February 2017 I-129F Filers

I called the NVC today and received my case number. Does this mean we can fill out the D-160 now or do we have to wait for the physical letter?

My fiancee wants to call USCIS herself, but from the UK, that's quite expensive. Does anyone know of any cheap international phone services? Maybe some online setup?

I called them and tried. 

They won't speak to the beneficiary unless the petitioner there with them 😒

 

I don't trust them much so I attempted this 2-3 times. 

one to ask a general question (non case specific) - where I did actually get referred to a tier 2 officer but they can't arrange international call backs!

I believe it depends on the consulate/country because some countries allow you to start the D-160 if you have a NVC number. Also I want to call NVC but don't know which number to call. Can you please tell me the number? I got approved 5/19, I wanted to follow up and track.

We managed to do it here in England, but it was with my fiance's american phone number so they can call international but i guess they choose not to if its an international number.

 

Useless anyway, tier 2 are just as clueless as tier 1!

Thanks. Yes, it was the international call back that I was trying to figure out, with any of these VOIP services. Sounds like it doesn't matter anyway. You know, them not talking to the beneficiary is not much different than what the petitioner experiences.

603-334-0700 sometimes the number hangs up but just keep calling until you have the options to press buttons. I was on hold for about 15 minutes

I know I was told to call and get invoice # and case # which I did, and the beneficiary needs passport cuz they ask for #'s on ds160 other than those #'a its basic name address, parents names, work, school history,

[bostonBruce 38]

yes keep calling after even 30 seconds later I was put on hold for 15 too, have names and date of births and yur good, then make sure u have passport when doing the ds160 and print out the barcode at end to bring on interview,

I really don't kno y we have to send the whole i129f file that's expensive to send, was hoping just the nois and 129 application pages?

So approvals dropped off again today. Was working Friday, they did maintenance 2 days later, approvals no longer work. Best I can figure is they realized it was working and did an emergency maintenance to break it so that they can meet their "make them suffer" quota.

I wrote some code that scrapes the I-129F cases from the USCIS website online case checker using some regular expressions, rotating iPs and such.

My NOA2 was approved two days before you 5/17, and the NVC told me that I was entered into the computer and received a case number today
