Still no case number here either.

It sucks because I know a girl from the same date (9th) and a girl from the 16th who already got their case numbers, and mine is not even at NVC yet.

Whyyyyyy

If there's something I have learned while being in this community is that comparison really kills joy!! Every case is different, enjoy how far in the process you've got, and also how little there is left for you to get your visa! Let's stay hopeful because I completely understand how you feel, I felt the same way when all NOA2 Oct 5th get their case number, and I'm still waiting! 

 

So, a piece of advice for you and me haha let's enjoy how far we've come and wait! Stay busy and if it works stay out of the community for a little bit. It helps!

I think you hit the nail on the head. I needed to read this definitely. 

 

It is hard to stay out of the forum, but sometimes it really does help.

Got our case number today, NOA2 October 10th. Excited and nervous at the same time we are almost at the finish line. For those who are still waiting, dont rely on others timelines to make you frustrated or lose hope. This path is yours, life is not like water. Things in life dont necessarily go the way you want them, but know this, your time is coming. You have already overcome the first hurdle, be patient your time is near.

NOA 2- OCT 8

According to @Greenbaum Cases leave the NVC in batches every 2 weeks.  There was a batch on 31st October and your case wasn’t ready for that .  So the next batches will be Nov 13th approx and your case should be ready for that.

 

 DHL tracking info for the complete batch to your embassy is about 10 15 pages back but no point in trying that until then.   

 

You can also track the status of your own case on the ceac url from page 1.   When your case is in the batch with DHL it will say “in transit “.   

first met late 2016, met 13 more times since. Filed i-129 Apr 14th. NOA2 dated Oct 11th.

Be careful to assure people. Timelines vary. If you look at mine it took almost a month to get my case number. That's not saying others can't get theirs quick as evidence by the time in which you got yours...just be careful.
