Hi Xie

 

Did you find out that they finally assigned your case number by calling today or did they send out an email alert? Just curious.  And, congrats!

Hi @JxJ we were able to get the case number by calling and the case is still “At NVC” as per the ceac website. Let us see if by the time my fiancé receives an email notification if the status will also change to “in transit” because ours is electronic. Hopefully you’ll get yours soon too.

Just talked to nvc today as well and told me they dont have my case either but when i called last friday they said they received it. 

 

Ugh. What does it mean exactly then?

Thank goodness I thought I was the only one and they honestly had me thinking I was crazy! 

 

I have no idea tho.. definitely confusing

Thing is.. one of our members who was “received “ last friday got their number today. 

 

I will try to call again later. This is actually quite scary. Don’t wanna go at the back of the line because uscis delivered truckload of new cases.

Do you mean it was received and now they're saying they didn't receive it? I am so confused by all dates because online for my petition it says approved 3/21 yet my notice date is 3/20 on the official NOA2 and I didn't get the hard copy until 3/23 but NVC still hasn't received it yet. I'm ok I suppose. We are still busy gathering things. Inshallah soon.

Exactly. Called Friday two separate people told me it was received called today now they are telling me they haven’t received it yet

We have the same dates. Per uscis it was 3/21, but copy says 3/20. And I called last friday and told me they received it. So i called today hoping they can give me number but nada.

@Greenbaum thank you so much for your responses. Also, I’m from india and on us travel immigration website it says that now k-1 is processed at Mumbai location but noa2 approval notice says New Delhi is as a consulate? Is that a generic mail sent? But why would USCIS send outdated info or has it changed to New Delhi?

When you get your case number and if it starts with BMB then Mumbai is your location or if your number starts with NWD then you are in New Delhi.

That's strange! Usually I don't get any other sentences from NVC other than what's your notice date ? Lol but the last guy had me laughing. He made it seem like USCIS just decided to send every approved petition to the NVC in the past day or so. Maybe the person at NVC typed the wrong number ? But I guess if two people said it's received that wouldn't make sense 

Lol that’s what they told me today too

 

the last woman I spoke to said the same thing that maybe they keyed the number in wrong, I was like I would think that’s possible with one person but not two different people

Yeah you're right. Hope for the best! I may give calling daily a rest and call in a few days. I'm too stressed with work to keep calling nvc to add more stress lol my boss saw it today on my face that I'm just tired! May consider a 4 day weekend to see the fiancé and hand deliver the documents needed. This process should come with free yoga classes 🧘‍♀️ 

Crossing my fingers! Haha 

 

i can definitely relate there! I think this process takes its toll on everyone which is unfortunate but the end result will be worth it!

 

I wish I could’ve done that honestly, 7 months without seeing each other is not nice lol but that’s awesome you guys can do that  

 

heck, they need to throw in a free honeymoon after all this

Okaaaay. Just spoke to another rep and still “not received “. Now that’s frustrating. I will try to call tomorrow. Doesn’t matter if they were backlogged coz it should’ve been on there system when it was seen by a rep last friday.

 

Maybe we should not call on a Monday folks. @Just-in-case18 @h&y

 

The stress is too real

I agree incredibly frustrating and honestly it has me on edge thinking the worst because it doesn’t just go from received to all of a sudden not 🙄

 

never calling on a Monday again! I’ll call tomorrow night.. hopefully we all hear something tomorrow

Hahaha that would be awesome! 

 

I cant imagine going 7 months! I was pretty lucky with work because we were mid- opening a new area at NYU so it was slow enough where I wasn't missed lol so I was able to take a trip every two months for about 10 days. But now forget it. That new area is open and I can barely get a day off but I told my boss that I may do a 4 day weekend even though that'll cost me 800$ round trip.. blah! 

 

Its hard to move forward but I kind of have no choice. I just put a deposit down on an apartment with a move in date of July 12. Trying to be positive and plan for his airport welcome eventually! Beats complaining I suppose lol 

That’s amazing honestly I would’ve killed to see him every couple months but we figured we’d save and wait for him to fly over permanently 

 

I honestly feel like just hopping on a plane tomorrow buuuuttt unfortunately with work it’s not possible  haha 

 

it certainly does!  our friends are going to go to the airport with me when he gets here, they’re just as excited to see him as I am lol

I put Chennai when I first applied, NVC corrected it and sent it to Mumbai. You can always call them and confirm.

Has anyone with an electronic case # seen their application leave NVC on the same day the case number is assigned? It's been a month since NOA2 so I want to get this show on the road!

Meeeee! Got the emails then I checked my case and it says "In transit" at the same day.

Any news on your NVC case number? Fingers crossed you get it soon. It's nice to be able to follow your timeline since you're just ahead of us and from Switzerland! I'm dying to know what documents they want, I just keep collecting the financial stuff just in case. Good luck and I hope you don't mind my lurking around your timeline

are u the swiss or the petitioner?

yes of course, feel free to follow our timeline! 

 

sadly - still no case number!

i called at 2am aka 8 pm their time, and still nada. at least i had daphne on the phone who i never

had on the phone before! lol it's just frustrating to see they got the case on 23rd, and i read that someone had the noa2 on 20th, nvc got it 30 and assigned same day. stuff like that is what makes me more frustrated.

i know they don't follow a strict structure on processing in order, but as a swiss and following strict guidelines and be fair and all that stuff,

this is hard to swallow... and i knoooow it can take up to 8 weeks and blablabla - and this is not to panic or have someone else feel it's wrong

to wait for weeks...

 

i have a good to do list for distraction so i keep doing all these million little things (not K1  related) that help get through the days now.

it's the circumstances that make everything hard. you (or your partner) as a swiss will understand, we have the 3 months notice periods in this country

for everything so we had to pick a date last year when to quit job/apartment and that's the hard part right now. knowing i moved out of my

home that used to be my comfy spot (end of jan) and i quit my job due to the location where my family stays (2 hour travel per way). so 

working 10-13 hours daily with all the responsibility and challenges, and now coming down from 100 to 0 is crazy.... for body and soul.

but we're almost there, that's why the to-do list i created will help to get through the next few weeks
