COngrats...!

I am glad california center is working hard.

Looks like everything is so far so good for everyone.

I'm going to call the NVC tomorrow to get my case number but I was wondering - does anyone know roughly how long it takes after being approved and getting your NOA2? I'm just trying to figure out when it'll look like I'll be able to move out there.

ALSO is it fine for the beneficiary to call and get the case number or does it have to be the petitioner?

I just called the NVC to see if they had received our package and unfortunately nothing yet :( We received our approval notice 30th of July - the representative said that currently the NVC is looking at 35 days rather than two weeks but to try again in a week.. so we're looking at September 3rd. He was very helpful, but he did say that at the moment they're looking at 35 days for almost all cases to reach them and receive a case number.

Hopefully it'll be sooner for us all. But I will try again a week from today :)

All good things take time and it's all for a reason so I am not going to be upset.. We want to get this right, obviously we all do, but it'll be worth the wait for that WONDERFUL day when I walk off the plane and into my fiance's arms knowing we're never to be apart again :D

Congrats to everyone who has been approved!

I just received our hardcopy NOA2, notice date August 6.

Thanks for the update Rhiand17. Though the 35 days thing seems to be the stock response when you call "too early". I'm tempted to call tomorrow (T+1 week) but I think I will try to hold off a bit more :) And then call every 2-3 days after that if it's not ready yet.

I wanna say I have time same timeline as yours and I am still waiting... patiently ( :clock: ). But they recieved our package on the 27th and we got an email on the 30th. All these amazing stories are making me a little excited and nervous at the same time. I am trying to hang in there....! I have the USCIS case status page open at all times while I am working and keep refreshing every half hour ! lol. Maybe its too early to do that just yet!
