6033340700   7am to 12am EST.  I called like 20 times today, never got through.   So Good luck ... 

I think I emailed and we can also email the embassy to ask for case NVC number.

it used to happened to me. let me tell you a trick.

call and once you hear the voice, end it. call right back. do this 10x constantly and it will take you there.

@Hemutian Thank you so much for this!! I really appreciate it!! 

 

One more question... I’m the beneficiary, so can I call to request the information or does it have to be my fiancé??

it really dont matter as long as you have all the info in hand. her birthday and your's, ya'll names, receipt number and ect...

by the way im waiting for my case number as well, is has been over 4 Weeks, i call daily and at least i know they're working on it.

Finally a human picked up.. very sweet lady's voice.  8/28 NOA2, 9/17 still not received at NVC.   20 days already.   Try again another time.

They won't respond with the case file # until the case file has shipped (or packaged to ship at least)

So... I actually managed to get through to the NVC on the first ever call I’ve made, today. Was on hold for almost 30mins. Nice lady. She informed me it could take up to 6 weeks to reach them. So I will try every other day or so. 

I called them 15mins after they opened, I’m guessing this is one of the best times to get through to someone. 

 

I will call the USCIS as well, and hopefully they will be able to tell me some sort of time frame as to when our petition will be sent out

🤞🏾

be consistent, first time i called the lady that picked up  didn't give me much info basically told me to read the NOA2 and i felt stupid haha, second lady was nicer and she did open up a little and told me exactly the date my package arrived.

from there i got another rude lady and didn't get much info (case # doesnt exist, try again ). yesterday a really lovely lady picked up and told me that it should be done soon that they're working on it.. to try calling back, she also told me that theres no need to call because i requested all info to be mail to my email and text messages and it will notified me once case # is created. by the way it has been 34 days since i received my NOA2.

??? So I was given a case # does it mean that they have shipped my package to my fiancé consulate country ??

[Hank_ 9,174]

Check CEAC status, if it hasn't shipped it will be very soon.     https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=o/iS8zDpeAKjMWCuebHqOw==

So my case has been received!! Whoop whoop!!

 

For those who are struggling to get through to the NVC via phone, my trick has been calling them as soon as they open. I’ve called 3 times all around same time (the 2nd time I got through but my phone service cut out so got disconnected). 

 

So those who are experienced, what’s the next steps?? I know I have to collect all my supporting evidence and the I-134. And wait on the Interview date to then schedule my medical and get my police check.. but is there anything else I could do in the meantime??

 

Thanks in Advance

check the guides above for the lists of needed documents

you can get your IRS transcripts ready

apply online or walk into an IRS office with photo ID and SS card and ask for them

when you do get these ,  write the case # and both names and both DOB's in the upper right hand corner so they always remain with your packet (thru out the interview and AP)

Can take longer too. It took USCIS 8 weeks to mail the approval to NVC and then I received my case number a week later

Once that you received the case number in the NVC letter, did you fill out the form ds160? Or did you wait until the consulate recibe the case?

I'm currently in the same boat as the rest of you. 

Received my NOA2 on August 16th, I still have not received any correspondence from NVC. 

I emailed them twice already. I read in another post that they can take up to TWO years to respond. 

They seem to be having issues at the office, maybe shortage of workers? Because they changed their operating hours. And randomly they closed for an hour in the middle of the day today.

 

It's really unorganized. I finally got through the queue last week just to have the woman tell me they had received my case that same day and that they normally process K1 visas quickly. 

 

I expected this to be the easy part after getting approved from USCIS. But NVC seems to be incompetently handling their workload.

I want to know how you seem to have gotten through to them atleast five or six times already. What's your secret ?
