Exciting, congrats! 21 days seems like one of the fastest times I've seen (and usually those times are at the California Service Center) ! Here's hoping it's a trend and the NOA2s for the rest of us

Hello,

My petition was approved on August 27,2015 by the California service center. What is the time frame NVC should recieve it?.

Hello! I was already upset about this - we were approved on August 18th and we were told at NVC that its 35 days for NVC to get case from Califormia Center. (((( So we wait.... we tried to call hoping its sooner but no, not there yet.

Good morning Guys

Do not lose your hope, They told me the same and I remember on day a lady told me to wait 45 days and I got my case and invoice number next day from another Agent Basically only took 11 days from CSC to NVC

She told me that I have to wait to make the payments, I went by and make my AOS payment right there and they sent me by email an bar code cover letter to be mailed with my financial documents.

But my IV for some reason can not be paid online yet.

Good Luck to all Blessings

From other people at CSC it seems like mostly it's between 2 and 3 weeks that they receive it at NVC, right now. Mine has been just over 2 weeks and they don't have it yet.

There are always a few people whose things go through more quickly though :shrug: so it looks like it doesn't hurt to call and check. Depends on your tolerance for disappointment, I guess! ;)

NOA2 email was received tonight - August 18. Less than 2 months after NOA1 on June 24.

Will be on vacation the next three weeks then can start calling NVC as soon as I get back.

My wife is asking...assuming everything goes smoothly, what's the fastest timeline from here we could hope for a visa approval from embassy?

Called NVC tonight. Once I finally got through, they said they received the petition on August 31 - about 2 weeks after NOA2, as others were saying above. (The case status on the USCIS website was never updated to say they sent it to NVC, so don't count on that)

No case number assigned yet, with the officer saying it could take up to 30 days after Sept 4 to be assigned.

I will call back late this week nonetheless.

The same thing. Last week NVC didn`t admit they got a case and yesterday they finally told they got the case on September, 8th. No numbers yet - please wait patiently for 42 days since that date. Of course we will try to call again and again. But that`s frustrating.

We are also in Saskatchewan - Regina.

Received our NOA2 from California Service Center on August 17th. Received our NVC Welcome Letter yesterday.

Completed our DS-261 & paid AOS fee.

I'm a USC who has lived in Canada for the last 17 years. We plan on staying up here and moving when my husband receives his Visa.

So if you don't mind me asking where are you having your medical done ?
