Honestly at this point I could care less. After 8 months waiting for NOA2, who cares at this point!! I’m just trying to get a sense of timeline because at least there is a vague one at this stage!

Yes, as @BJ & Christine has stated. We are starting to see Tues/Wed shipments. SO 10/30 and 10/31 if things continue to hold true. Seems like Monday is the vast amount of approvals which correspond to files leaving on T/W. Remember, your mileage may vary.

Hey guys!!!!

 

So, a couple of questions: 

 

1. When should I start counting the 10 days from the approval or once I got the letter? 

2. Where can I check if I got a case number? Or do I have to call/send and email?

3. Do you have any idea if I can go ahead and get my medical examinations eventhough I still don't have my NVC case number? 

 

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH, and I'm so sorry if my questions are stupid or have been already answered multiple times. This process is very tedious and I like having information that this process doesn't really provide unless you are here reading all the info!

@PaulMac gave you some good information. I can only add that if you read those links and information that I provided to you, I think you will get your answers. And a question like #3 is Embassy specific (in this case that's a given for any medical from any country and it can't be done till you pay your interview fee and to do that you have to have a case number) so I invite you to head on over and introduce yourself in the sub-forum link I gave you. If you do all that I still can "ROCK".

Ah thank you. That makes sense! So even after the case number is assigned it’s probably 4-ish weeks until it gets to the embassy?

Wow so they are checking backgrounds AGAIN!?

There are background checks at USCIS.

 

As part of its benefits adjudication process and as required by law, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) conducts background checks on petitioners and applicants who seek certain immigration benefits. These background checks consist of four separate checks against systems within Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In order to facilitate the collection and transmission of information necessary to complete background check processes, USCIS maintains five information technology electronic systems: the Fingerprint Masthead Notification System (FMNS), the Customer Identity Capture System (CICS), the FD-258 Tracking System - Mainframe (FD-258 MF), the Benefits Biometrics Support System (BBSS), and the Interagency Border Inspection System (IBIS) Manifest. USCIS is conducting this privacy impact assessment (PIA) because FMNS, CICS, FD-258 MF, BBSS, and IBIS Manifest collect, use, and share personally identifiable information (PII). This PIA replaces the previously published USCIS PIA for the "Background Check Service (BCS)" which describes planned background check-related systems that were never implemented. Upon publication of this PIA, the BCS PIA will be retired.

 

There are checks at NVC.

 

When they receive the approved 129f from USCIS, The check to ensure that it’s been stamped. He said they occasionally receive a petition from USCIS and it does not have the appropriate approval stamp in the upper left-hand corner. They are also checking to make sure that the three criminal questions have been answered. He noted that there are times when the petitioner will forget to complete those questions and those questions are subsequently missed by the adjudicator.  In both of these instances the case will then be sent back to USCIS. He said if one of these things occur NVC would know within the first week of receiving the case.

 

And there are checks at the Embassy.

 

Embassy will take a biometric (fingerprints) from the beneficiary at the time of the interview. During post interview processing the fingerprint card is scanned and checked against a number of interagency data bases to ensure the true integrity of the individual who is migrating.

Still stressing that NVC hasn't received my case from uscis, especially since the websites never updated.

@americaninlove here is the prime example of it taking two weeks to arrive at NVC from USICS after NOA2 approval. Follow Banja and see what happens on his road.
