Wow, congrats for the approval. You break the record on VJ.

Wow, masha'Allah. Congratulations! You can contact the NVC in a week or two to find our your case number. Also, you'll have to submit your documents to the embassy, not the NVC. In order to prepare beforehand, look up the instructions specific to your embassy.

I put extra $$$ on my packet to get approved as soon as they see it.

Seriously, don't be a hater. I did what I did maybe I put extra paper works that I think is crucial and they will ask for it anyways so I put every supporting document I think they will ever need for my petition. But I think above all I get lucky and I put a lot of prayers too.

Well... I guess I am joining in! I got my NOA2 on Nov 20th...

I'll start calling on the 4 weeks mark, I think...

what would be the minimum and maximum waiting time frame for NVC case number ?? Because i got approve on Nov 14 from CSC.

Well it would seem so that the minimum time ti wait after your NOA2 is around 2-4 weeks.

The maximum... in theory is 8. What I don't know is how the USCIS fast processing will affect the NVC. Since this has not happen before (that I know of), there is really no way to know how long it will take.

Note that the processing might not be affected at all, this is all just speculation.

VJers recommend to start calling/e-mailing the NVC on the one month mark from your NOA2, so I will probably do that...

All you have to do now is wait for the case number from NVC. USCIS will send another update that they have send the approved petition to NVC. Once you have the MNL number, pay for the $240 (Philippine peso equivalent) fee at a BPI bank in the Philippines. Within 4 hours of payment you or your fiancee can schedule online for the interview. She can also start her medical at St Lukes once she have a confirmed interview date and fillout the DS160 form. For more info follow the guide here : http://visaconnection-philippines.com/# Good luck.

what is the normal time frame when people getting NVC case number right now ? is it 2 weeks for more than a month.

Congrats Sidney!! Looks like November has been a good month for us. I was approved in 21 days!! Unfortunately, the air has been taking out of the sails as its been 3 weeks and no sign of NVC having received my approved petition. So much for an early Christmas present

So, will I get a notice from USCIS stating they have sent my approved petition to NVC? Every time I call, the NVC seems to be bothered that I'm checking up on the status. Did USCIS use the pony express to deliver my approved petition or what? My guess is, its sitting in a que at either USCIS or the NVC.

In the meantime, perhaps my fiancé can move forward with completing applications etc for Package 3 to hopefully speed up Package 4. Is this possible?

Got my NOA2 letter on Nov 5th from the TSC and I'm phoning the NVC now, still not entered the system but it's been 3 weeks so I'm hoping next week I will hear

Does anybody here know if Packet 3 is what my fiancee need to bring during the interview? or we send it to NVC at some point?

BTW, I called NVC today to ask if they have receive my case, we were approved nov 18, it wasnt there yet. I was told it will take max of 8 weeks. I will check again next week.

And its crazy bcoz we almost completed all the Packet3 requirements, just waiting for the mail of my fiancee of his AOS.... And still waiting for case number...we also start calling NVC in few weeks..

Good luck to us

! I won't star calling until a month go by, since that's what I've see it has been taking. I haven't even started on Packet 3. xD! I was checking out I-134 form and I notice it expires the last day of this year, and since our interview will mostlikely be next year... I was a bit reluctant to fill it.

Anyway I hope it happens fast!
