They have stated to me the two times that I called that the time to the number being assigned is 42 days from the date that they received the case.

They will know the day they received it. Then add 42.

Anyone receive a case number for cases received at NVC for November 25th as yet? I spoke with NVC and they are still saying 42 days. they are closed on Thursday and Friday. This is so annoying.

We got there November 18. As you see in my signature, it took one day less than a month to get a case number. It seems to be taking 28-32 days based on other people's cases. I would guess 32-36 days with the holidays on at the moment.

It sucks that nothing moves on holidays, but as someone who spends so much time away from my wife, I understand the desire of the workers to spend the holidays with their family.

Hope the case #'s are assigned for you all quickly!! I'm a bit behind with NVC receiving Dec 12th. Still calling every few days with a small amount of hope

Good luck!

[Jeff & Fu Li 1]

yes, now the magic number is '42'. I will wait 30 days and then call every two days.

I am guessing that 42 is the

best guesstimate. So, from 30-42 I will be vigilante as there is much work to be done.

[Jeff & Fu Li 1]

excuse the 'e' on vigilant.

How long did it take between USCIS approval and NVC receipt?

If I'm tracking correctly:

Add 42 days for case # to be assigned.

Add another x days before ds-261 and AOS fee available

Add another x days for IV fee available

Add another 60 days after scan of AOS and IV documents and all fees paid assuming no Checklist.

This feels like NVC will be another 4-5 months before case complete and scheduling of interview.

Is this correct?

Yes!

I'm grateful to have USCIS behind me, but I was so hoping NVC would be quicker. Ha - joke's on me. Guess I'll keep up the wishful thinking and keep my rose-tinted glasses on. :-)

I am very grateful for the people who worked Christmas Eve and gave me the NOA2! Didn't do much to curb my impatience though.

We can do this!

Good Morning,

I called NVC this morning at 7.05am. Was on hold for 40 minutes but they had my case number. They told me that i will not be able to sign on because they were working on my case today, so try a little later this afternoon. I thought that i would be elated, but somehow, i feel numb. the waiting has been so long and now the next steps of submitting and paying documents and fees leads down another 60 or more days of waiting. My case arrived at NVC on November 25th. So that is the date they are working on today. Also my case was the first case today.

the bright side is that the process is moving, so thank God for small mercies.Now waiting to choose an agent and pay fees.
