what was your case creation date with NVC?

Not exactly sure what my case creation date was. They finally replied to my inquiry and gave me my case # last Friday, September 8th.

Thanks. This helps. 

in case you are curious, the case number from NVC starts with 3 letters (code for your consulate) and the rest are numbers to specify when the case number was created. The first 4 numbers for year, the next three (see note below about Julian date) are date and last three for the “nth case created on that date”. 
 

For the 3 numbers for date of creation, subtract 500 out of it and look up the remaining value in a Julian calendar for 2023 (google is your friend). So if these 3 numbers are 744, then your case creation date is Sept 1st.

Just checked. Went from In Transit to Ready in 2 days.

Yes. Keep bugging them until they give you the status you need.

I got my case number a week ago and it says "At NVC". What does that mean? Are they processing the case?

On the same boat. I got a response from the public inquiry today finally giving the case#

 

NOA2: July 1st, 2023

NVC Case Created: Aug 25th, 2023 (Got it from the case number using the Julian calendar trick)

 

Still haven't received any letter in the mail and the status reads "At NVC". Kinda frustrated but it is what it is I guess.

The petitioner will get an email called K1-FTP when the case goes in transit (when NVC ships the case to the embassy). Some countries receive a mailed letter (Netherlands and Italy are two that I know of), but it's an addition to the email, received weeks after it's been shipped.

It means they have not sent your case to the embassy yet. It will change to “In Transit” when they do.

I see, in my case, my fiance lives in Sydney, Australia. I guess at this point just have to wait to hear from the consulate.

Everytime I review my ds160 after the site goes into timeout, the state of residence and post code of my fiancé in the us is not saved even though I click save. Did anyone have this happen aswell?

Mine did the same, everything showed after I submitted the form.

Hi all, nice to see everyone here. We got NOA2 on 7/5/2023, then total radio silence from NVC. we did two inquiries (8/10 and 8/25) and found that our case was made on 8/25 at NVC (used the Julian calendar method from these forums to decipher the case number).
 

Despite that, it STILL has not been shipped and appears to have missed this week’s shipment as well. We have not gotten a welcome letter although it appears from the forums that these only arrive once it is In Transit now. 

 

Our NOA2 also has an expiration of Nov 4, which makes me nervous with how long they are taking. 
 

anyway, hopefully others are having more luck and that we all make it through soon. I did not think that 2+ months later I would still be waiting for the smallest logistical hurdle to be overcome by this agency.
