[Juddand sheryl 2]

I called the NVC this morning they stated the received my packet this morning and I have to wait 4 weeks so my question is Ive noticed everyone gets there case number with in a few days is 4 weeks a norm

The usual answer for NVC to give you a number is 35 days. It really does depend sometimes it takes 35 days, sometimes it takes far less than that. It might even take a week. BUt when you call them they will always tell you the answer that it will take 35 days for a case number to be assigned.

When I called the person said that they received my file that same morning and he gave me my case number immediately after I confirmed my identity to him, the Nvc only had my case for less than 5 days then it was sent to the embassy in Bogota, that is when everything stopped because as of now is still can't schedule a date for my interview. I was told it might take 3 weeks to a Month just to sit waiting for a date to open up.

Im at least grateful that they received it finally been calling everyday for weeks I am just hoping it doesnt take another 4 weeks to get my MNL# like I said following other timelines it happened with in a few days if not the same day.

Keep calling everyday until they give you the case number. It moves much faster now. Get your documents organized to send to your fiancee for the interview. My fiance had her medical 3 weeks after we got the case number and the interview the next week. You are very close now!!!

Nope, nowadays it's taking 21-30 days or so. From my experience and few others who had the same NOA2 date and close to my NOA2 date. If I were you I'd start calling them after 2 weeks.

It really does depend, a friend of mine that is also doing the I-129f got approved in one week from the NVC, just like USCIS that it approves the applications NVC as well does the same thing, so its just luck sometimes.

Maybe I phrased my statement and question wrong I got my NOA2 on the 29th Ive call every day for 2 weeks this morning when I call they finally stated it was received and they just had to scan all the docs but I should check back after 4 weeks. So my question is has this happened to others because ive noticed some or most after the NVC receives the paperwork they get there MNL# number within a few day of that occurring

Maybe Im over thinking the process

They will always tell you to wait. Don't wait, keep calling every day until you get you MNL#. I receive our MNL# the day after they received our petition.

I think that's their standard answer. I have no idea when it arrived at NVC, I didn't even call until yesterday (26th) and they had just assigned a number the day before (25th). It left TSC on the 17th, if that helps.

It's not a big deal, I wasn't even planning on calling at all because I figured we'd hear from the embassy in 3-5 weeks. I wound up calling out of sheer curiosity and because there's a new case tracker for NVC and I wanted to see where I was in it.

Maybe Im being a little impatient we have everything ready to go. I just miss my fiance terribly and want to start the last stage so she can interview and god willing get approved. trying to plan a November wedding is hard when there is so much uncertainty

You have to call them early in the morning, around 7:00 am EST (Eastern Standard Time) and you will get through to them.
If you call later you will be on the phone for hours!
