Can anyone who has received their NVC case number recently tell me how long after NVC received their case did they receive the case number. I have been looking on other VJ members timelines and I have seen an average of 1 day. My case was received Friday and when I called today twice I was told it takes two weeks. Can anyone if they were told the same turnaround time? Thanks!!

Your assessment is correct: an average of 1 day. I can't imagine it would take more than a week. I'd call them back later this week and see if you got a case number yet.

Hi Alexy,

I just tried the number and it said "Your call can not be completed at this time please try again later."

I imagine Monday's are busy for them.

Keep trying.
