Thank you @Greenbaum

and a quick question :) How to notify NVC about US address change? I'm moving today and I know how to change address for USCIS (https://www.uscis.gov/addresschange), but does it work for NVC too?

You don't need to update NVC. When you go and complete the DS-160, Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application use your new address.

Thank you. Do I need to update address for USCIS?

Yes, as it is a requirement to advise USCIS of any address changes within 10 days of the move in-date, but this is for USC's only. Beneficiary will update the DS-160, Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application and at the interview for document sending requirements.

A gal who is also Canadian called at 3 weeks and NVC had already received her application. 

Thought I would test my luck as well

That's new information to me. In the past it has always taken 30+ days for NVC to receive USCIS approved applications/case files. I would like to know whether you had a luck next week when you make that call. Thanks for highlighting this as I thought you were shouting and hoping to hit something.

I did sign up for email from NVC, 3 days after my application was approved online 19th Oct.

I got the following response today, they say “Our records do not show that we received your petition.”

When I checked NVC processing timeframe it says “Current case creation time frame: As of 26-OCT-2020, we are working on cases that were received from USCIS on 19-OCT-2020.”

 

According to this looks like I should just wait for an update from NVC as they are still creating application cases for 19th. 
 

Any other thoughts or advise at this stage !?

I had emailed them to update our email addresses as well and got the same response. It essentially means NVC hasn't received your case from USCIS.

I also tried calling them on Monday, and they said: we haven't received your case 'maam' lol. 

My NOA2 was October 5. Will try calling in 2 weeks. Though they state that it will take at least 6 weeks now.
