They aren't past 10.15 yet.  Calling is a waste of time for you at the moment.   I am 10.20 and I won't call for at least a week

Mine took 12 days.
Approved oct 3rd, Received 15th, case number 16th. but from then on, just waited until last week it was forwarded to embassy. Case number is pretty pointless unless your embassy allows to start doing things like medical, DS160 etc, mine didn't..

Best of luck!

Yea thats what I thought, haven't called or sent an email update to NVC. Prolly do around 14-15 November. BTW is it okay to fill I134 and send to my Fiance Already? or it is wise to do after we get the case from NVC?

You can do it now.   You can always update any info later by scanning and emailing it.

Start putting papers together (1040, w2, paystubs, etc), take a peek at I-134. once you get the case number, fill it out and send it to your fiance.

It definitely won't. I'd call on Friday evening though. I think next week is the batch to embassies, so high chances that yours might be among the ones arriving.

I have all Tax transcripts, W2, and pay stubs ready.. doesn't I134 need to be with Wet Signature?

Thanks Paulmac. Considering there are very low K1 filers in Nepal , I won't be surprised if that happens next week.. will give it try on Friyay..

Thank you

There is a divide as to the wet signature.   Many people believe it should be.  I don't.   It is truly an embassy specific answer.   When in doubt,  err on the safe side

It isn't too difficult to send a wet signature eh? But yeah, wet is "better" in a way that you'll have a peace of mind.

How accurate is the CEAC tracker? Is it a crapshoot like the USCIS trackers, or is it relatively trustworthy? In other words, if next Wednesday passes and it still says "At NVC" does that mean I definitely didn't get into the outgoing shipment?

Pretty accurate. Mine said "ready" a couple hours later from DHL pickup. so yeah. DEFINITELY better than USCIS.

Should I start calling or update my email with NVC ? my NOA2 was 29th OCT, only 8 days since approval

It's a good time to update yours's and your fiancé email addresses.

I have the same NOA2 date and I called as well and nothing. Maybe some good news  at the end of the week. 😃

I'm 10/29 noa2 so will probably not make the upcoming embassy shipment. But no worries. Waited this long.. Gonna be worth it in the end. Good luck to everyone!
