hey guys, quick question :)

 

NVC  got our case March 15, is it too early to call them and ask for the case #?

i've seen some post that it'll take up to 8weeks for them to assign a case #. how true? 

thanks in advance :)

 

I got mine on the 9th and called NVC today.  They did say that they had not received it yet but said I could call back when ever I wanted - such a refreshing change from the USCIS people!

I'll say it's kinda early.
Give them 2 weeks, then call everyday if you want.
Most cases are coming in at 14-21 days. With a few maybe at 12 days. I had mine at 16 days.

Yes, it can take "up to 8 weeks" if you're on the electronic system like @Xie_xong but that rarely happens either.
Congratulations on your approval tho!!

thank you guys.. to be honest i was freaking out when i heard the word special lol....i hope so it will not be a long wait. Is there any thread for ELECTRONIC GROUP? lol

I don't think there's a thread. That's kinda an embassy specific thing.
Give them a few more days and then feel free to call everyday if you want.

It's NVC folks- they are much happier than the customer service at USCIS :jest:

They’ve changed the date from the 16th to the 21st. Frustrating

Oh... maybe good news. At least something was touched. More than a couple times we have seen good news soon after something a little odd happens like that :)

Hoping its Good news!!!

Keep in mind USCIS says RFEs can take up to 60 days
The average is about 30 days around here in VJ but recently it's been about 2 weeks.

So be patient! It's not yet time to get worried since it's only been 10 days.
It's coming. Hopefully by the end of the week :D

So of course none of us have any control on uscis processing time but here's the thing: my fiance and I agreed that I should continue my studies (I'm the beneficiary) so I applied to school in the US and got accepted yay! Classes start beginning of august 2018 and we are both thrilled that everything went fine with the school. But now we are  frustrated not only with the crazy processing times but also we are  worried that perhaps I won't be able to attend to school this year since we haven't heard anything about noa2 yet (not to say that after that there's still medical, interview, etc).

 

So,

i know we are all worried here lol and not pleased with uscis processing time lol, but the way things are going, do you guys think it's possible for all august fillers to be over with the entire process by end of may/beginning of june? I'm thinking if my fiance and I should keep our hopes of me attending school in august. Any thoughts on that?

 

Btw, we filled August 31 and received Noa1 September 5. Nothing after that.

Hi everyone! We are currently waiting for our Case No and my chosen embassy is UAE. We tried calling NVC 12 working days after our NOA2 date. The first agent at NVC said our case is at NVC already but he doesn’t have the permission to access the progress of our case. The first agent then have us transfered to another NVC agent for further info. Now, the 2nd agent told us that ours is a special case because it needs to be done electronically and further told us that some cases doesn’t need to be done electronically and would wait up until 8 weeks. Should that be a concern? TIA

Hey all! We got a RFE this week and I'm confused as how to respond. I'm going to call them but was hoping someone could give some insight.

 

It says we need more proof as to how we established our relationship and they also want forms to prove the site we met on isn't considered an international  marriage broker. We met on a random chat that connected to hundreds of different sites and doesn't even exist anymore (It was almost 6yrs ago). Any advice?

You could try using http://archive.org/web/ to demonstrate it isn't. Take a look, see if you can access the archived website.
