You won't get a case number until your file reaches the NVC. The number that you get from USCIS is your receipt number.

Yes, although keep in mind that it will just say "initial review" until there is a decision.

That is if it updates.

Plenty of people have gotten their NOA2's without the online tracker ever moving a flinch.

Hello guys I also filed in August waiting on Noa in the mail but already got confirmation email wonder how long the initial review takes

Hi :) I got my NOA1 by email on Aug.12 and i'm still waiting for the hardcopy... but it's not really important as your priority date is when you got your NOA1 by text/email.. meaning that it's the day they actually started working on your case (well there are a few people ahead of you but you will get there lol .. at least you are in their system). From now on, you have to wait 3-5 months. If you go on your VisaJourney timeline and fill it out, you can have an estimate of when your I-130 could be approved. Good luck!
