NVC taking 42 days to assign case number

[jcparker 6]

Just thought I would give everyone an update. Just got off the phone with NVC to see if I had a case number assigned yet after my approval notice and they are saying it takes 42 days after NVC receives your USCIS information (I-130) to assign a case number.

Frustrating...

It can take them that long, but usually they will assign it much sooner. Just keep harassing them every few days.

Great thanks so much I will keep trying!

Hi there,

I just got off the phone with NVC and was told that my case # would also not be assigned for 42 days. It was received on Dec 23rd. I see you had a similar question and your case was assigned sooner - did you keep on calling them as suggested?

Someone that was received Dec 1st got their case # today so they are running quite long at the moment! I am waiting for mine as well and hoping they speed up. It's up to you how often you want to call but once it gets closer to 28-30 days (average waiting time) I'd call more often.

Good luck and congrats on getting through USCIS!

I get bored so I figured I'd update. They received the package on 23rd, still no case #. Still quoting the 42 calendar days, and still REALLY hard to get a hold of a person there. I have spent hours this week.

And I know that it might still be more time but now that I CAN do something, by gosh I will DO it!

I have already started gathering all documents for the iv package. Atleast that would get me pre-occupied.

Goodluck to us. I am hoping I get to see y husband first half of the year.

Still nothing for me - they keep on saying 42 days, and he said that it might be sooner, but they are giving themselves that much time as it's busy. I must say that they have always been very nice and polite, even though I am not hearing the answer I want;)
