippers reference

your example should look like this: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/549544-april-filers-after-noa2-nvc-csc/?p=7703005 (someone in this group posted this the other day).

my case number was assigned on 6/27. I found mine like this:

EXP 30 JUN 2015A

and for the range i put 6/27/15 to whatever the current date was when i searched

good luck!

Thank you!! I called back and amazingly got through. She wouldn't give me the case number before she transferred me again, so I'm on hold for now. Fingers crossed I have a better result this time :)
