So they accepted almost all our documents... We got a checklist for my birth certificate, no idea why, cause it's exactly the one they ask for.

Called NVC, the operator also didn't understand why it was rejected, she is sending the case to a supervisor. 

Praying that it’s a quick fix for you!

Seems like a lot of people are sad that my case got CC this quick. I shared it with the group, so we all understand that NVC can be unpredictable. I didn't expect anything this fast. Happy to be lucky on this one, but I will hold my future updates, as it apparently upsets a lot of people, all rightfully frustrated about their cases. 

No, no. Please keep us updated. Awesome news for you :) and you are right, NVC is extremely unpredictable. I’ve been waiting for a CC since May 30th. There’s always hope!

These things must be so personal to the specific person reviewing the case. We accidentally submitted our joint sponsor's information twice, and then 2 copies of the petitioner's birth certificate (the first one was upside down) and they accepted every single document. The duplicates and upside-down birth certificate as well. But you get guff over something that you did correctly? 

 

The NVC has got to be one of the weirdest things in the US.

 

I hope it gets remedied really quickly for you!

Absolutely. I think it also doesn't help that my birth certificate is from a different country than my country of residence with the former non-pivot and the latter newly pivot. I assume that the pivot department had very limited exposure to that specific document.

Still awaiting case # here, I am at the 8 weeks. Called today and still no number so they escalated to a supervisor with another 6 week possible wait. Fingers crossed it comes in the next week or two.

Almost 7 weeks. Waiting for case number. Good luck to you.

Anybody happen to know if beneficiary country affects the time to get CC? I know there's a difference between pivot and non, but was wondering if all pivot cases go into the same pool.

What is pivot and non-pivot?
