Yeah! Everytime I call I get the standard message like we r 2 busy 2 talk 2 u haha! I call at different times of the day and its still the same thing! And then the call automatically hangs up! I use the 603-334-0700 number! Should I call the other line? 603-334-0888?

 

I used the 0700 number. There's also a trick to getting through into the queue. Call, if you hear a ringtone stay on the line. If you don't hear a ringtone hang up and try again. Might take 5 minutes to get into the queue and then once your in the queue you'll probably wait about an hour.

I called 603-334-0888.

Here's what I followed which was helpful in getting my case number:

Step 1:  Obtaining Your Case Number

The average number of days it takes for a file to arrive at NVC after NOA2 used to be around 3 to 5 business days however currently it is taking around 50-60 days.   Click the following link to check update to date NOA2 to NVC timings and other users who are waiting, enter your data there aswell. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k57PdywNRpUqytomJxMzz6_7DsMqpi52DgnaYt9FyC8/edit?usp=sharing 

Begin calling after 2 weeks. 

The best time to get through is after 6pm (EST) on weeknights.  They remain staffed until 10pm (EST).  The number is (603)-334-0700.

If the first thing you hear is a voice, it will be a recording with a message that says there's a large call volume and then (eventually) hangs up.  Continue to hang up and call again until the first thing you hear is a ring.

 

After this, you'll need to press two buttons:

1 for English or 2 for Spanish... and then 7 to ask a question.

 

Special Note:  When you first get into the loop, you can hit 1 (wait 1 second) and then 7 or 5 or - 2 no need to listen to the spiel in between numbers unless you have a burning desire to.

You could be on hold anywhere from a minute to an hour.  Hopefully the hour would be absolute worst case scenario- just don't plan to do this when you only have 5 minutes of time to spare!

When a CSR is ready to speak, you will hear their phone ring.  They will ask you for your case number. The number to give them is the USCIS number that you have been monitoring for the past few months, it should begin with WAC2017...

When you tell them your number they will put it into their system query.  Likely, on your first call, they will say that your file is not there yet, and then tell you that it can take many weeks to arrive.  If your file isn't there, thank them and tell them cheerfully that you will call again tomorrow.  

The mail only runs once per day, so multiple calls in a single day will only irritate them.  Call after 6pm.  If your file has arrived at NVC that day, it will be there.  If not, then call the next day after 6pm.

When you give them your case file and they ask you for additional information, it means that your file has arrived!!!  You must then tell them the petitioner's full name (that's yours) and birthdate, and the beneficiary's full name and birthdate.  This is their security check, so know this information before you call.

They will then tell you your Case File Number if it has been assigned. Sometimes it takes several days to have a case file assigned- sometimes it is assigned the same day. 

Your case number will have a 3-letter Prefix relative to your Beneficiary's Embassy City, followed by 2017, and then two 3-digit numbers.

(Fun fact:  The last three numbers are what order the cases were assigned that day.   For example, if your last three digits are 029, you were the 29th case assigned that day.)

This number will stay with your file for the rest of this journey.  Write it down!

Yeah i would suggest trying both  numbers. I would call everyday... and i found that at 730 EST (im in montreal, canada) I would get straight through most times to a person. I had more luck with the 0888 number. Good luck and keep calling. Its most certainly worth the wait to get your case number

CEAC does not mail anything out you. Your waiting on the email from NVC with your case number.

 

Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks

Is there a thread for the people who received their NOA1s in September?
