Yep same here. But based on the comment above its looking like 60 days and still no case numbers. Has ANYONE in this group reported case numbers yet?? I really want to know what kind of time frame to expect… 

I'm at day 82 since the NOA2 from USCIS with no case number yet from NVC. We emailed NVC, they said they have not yet received our case. We contacted USCIS, they will not look into it until the 90 day mark. Also contacted our local congressman to help us inquire.

NOA2 of 10/04/22 (56 days) and still no case number.  Received this after 9 days (from NVCResearch@state.gov):

The National Visa Center (NVC) recently received your immigrant visa petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Your petition is now waiting for data entry into our systems.

What?? So youve been waiting for your NVC number for over two months now? How does that even make sense… I thought this part was supposed to move much quicker.. 😕😕😕

Same here. 73 days since our USCIS approval and still nothing from NVC.

No, that's the slow one. the fast one is this:

NVCResearch@state.gov

 

by the way, just after posting that, I received a response from them. It took 11 days this time, but I imagine that is because of the holidays.

 

"The National Visa Center (NVC) recently received your immigrant visa petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Your petition is now waiting for data entry into our systems."

 

Still same as last time. They have received it, but not yet assigned us a number. 62 days and counting from NOA2

Thank you! Very helpful!

How do they determine when a case is outside the processing time? all of us it would have been over a year since we filed in July of the prior year.

130% of cycle time  ( https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/more-info ) thus 15.5 * 1.3 = 20.15 * 30.42 = 1 year 8 months 2 days.

We are now at day 79 since USCIS approved our I-129F.

I've been back and forth with NVC via web inquiry (https://nvc.state.gov/inquiry) and email (nvcinquiry@state.gov & nvcresearch@state.gov). This is their reply for the 3rd time:

"Although K1 petitions have a 120-day expiration date, a consular officer will revalidate this petition. You do not need to take any action. However, you may need to provide evidence that you still qualify for the K1 visa class.

For the most up-to-date information about the U.S. Embassy or Consulate's operating status, please visit their website at https://usembassy.gov.

To learn more about K1 visa processing, please visit: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html.

The National Visa Center (NVC) recently received your immigrant visa petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Your petition is now waiting for data entry into our systems.

Since your case is not in our systems yet, we cannot make updates.

As soon as your case is in our systems, we will send a Welcome Letter and instructions. Then, if you still need help updating your case, you can contact us by using one of the methods listed on https://nvc.state.gov/ask.

For current processing times, please visit our website: https://nvc.state.gov/timeframes for English or https://nvc.state.gov/plazos for Spanish. If your petition was approved before the dates NVC is working on, please resubmit your inquiry."

I also reached out to my local senators office for assistance, and they call me this afternoon and were given the same information. They said they will keep checking and give me a call in 2 weeks if they have not heard anything.
