Wish USCIS and NVC had an option like Amazon Prime ... LOL .. next day processing.. yes please..

Side note, only 8 days from NOA2 sofar (NOA2 physical copy received), called NVC still not yet received as of 01-26-2016 at 10:25am.

For anyone who is considering calling NVC, I called mid morning pressed Option 7, and only sat on hold for 10 minutes before someone answered the call.

If they don't have the case, all they will ask for is your USCIS WAC Number. If they have the case, you will need to provide them the following.

USCIS WAC Number

Petitioners Name

Beneficiary's Name

Beneficiary's DOB

Congratulations to those of you that recently got your approval!

I just called NVC this morning 13 days after our packet was approved. I called at 7am on the dot and was on the phone for less than 5 minutes. I was given my case number and invoice ID number!

Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Congratz! What is the next step are you going to do now that you got your case number and ID number from NVC?

NOA1's appear to get sent in the late afternoon.

NOA2's late evenings

Good to see someone else for Sydney consulate :idea:

looks like our NOA1s only few days apart, I sent my petition on the 19th of December, FedEx guarantee it to be delivered on the 22nd. But they messed it up and it was delivered on the 23rd. My notice date is the 28th December. Hopefully we'll hear something by next week. :joy:

We're actually only ONE day apart. My NOA1 was the 29th. Yay Sydney! She's moving a loooong way for me.

I love it there too though. We may end up back there in a few years
