Congrats to everyone who received their NOA2! Seems like you guys are averaging 2-3 weeks from NOA1 to NOA2. Thats crazy. I hope we August fillers are going to get our approvals just as fast. Good lu

Probably a dumb question but why is everyone so eagerly stalking the NVC for the case #?

Just because you need it to do packet 3? Or are there other reasons I'm not seeing?

thanks!

thanks!

Right, you need the case number to send Packet 3, and you also use it to estimate (using CEAC, the online visa case status tracker) or find out (by calling/emailing the embassy) when your case has arrived at the embassy. If you send Packet 3 before it arrives and is logged, they will ignore your Packet 3 email.

Also, many embassies seem to be very slow about actually sending P3, if they send it at all, so us eager beavers are looking to expedite the process a bit by staying on top of things. In the meantime, the beneficiary can begin collecting the items specified in Packet 3 (BC, police certificate, court records, relationship evidence, I-134 Affidavit of Support, etc etc) . Don't forget you need a long form birth certificate for Canada, the one that has the parents names on it! :)

Great! Thank you for your super helpful reply! :)

Your getting some good advice here in the thread for July 2015 filers. You would be better served if you were to not only stay in this thread but also go to the sub regional thread for your country. Lots of veterans there that can help you along the way.

I help those who are chasing the K1 for the Philippines so I can't be much help.
