So I called NVC today to see if they've got my case now...

I got to talk to a man.. He first said: "you have to wait 30 days from USCIS send it to us.."

Then 10 sec later he said: "you have to wait 35 days until you should call"

Then finally he ended the call by saying: "so wait 42 days until calling us"

??? omg!

It's like the longer you stay on the phone with them, the more days they add on ?

Crazy!

So the case was send from TSC on Monday June 22, we had our NOA2 on June 11, when should I expect them to assign my new case number?

Should I even be listening to what they are saying about the wait time ??

I waited a week from when TSC sent before calling. When they answered I just asked for my case number. They confirmed they received my case that day, but it was not in system yet, and to wait 35 days for it to be entered.

I called back the next week after 2 work days. I called again and asked for my case number- this time the lady provided it to me.

Took 5 working days to get from TSC to NVC, and then 2 business days for them to assign a case number. I know every case may be different, but just wanted to give you some information.

Thank you so much !

I will call them again next week ?

I'm sure that it's not true that it will take 35 days.. That seems pretty crazy..

It seems to take a little while now...maybe with the technical issues DOS has, these things take a while.

My NOA-2 was June 5th, sent to NVC June 16th and as of yesterday (so 9 days) it wasn't there. I will try again today.

You can use my timeline in my signature as a rough estimate as to when they might be able to provide info about your case. No you don't have to wait 30 days, 35, or 42. You just have to wait as long as they take to process it which could be a few days or a week or so. Don't count weekends either.

Unless of course they are currently having issues.

That's what they told me when I called (on a Tuesday), they said it was just sent on Monday call back next week... I called the next day(Wednesday), they gave me my LND and told me it was on the way to the embassy.

The day after that (Thursday) the CEAC site updated to Ready status.

Sooooo...... my thoughts to you would be, try to call again Monday. You may get some happy news.

Hi fellow October filers, Katariina finally got her k-1 visa in hand.

It was such a long and frustrating wait, especially since state department glitches screwed it up, delayed everything.

8 months and 19 days or 262 days we filed October 09th 2015

Don't ever let the waiting come between you and your loved one, remind them you love them everyday. Send them love letters (not emails) guys send flowers, and remember it will all be worth it that magic day you are together!

Hope you all move much faster than us!
