U think we can call NVC yet? or should we wait ?

Give it a try on Monday. If they don't have it, wait another day or two and try again. Can't hurt.

Doesn't hurt. I didn't have to wait on hold very long (10-15 min max?) and sounds like others didn't wait too long either. And it was received much sooner than I was thinking it would. You may be pleasantly surprised

Hello Everyone! I just wanted to encourage you. We filed our 129F form on August 4th. Everything flew through and we now have an appointment at the Embassy in Kiev on October 13th. I really thought it would take the five months we heard it would, but the whole process took only six weeks. I dont know how that happened, but we are certainly happy about it. We are really praying that the interview will go smoothly. Everything is ready.

I am a K-1 petitioner and the K-1 petition that I filed for my fiancee has been approved since September 11th. 2015. How do I find out the status of my case in NVC since after receiving NOA2 I don't have any update about my petition. What is the next step? how do I find out? Is there a website where I can enter the receipt number of petition to know the post NOA2 status? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

... So when NVC completes the assigning of a case number you will probably not get a notification since NVC will send the letter to you ... I recommend that if you want and need your case number you should call the NVC.

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)

I had the same question earlier that was answered by Greenbaum. You should call NVC (bold, red number above) and they will inform you if they have received your petition and the new Case number.

Once you get the new Case number you can use this at ceac.state.gov to see any updates (such as: At NVC, In Transit, Ready). When the embassy in your country receives your case they will notify you. Before that you won't get any notification unless you call yourself.

Today the US Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia called my fiancé and asked him for for all his social media account usernames (Facebook, Twitter, Skype), email addresses, and universities attended in the last 5 years to expedite the visa process before the interview. That was unexpected. Just putting that out there.

Why would they need all of that information? Never heard about that before..

He's from Saudi Arabia, that makes sence to me. : /

Called NVC Today and received my case number and invoice number. The agent told me that they had received my petition on Friday (10/2/2015) and that it will be on the way out shortly.

I'd never hear of such thing either, nor have I ever come a cross anyone else on VJ saying they've experienced this. I didn't think something like Twitter or Facebook would be important. About education/work, all of that is covered in the DS-160.

At least if they're gonna look into things they're being proactive about it and have been contacting us since the case arrived. Makes me optimistic that it won't take long to get our interview

Phone (for immigrant visa inquiries only):
(603) 334-0700. Customer Service Representatives can speak with you Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight EST, excluding holidays.

Phone (for nonimmigrant visa inquiries only):
(603) 334-0888. Customer Service Representatives can speak with you Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight EST, excluding holidays.

This is the NVC contact information. I would call the nonimmigrant visa #, correct?

U think we can call NVC yet? or should we wait ?

Hello Essiej! We have the same NOA2 date, so thought I'd let you know that I called NVC early this morning and they told me that they have not received my case yet. Let me know what you find out if you call them in the coming days. Of course, they told me to call after 30 days but we all know that will not be the case.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that we'll both get our case numbers this week!

My NOA2 date is 09/18. I should probably wait for at least a week more to call NVC, but I'm getting so impatient! Anyone with the same NOA2 date has made the call yet?
