Greenbaum,

 

If we found out of our NOA2 over the phone and the websites dont reflect anything yet, do we wait before updating NVC until we receive a hard copy?

Received the hard copy of our NOA2 today ☺️☺️☺️

Thanks so much for the great help all the time! You are the best! One more question cuz now I'm in doubt, I know we have to pay for the K-1 visa but do we have to do it while doing the DS-160 or at in the interview? and how much is it, is this the last payments? !! Sorry for the small questions. Thanks!!!!!

From my experience NVC can only update what they have, AND it takes them awhile to process things. You can request update now, you won't get any response until probably about a week later, at which point you might be told they have no case (because it takes 2-3 weeks for them to get case from NVC) so they haven't "updated" anything. Once again, from my experience, I NEVER got update from NVC until case got sent to Embassy, at which point they did  send e-mail update same day, but few hours later after it changed to to "In transit"

Oh okay. So on the first bullet point at the beginning of the thread we start it in two weeks?

You can update once NVC has received your case from USCIS.

It's been 14 days since we got approved (Jan 14th) and we've called 3 times, no case number.. Little annoying

I have it, it's the package 3 from Guyana but it doesn't say when I should pay the amount, and I also want to recheck how much we have to pay. Thanks so much for your help and sorry for disturbing you!

I'm in the same boat.  I know it's hard being patient but I hope NVC receives it by the end of this week.

That's the funny part, they told my fiance today that received it they just haven't  fed the system so we don't have a case #, it just sounds stupid, if you got put a damn # on it

[kittyanne 45]

my fiance called nvc today. our noa2 is january 12. and nvc said they dont have yet the case number so we have to wait until febuary 24. or 6 weeks after the date of noa2. if we didint received the nvc case number between febuary 24 we have to call them again.. nvc said we must wait until febuary 24 to call them again. 

 

should we just wait until feb 24? (if we didnt received the case number before feb 24) or we should call nvc again?

I'm curious that since all of our petitions are approved at one location and the approved petitions all go to the NVC, why do some petitions arrive before others?  Maybe @Greenbaum can shed some light on this.

i received an email from NVC today with regards to the 2 "askNVC" email i sent last week.

and they said, they have not received our case and it will take 6 weeks.

they said if more than 6 weeks since noa2 , they requested to send a scanned copy of the noa2 and send to them.

 

2 weeks tomorrow

noa2 - Jan 16
