NVC CR1 phone "try again later"

Received NOA2 approval 4 weeks ago. Trying to get a case # for the CR1:

I have beening calling the NVC CR1 support line (603-334-0700) daily for

the past 10 days. It ALWAYS goes to the automated "... due to large number of calls

... try again later ..." recording. I phoned hourly during their hours, not getting through.

(when I tried the nonimmigrant line (603-334-0888), it gave a menu and warns that

they will no be able to help with immigrant visa info)

Is this normal?

Usually it takes between 10-45 redials before I get through to be put on hold for another 35-65 minutes before speaking to someone for less than two minutes. However, I called about 30 seconds before they opened today and got right through clear to a person without being put on hold on the first try.

Redial is your friend. Just redial until you get on hold. Try when they first open.

Thanks to all the advice.

After 5 hours, I finally made to a human. Unfortunately, still no case #.

Can you fill out your Timelime? It helps others know where you are in the process when trying to respond to your queries.

What is your petition approval\noa2 date?

Calling NVC takes a lot of tries and redials. I finally get through after more than 50 redials, to be told my case # hasn't been assigned yet. I'm getting close to a month since noa2.

Thanks for the advice.

The trick is to keep calling until you hear the ring .......... You are IN.....

You still hear the recording but at the end of it you start getting getting options and then they verification your SCR number is in the system and then they place you in the holding que for 20 minutes..... But that is progress... :joy:
