No news here either. :(

Happy birthday!!! I hope you do hear something good today or tomorrow!!!!

When can we start calling USCIS to inquire about our petition?

After 5 months - which is the stated timeframe on the official USCIS processing times page. If you call before then, they will basically tell you nothing and say to call back later, or so that's what's been described in all other posts I've seen.

Well I'm hoping and praying I get an approval today or tomorrow since tomorrow is my birthday. It would be s nice birthday gift. Sending good vibes to everyone.

Happy Bday! Mine's this week too. I've been thinking it would be kinda funny (and perhaps slightly annoying) if they were waiting until then to post news, haha.

Good luck!

Congratulations to all that have recently been approved!

Happy Birthday to those celebrating, I hope an approval gives you more reason to celebrate this birthday!

To those still waiting, I'm praying you hear soon. Things seem to speeding along, hang on, it won't be long!

Has anyone else noticed that lately when people are receiving the post decision activity email they are getting case numbers within a couple weeks? Maybe it's just a coincidence I've noticed, and there's nothing to it. It's pointless to try to figure out a pattern with this process! Lol!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Ive noticed people are getting their case numbers quicker than before... 2 to 3 weeks max wait time...I am praying to get my noa2 soon, which i doubt it:( it seems uscis is slower and ncv is picking up faster this month, it was the opposite last month...right?

I think it was USCIS all along slowing things down, and taking forever to approve, and send to NVC. But then again, who really knows, the both blame the other agency! Lol!

For the sake of all here, I hope it's USCIS that's speeding up!

After NOA 2 your fiancé can begin calling NVC (usually after 2 weeks) and asking for a case number once received. Then you can track it when it leaves to the embassy. After that it's waiting on package 3 for your embassy. Check out the portal for your country. You can really get a lot of good info there. Some countries allow you to schedule your own interview online, and that would speed things up quite a bit.
