So I just called the NVC and they said I have to wait up to 90 days until they receive any cases. how can this be it's ridiculous I am so sos so mad AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG anyone else had this problem and did it really take that long

They are just quoting you a standard to cover their butts. Call them a week or two after your petition approval date, use the menu to talk to a real person and simply ask them if your case is logged into the system. The day it is, they'll stop telling you it might take 90 days. When you ask "how long" questions you are not likely to get an answer you like. They don't know. There are too many variables.

It is their standard reply. Even if you read the USCIS approval notice, it also says to allow 90 days. But in reality, it takes only 2-3 weeks for NVC to receive the case from USCIS. Keep calling NVC every day and at the same time, email NVC. They may have your case by now, but it is not in their system, since they are entering all the info into their computer.

Mine got there yesterday and gave me a case #. Keep calling until they tell you they received it.

I just called tonight and I got the 90 days speech. It's just no way they receive that many cases that it takes 3 months to log them into the system at least.

we are may 1st - nothing as at may 16th - I got the 90 day answer too......

pity they don't have an email system like USCIS

i will try again tonight - 5pm their time

does anyone know whether these things appear after an overnight batch or are they loaded on real time through the day - that might save me a call or two...

Try emailing them and ask them the question why yours hasn't been recieved when other approved after you have. I sent them this email and they replied today saying they have received the case and are in the process of assigning case #

GOOD LUCK

Wow and look at your dates ! What have I got to moan about... Interesting though that they will admit they have it before assigning a number.. I thought they would just respond to email like the operator or the auto service

v interesting - I will give it a shot

I know they are in the process of requiring UK Citizens of Pakistani background to get visas for visits rather than visa waiver... Perhaps all the UK applicants are getting double checked right now in advance of tightening ... other folk seem to be cruising through in a few days....

many thanks
