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

We are waiting still for our paperwork to arrive in Bahrain to the embassy. It left on September 2 according to the CEAC website and has been in transit ever since. I really hope it arrives this week!

I called NVC for the first time this morning, I was on hold for 48 minutes and then a lady came on and asked for our case number, she entered it in and then said that they received our case on Friday, September 18 and that it was no waiting on a case number to be assigned which should happen in 45 days and to call back then. I'm assuming based on everything everyone else has said I can just call back in a few days though, right?

What number are you guys calling to get your case number? I got my NOA2 on 9/16 and I haven't called.

I called (603) 334-0700. I got an automated "all our reps are busy call back later" message about 10 times before I got through and then I was on hold for 48 minutes. I called at 9AM EST.

Hope that helps you! :)

I called this AM for the first time and was on hold 13 minutes and there was no case number. Since there was no number to be had I was pretty happy my hold time was so short.

She told me it normally is taking 35 days (we're only on day 28 today) but I am going to try again in a couple of days just in case.

I was visiting my fiance in the US for 3 weeks so a lot of the time between NOA2 and now passed quickly but it seems to be in slow motion now that I'm back home. :)

Great! Thanks. I will give them a call.

NOA2: 31st August 2015

NVC Recieved 21st September 2015

Will be calling tomorrow to hopefully get my case number!

Checking on your embassy case number:

It will take 7 - 10 days business for NVC to receive your file from USCIS after you receive the NOA2, then another 2 - 5 business days for NVC to get your file in there system and get the case number. Call 7:00am eastern time for shorter wait times K1's are not tracked through the AVR, ever. They are processed like an immigrant visa, but they are NOT immigrant visas, so they fall into a completely different class of their own. Therefore you need an operator. To get there:

1-603-334-0700 or 603-334-0888. Operator assistance is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM (Eastern Time)

When you call the NVC you'll get a message to tell you all of their operators are currently busy. IF you hear a dialling tone before this message you will be placed in the queue, if you don't hear a tone then you will be instructed to call again. I found that knowing this greatly sped up the time it took me to get through to the NVC.
