there's nothing really you can do but keep calling and wait at the moment, it took me 10-11 weeks to get a NVC number in Canada. Even though the supervisor will step in, they have 2-4 weeks to respond. I understand everyone wants to see the beloved family member sooner, we all are om the same boat. 

I was just told 6 weeks...

I am at 10 weeks now...and still no case number. My case was received January 31st. They are “very backed up” and a “little behind schedule.”  [i must have heard that about 100 times given that I have

Ok, I did some research. Not sure how up to date that travel.state.gov site is but they basically say if your receipt number begins with the below prefixes then email processing is required. The acron

They are super backed up at the moment, as you can see on the NVC filers topic. For pivot cases like Canada, it has been taking 8-10 weeks unfortunately.     Try calling again and asking for

so they're really backed up, just wait, meanwhile you can Check if you get everything ready for the AOS form and ds260 form, money(believe or not, i waited for 3 weeks just for the money, because my case# came out the end of month and all my money went to bills), all the tax forms, birth certificate from both of you, marriage certificate, passport photos taken, police certificate etc, have them scanned and those documents needs to be scaled down to less than 2 MB, it will help greatly reduce the wait time. and check, double check, triple check to avoid a checklist, otherwise it'll delay the processing time even more. too bad we can't take control over the data entry stage, but we can def be on top of sending all the paperworks. my 2 cents

Hi, since there seems to be a good amount of people here I will ask. We just got notice of NOA2. Next step is to call NV for case number, than designate me (petitioner) as agent. Also pay IV and AOS fees?

Going by the latest trends, in around 10 weeks after NVC receives it (see @aywang's post above, whose case is also pivot). :(

Hi! Please, how do I know if my case is pivot or not? 

Pivot cases usually take longer, correct? Are pivot cases those who are overseas? Is that the definition? Thanks in advance

Getting the case number takes longer, but then the processing is quicker.

 

Certain embassies do electronic processing, you can call the NVC to ask. What country are you from?

I'm in a frustrated wait as well.

 

Feb 7th     : USCIS mails I797

Feb 16th   : USCIS sends text message

Feb 27th   : NVC gives this receipt date to me when I call during 1st week of March

30 days after Feb 27th : Told that it will take 8 weeks to process

Mid April   : Told that NVC receipt date changed to April 7th !!!!!! No reason given

After many calls finally told that maybe file got transferred to some electronic system. And now have to wait another 8 weeks from April 7th?! How does that happen?!

Its been 12 weeks already!! Not they want us to wait 3 more weeks?!?!

Michael, call them. You are in your 8th week right now. If I got them to put in a request to a supervisor for my case number, you should be able to get that as well! Good luck :(

Hi all,

 

Just to keep you guys updated... I received my welcome letter from NVC. It was dated the 24th April (received in Australia earlier this week). So that took a little over 12 weeks.

 

Fees paid and waiting to get the next section done :)

Good luck on the rest, Michael! It took us much longer than we thought to gather everything... We even lost my police cert in the mail, but in a few days short of 2 weeks after we submitted everything, we got the notice that we were "documentarily qualified". I hope for you guys that it means that the NVC caught up some of their delays!
