Just ignore whatever the agent say about your case. I was told exactly the same thing when I called last week or a week before last week. I waited few days and called again yesterday. Not only I have the case number, the case already left NVC a day before I called. Good luck!

Gynott....absolutely disregard what they say!

I called on 8/7 (NVC) and they gave me case number, I have NOA2 dated July 29th. Then I called back again yesterday, basically a week later and the petition was sent to the Embassy on Monday 8/17, I just check the case status and it arrived to the U.S embassy today...so keep calling every day if you can...it gets annoying cuz the call doesn't get through most of the time, but be persistent =) GOOD LUCK!!!

Really frustrating.. :( weve been calling too, i dont wanna call anymore.. They will just say after 35days.. :( been waiting for 29days now.. And now im scared when we call them after 35days still have to wait more weeks.. Thats sound sooo depressing :( well i hope not.. :(

Crossing my fingers that my NOA2 will be today (or at least this week). My timeline estimated July 28-30. At this point I'd even prefer an RFE so at least I knew they were working on it.

Currently, everyone goes to CSC to ease TSC backlog. God luck!

I just received my NOA2! I was hesitant and confused filling out the forms, even after buying a book on the process. Then I found this site. This site was a great help in putting the application pa

I saw a few people who still haven't got their case number and the worry about the speech they give you. They don't track how many times you call as far as I'm aware and it doesn't hurt to call in the morning and at night. I called the day it was received from the NVC before getting on my flight and they said they didn't have it. When I called after getting to Australia, they informed me it was put in the system the day I had called, just later in the evening apparently. They had the numbers for me when I called on Monday and it was shipped out Tuesday night (day after numbers were assigned). I tracked our package on DHL and it is currently enroute to the Sydney embassy with an expected delivery date of the 21st. There is a large possibility it will be at the embassy before I leave back to the US next week.

Advice for those having issues with the NVC, the longest it took me to get to the que was about 10 minutes and the longest I was on hold to talk to someone was an hour and a half. Don't hang up! Eventually you will get through! Patience and persistence will get you the info you need. We were processed and shipped out in less than a month, even though they constantly preached to me every time I called about 35 days to put in system and another month to get a number. Don't give up! I would recommend calling later in the evening, about two hours before they close as the steps with ours all took place later in the evening.

This journey isn't easy...we went over many hurdles along the way... We are together now, 4 years going strong... It's never impossible, it is a matter of having the strength and love to conquer all things along the way!
