How long after NVC receives petition until case number is issued?

Hi,

I was just told by NVC that they received and scanned my petition, but they don't have a case number yet.

Anyone know how long it takes before they do?

We've already been waiting a month from NOA2, so will it be much longer before a case number is assigned?

Also, how long after the case number is issued does it usually take to get to the embassy? In our case it's in Kiev, Ukraine.

Thanks!

You will have to wait a whole 2 business days.

I recently talked with one of the users on here who received her case number- she said after hearing her case was received, they told her it could be a few weeks before she was assigned a number. She called the next day and they had it :lol: Might be a lucky instance though. Jim is on top of his K-1 visa stuff so 2 days is probably the norm.

As for the embassy receiving after case #, really depends on how quick NVC sends the petition out. You can call to see if it's been dispatched. They use DHL which is pretty quick- I would guess 3-6 days are the average for the embassy to receive. It could take longer during the holiday season but I've gotten most packages within 4 days through DHL services, so based on this I think transit time should be quite fast!

Hope that helps a bit :D
