Hey guys, NOA2 JAN 31 and gonna share some experiences here,
I saw a lot of filers with NOA2 dates in the first half of January already got their cases sent and received by NVC within 2-3 weeks --- many of them have got case numbers now. So I have been constantly checking the status of my case since last week. I know it does take time but just trying my luck.
I have sent 2 public inquiries to NVC and contacted USCIS multiples times by ask emma on their page to talk to a live agent for an update (the connection of ask emma is super unstable though, and some agents are really rude and unhelpful even though I was being all polite to them). But until today my case has not been received by NVC and no data shows that it's sent by USCIS.
The last USCIS agent I talked to was nice enough, as she helped me submit a service request because she said it's more than 30 days since approval. She told me I would get a response within 30 business days.
It was a little bit frustrated to find that my case is getting on hold as this part of the process is actually getting a looooot faster recently but mine is not being picked in this lucky draw lol. But I know there are still many filers having the same wait like me. I hope the service request can somehow speed up the processing of my case and have them send my case promptly.
Gonna update when I know something!
Good luck to everyone
