Hey guys....if your NOA2 is on or around June 23 call NVC....my fiance called around 9:30am and they told him wait 6 weeks...I called myself abou 20mins ago and they received our package abt an hour or two ago. No case number yet but they have it. Call and check yours cuz they seem to have gotten a bulk shipment this morning!

My fiance called yesterday and he was told that my DOB was incorrect! Which must mean it was received, and my NOA2 was June 23 as well.

Now I'm waiting to hear back that it's been corrected, another thing to wait for!!

The 2 week response is generic..its the "safe" response. I asked the guy on the line for a realistic time and he said honestly i can try by end of this week or so. Good luck!

YAY!! Congrats guys. I got case number the same day, maybe you'll get yours too. It's been sitting there in NVC since then... 2 days already. When you think the process is over another little waiting comes in play. Guess its gonna be like this until we have visa in our hands.

KANDIKANDI... we seem to be in the same slow moving boat(at least its moving) let's see how it goes on getting the NVC#

[Backpackers 19]

Wow congrats! We can't wait for our MCN! Did you see if September still has a lot of slots? Good luck!

Thanks. Yes, through August and September there were roughly 2 days a week with interviews available. Again, Philippines specific.

If this darn NVC # comes thru before Thurs. Gonna shoot for the same day Aug 8th.... from reading on the Forum if you have the interview on a Monday(And get an Approval) and have you Visa sent to Mall of Asia.. If every this as plan.. :oops: .... should have VISA in hand Friday.... But we all know how that goes but 4 of the last 5 cases i followed have been like this..

Backpackers.... do you have an idea on when you setting up the medical???

We're thinking August 3rd (and 4th if needed).

Question--is anyone with an NOA2 filling out their DS-160 before the petition gets to the NVC? I saw someone on the March forum had filled out one before it got to the NVC, but didn't know if this was okay for all or just certain countries.

I'm not sure how it works for other countries, but I think that for the UK you can fill it out and save it and then as soon as you get your case number from NVC you can submit it. I think that it what my fiance plans to do- he has filled it out in the past for a work visa and says that it takes ages to complete so he figured he might as well have it done now so we don't waste any time once we have our case number! lol

"You can save your application or return to a partially completed application. When you begin a new DS-160, you will be issued a unique application identification (ID) number after selecting and answering a security question. Once you have your application ID number and have selected and answered a security question, you may exit the DS-160 application and return to it later. You must have your application ID to return to your application. To save your DS-160 to the Consular Electronic Application Center website, click the Next button at the bottom of each page you complete. You have 30 days to return to a partially completed application. To access your application after 30 days, you must save it to your computer hard drive or a disk, as explained in the FAQ below."

I dont think its only for UK. Thats in general!

So I called NVC tonight, as it is exactly 3 weeks since NOA2 (June 28th) and they have not received our petition yet. I might call again in the next couple days, as it looks like some people here with dates close to mine have been receiving case #s.

[MickeyB 15]

Are there any others out there still waiting on NOA2? 97 days now.....cant get an answer on the phone number I found, its all automated. Does anyone have a number I can try so I can see if they at least still have my petition there and it hasn't been lost!!!! :clock: didn't think it would be taking this long

We are still waiting. April 12th ???
