Hi Treva! Have you got your NVC case number?

Hi Mrs. Rai!

I called this morning, and there is still no case number :(

They did tell me it was received at NVC on July 11th, and then takes anywhere up to three weeks to get scanned in and assigned a case number.

Please let me know when you get yours and I'll let you know when I get mine!!

Our Priority date was in November of 2012, and our receipt number still show's "Initial Review", We have never heard anything since the initial contact receipt. We have contacted them via phone probably 20+ times and the only thing they tell us is exactly what the uscis.gov website shows and they never give us any further information. I have emailed them multiple times across a past few months and have only gotten 1 response and that was from the NVC and all it said was they don't have any record of our paperwork yet.

I just wish I could get in contact with somebody to provide a real status update and find out exactly where our paperwork is located and what is going on.

I am in exactly the same situation as you, I've given up calling USCIS for now as they really can't tell you anything helpful.
