What is the best time to call NVC?  I need to start calling to see if they have my approved petition package from USCIS.  When I call the 1-603-334-0700 number, I get a recording....it doesn't allow me to wait for a person.

Best time will be 800am eastern time or 5am pst. Tried it today and waited for 45 min. Before you calling them they need fiancee name and dob also receipt number. Good luck 👍

Sorry for the delay....went out of town on a business trip. I called NVC on 1/29/2020....and was on hold for over an hour....but finally i got a live person on the phone right before 11:00 their time. They told me they received my package from USCIS on that day (1/29/2020.)...so i am just now waiting for them to assign a case number....probably in 2 more weeks from now.
