calling the NVC??

[Mabenita 5]

it came last night, so it took almost a month after my NoA2 was approved!

Thank you. I hope mine will be here soon.

Thank you. I hope mine will be here soon.

finger crossed for you! idk what's their lately because I always read they never send mail about it, but then it came to us.. and NVC call center was always busy, maybe for that reason..

[Mabenita 5]

Thanku.. I appreciate it. I will try to call them later. Urghh.

A little late seeing this topic but I'm wondering if it is required to call NVC at all?

If I don't call them, I will still receive packet 3 eventually (when it is ready) and it will contain my Montreal case number, correct? Is there any specific benefit to finding out when they received and sent the petition to the consulate?

Thanks!

me and my fiancé we tried many times to call but we never reached the line.. so I thought "alright, I will just wait to receive the packet 3 and that's it. "

but some days later my fiancé got a mail from

the NVC where there was our case number! so once we found it I tracked our case on the CEAC website, and once U see it's written "ready" it means ur embassy has received it...

the benefit of knowing in advance he case number is that U can check it out where it is, if it's already leaving the NVC, or just arrived at the embassy. Usually after some

days it's showing up

on the website that it's "ready" the embassy will contact U... if that doesn't happen, U can call

them, and with U case number U can ask further informations about it!

I know the feeling of trying to get a hold of NVC.

No you don't have to call at all. People do because they are anxious just to see that the process is in motion and to get their case number. Mostly its people just stressing themselves out calling everyday like an addiction.

Thank you for the feedback everyone! Our NOA2 date was March 18th so I was planning to call tomorrow as it will have been two weeks. However I think since its not necessary I will save myself the time and stress and just wait to hear from the consulate. Thanks again!

I did yes! Did I get any useful information? Do we ever? Nope same thing we always here. time time time.

People call the NVC to proceed with other steps (like me) bec if we wait for the snail mail, it wud be a waste of time. I called the NVC for my case number until now i dont have the hard copy yet. However, im done with the next steps. We even have the interview schedule. So its up to you if you want to wait or not. Goodluck to us all.

Wow.. interview assigned a month after NOA2!!

Are K-1s usually that fast? Or PI cases are being fast-tracked?

[myztic 1]

I see other K-1s members timeline going through NVC stage really fast. I'm not sure why I-30 takes longer to process..
