@AkesAngel are there really 2,693 December 27th cases?  I took case #1 50363 and subtracted it from the last one posted of 53056.  Your data says 438.  What am I doing wrong?  Let's say 50618 is our number.  Where does that put us in the line of December 27th cases?  I'm just curious and failing miserably figuring it out.

50618 would be the 134th case in the row of untouched cases of dec 27th, but since there's no logic behind how they work on cases ... no one can say when they will touch your case

Got mine just now, too! However, my plans to change embassy (Riyadh -> Manila) are in a bit of disarray now. I called 3 times and got 3 very different answers to the exact same question. Classic NVC. First person insisted that it cannot be done at NVC (the 6 people I spoke with prior to him claimed the opposite). Second person said they need to review the letter I sent previously requesting the change. Third person gave me an email address and format to make the embassy change request.

"1" is for English, which is what I'm assuming most people are using with NVC, and therefore would probaly have the longest wait.

Hi,  

 

I'm sure this has been posted/asked before... but do you know what's the phone number to call them?  I know they have 2 and one never gets answered. I wanna make sure my fiancé dials the right one, since he's kinda phone-phobic  don't wanna put him through any more anxiety (I was thinking i should be the one calling)

 

And any suggestions of what should I ask at NVC? LOL...  I'm so lost!

 

Thanks in advance!

Your fiance should ask if a case number has been assigned for his fiance's K-1.

Just be sure that he has the following information before he calls:

      Name and date of birth of the beneficiary

      Name and date of birth of the petitioner

      Receipt number from your NOA-2
