March 2018 NOA2 ---> NVC thread

[Jin&Jordan 36]

I called the NVC today for the first time (8PM EST) and waited for about 10 minutes total to speak to an agent. She was very polite and she said our case did arrive and she was able to give me a case number!! Wow we did not expect that so soon. Things are speeding up!

 

9/5 filer

NOA2 3/6

14 days to receive NVC case number

 

On to the next stage!

Lucky you!! We're still waiting for our number at 19 days. Did they mention that your case is electronic? @Jessica829 mentioned that maybe the non-electronic cases receive case numbers faster.

I'm not going to call until tomorrow either. Our odds of good news are higher if we call fewer times, right?

Nope, no case number assigned yet. I just called and the lady with a monotonous voice said that it'll take 8 weeks to assign a case number. I'm gonna call again tomorrow. 

 

P.S: When I called, I pressed option 7 first but the person who answered said I should press option 5 so I did. Will try again tomorrow.

That means your case is electronic which might mean it takes a bit longer to get a case number but then it goes to the embassy faster.

Ha, right there with you! I'm stuck at home as we have another snow day and the temptation to call is almost unbearable!  Seriously i managed 215 days to get to the NOA2 but I can't wait 14 to call the NVC

I seriously doubt it! I just pulled the NOA2>NVC left numbers from the spreadsheet, and sorted the cases by their NVC left date. The average number of days from NOA2>NVC left since Feb. 1 is about 25 days. That average goes down to 23 days if I'm just looking at cases that have left NVC since March 1. 

 

So you can almost safely assume that your embassy should have your case 3-4 weeks after your NOA2 date.

Tomorrow will be the 3rd week after my noa2 date. I hope you're right dear.  

I will keep on calling 'till I have my case number!
