Yes it's quite normal. Mine took a total of 9 (4 weeks to ship and 5 weeks to get case number) weeks before I got a case number. if your case a pivot case then it would take longer for assigning case number. 

you need to keep calling, there is no online tracking.

pivot case means you get to scan and upload your documents as opposed to mailing it in. It differs from country to country. 

check this link: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/collect-and-submit-forms-and-documents-to-the-nvc/step-6-submit-documents-to-the-nvc.html

if your case number begins with these letters they are pivot. and you can always call and ask if your case is pivot or not.

then you are a pivot case and normally people are getting their case numbers anywhere from 8-10 weeks from the time NVC received the case but you have an advantage because after that it's a breeze for you  pivot case have their completed in as little as 7 business days.

I cannot give you an exact time frame. Some receive their welcome email immediately while for others it takes around a week. So let's say 1 week for that online payment to open up and then another week for your payment to go through and open your DS- 260 form and upload your documents. Once that is done another week before your case is completed. So a total of 3 weeks. 

Interview is embassy dependent. NVC schedules interviews either end of the month, middle of the month or beginning of the month. This you can find by calling NVC.

 

You have to always scan the documents not take a picture.

I am non-pivot, so I don't know what format it should be in. You should be able to see the instructions when you are uploading.
