NVC questions....

[DougNHawaii 17]

I am a little confused, now that USCIS has approved our I-129F....(July 26th)

Between chats...research...and links...I thought I was to call NVC every day...until I get a MNL number.  I have been doing that....and when I call...they say they don't even have a file on me yet.  But I also read...that it might take a few weeks for them to receive my file, and once they get my file...it might take a few weeks to assign it a MNL number?  What is right?

Is there any point or likelihood I can  secure a MNL number anytime soon....or should I wait a few weeks?  Or does my call...cause them to assign me a number?

 

I kinda feel lost at this point...now that my file is somewhere between USCIS and NVC.  I want to be doing everything I can....to expedite being with my love.

 

Doug

 

Thanks

You need to wait a few weeks AFTER you get the NOA2 in the mail before the case file even arrives at NVC, and then yes it can take another couple weeks before the MNL # is assigned.   Things are not only slower at USCIS but NVC as well. 

 

Of course you can make up for lost time once things move to Manila.

For my timeline I received approval 7-3-2018, it arrived at NVC 2 weeks later on 7-17-2018, then case number was assigned on 7-19-2018, then it left NVC on 7-24-2018. So you should call for your case number on or around 8-13-2018. early next week you should have your case number, by next Friday I would think would be the for sure should have it date. It is all different for each case, but you should be seeing it really soon.
