Today was root canal day for me. I had a run in with a crappy dentist three weeks ago, who sent me to the ER after drilling into my sinus and pouring bleach into it. Today I had a specialist go in and

Unfortunately i didn't ask when they received it, so i don't really know what update to do on my timeline, should i just add today;s date? That would be a bit confusing...

a good way to tell is to take your case number and calculate it from there. somebody posted this on VJ which was really cool. so, your case number will have:

 

ABC - first 3 letters which is your embassy code

2017 - next 4 digits for the year

650 - next 3 digits as the month and day your case was received / created (calculate like this, subtract 500 from 650, you have 150...count 150 days from jan 1 and that is your month and day. so in this example 650 refers to June 13)

001 - last 3 digits, which in this example means the first case number assigned on that day for your embassy

 

hope this helps! =)

I just called the NVC to see if they received my file. The lady who answered was ever so lovely she even apologized for making me wait while she was typing some bits.

 

I had this feeling they received it because usually the conversation ends shortly after i give them my USCIS case number, by telling me they don't have it, but this time they asked me for my DOB, full name and my fiance's full name. And i was right. They gave me a case track number, and an invoice number (which i dunno what it's for, I'm hoping one of you dears would shine a light on that for me).

 

I went to the CEAC website and it says my file is "At NVC". Unfortunately i didn't ask when they received it, so i don't really know what update to do on my timeline, should i just add today;s date? That would be a bit confusing...

I knew when I saw yours was received that mine likely was too because your date is right after mine. I figured we were mailed in the same batch. Called the non-immigrant line and sure enough, was received last night. Moving right along!! Yes! :D

So email to ombudsman did nothing, they wouldn't do anything without their form filled out, so I did that. I suggest others who are late like me do it too and complain about the non updated processing times, which prevent us from doing case inquiries and are a complete farse and the non updated tracker....maybe if enough of us complain they will move on it since they've already been on USCIS for this problem. Just a thought...

Some info, specially to those with Brazilian beneficiaries:

 

41 days after the NOA2, I was able to schedule my interview (that will happen 2 months after the NOA2). Everything was electronically sent.

- 06/22: emails to petitioner from NVC with subjects "Notice regarding your immigration visa case" and "Immigration visa case has been expedited"

- 06/23: Filled the DS-160 here. No fee to be paid yet.

- 06/27: email from Brazilian consulate, sent to petitioner and beneficiary. Subject is the NVC number case and beneficiary's name, with directions to schedule the interview. In the email, they explain that you will have to choose the option "I have received a letter from the consular section with instructions to register or schedule a K visa appointment" and pay the fee only after registering at this scheduling website. And that you will need your NVC case number and the DS-160 number (so that's why you fill the DS-160 before).

-  I was able to schedule only today (06/28). So it takes some time after you get the email. Register, choose delivery options (for the passport with K1 visa), pay (CC or money), pick a date.

- Basically all Tuesdays, starting from July 11th, were available to schedule the interview. I chose the 18th to have time for the medical.

 

Thank you!! I have tickets to go to Brazil in August in the hopes of being there for the interview. Looks like there is hope of it working.

Just tried again at the 603-334-0888 number and they did not receive it yet.  Thanks for the heads up though :)

I only ever called the 603-334-0700 and that is where I got my answer. That is the Immigrant line and that is what this is considered at this point.

Wow thats crazy fast! 

From my experience NVC recieved my packet 2 weeks after my NOA2 and assigned a case number about a week after they recieved it. 

When I called yesterday, they said they received my case Monday and they had the number to give me. Who know what is true and what isn't :/

The truth varies depending on who you talk to :)

Well apparently you can call both the immigrant line (603-334-0700 ) and the non immigrant line (603-334-0888) to find out if your case has been received. 

I received my case number by calling the non immigrant number. I've never called the immigrant line.
