Waiting on case number

[apnzz 229]

Hi all, just wondering about recent experiences with how long it takes to get case number from NVC?

 

NVC confirmed they have received my case and its awaiting data entry, how long would it take as a general guess/estimate to get my case number? 

 

Thanks

Our case was sent to the NVC on June 17th, I did an inquiry on July 7th and got my case number July 9th!

That's the inquiry link 🙂

I got that same response on my first inquiry to them and submitted another inquiry about a week later and they gave me my case number.

Thank you! Will do an inquiry next week and see if they have the number

We just got our case number today from an inquiry I sent last week. Sent to State on October 2. You should be getting yours soon too, hopefully!

Received NOA2 on August 13th and its October 21st and our application is still not sent to the NVC unfortunately.  After a PI they pointed fingers at each other and no progress after two additional weeks. 

 

The government acts as if they fixed the backlog problem by focusing all the attention on the California Center, meanwhile the NVC in New Hampshire now has a backlog of 385,000 applications and can only schedule ~55,000 interviews a month.  

 

The merely moved the problem to another facility and now charge us more money for the Vaseline they use on us.  Good ol America for you.

I'm sorry that's happening to you, perhaps make a post of your own to see if others are in the same situation as you, as I am not sure anything here will be able to help you since my post is specifically about how long it takes for NVC to provide a case number after they've already received the case.

 

The only advice I can give is to contact a congressman and see if they will assist you.

Happy to be here and do what we can.... I wish we had found VJ so much earlier in our K-1 journey but the support and education we have received since joining has been amazing so we just want to "pay it forward" wherever we can 🙂 We are all part of a big "Immigration Family" we believe and if we can do anything to help down the line, please don't hesitate to reach out. We get married in 3 days and 3 weeks after that we will be filing our AOS packet so there's lots more "fun" to be had 😆

Me too! I wish I found this forum earlier on, luckily we found it still waiting for noa2, and I'm so thankful we did because it's definitely going to make the aos etc less stressful! I hope you guys have a magical wedding !!!

Thank you so much.... You know the deal with K-1, since you can't really plan anything because you don't know when things will happen, we are just doing a ceremony in front of a judge here in Colorado with some close friends to be there as our witnesses. We're trying to make it as special as we can and then we will plan something a little more formal for next year or the year after.
