We received our NOA2, it says that NVC is going to process our case. According to NOA2 it would take 2-4 weeks.

Should we call NVC to track our request? Or should we wait for their notification + case #?

Thanks for clarifying,

⚘

You'll get your case number faster if you call. If you wait for the letter, it could take awhile. Plus, some folks here report never receiving a letter. So I think it's best to call. Just be prepared to wait at least 14 days from NOA2 before calling. I recommend calling no more than twice weekly although some people call daily or even multiple times a day.

Sure. Use the CEAC immigrant visa status check. You can also contact the embassy after 1 week has passed to see if they've received it yet.

Hi thanks for the response! I have been checking and still in transit. I'll call tomorrow if ever it is still in transit. I can't schedule an interview until its "ready" right?

Thanks a lot! :)
