Oh thank you so much for your info. Please keep us updated about your case number since you’re ahead of me. 

Definitely, I found out that they received my case on the 18th of September.  So it appears to me that once you receive the email stating that your package was sent to Department of State that it should take a week before they receive it.  I am hoping that they assign case numbers the following week, but you know how these things go!!

When i called they are 4 weeks behind and same information in the travel.state.gov website. If they received your case on September 18 looks like you have another 4 weeks of waiting. Mine was received September 10th which will be 3 more weeks for me 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Actually if you look at this way its not too bad hahaha. All the approved petition from all the different service center from USCIS gets funneled into one. I waited 5-6months from USCIS so 6 weeks to here from NVC isn’t too bad i hope 🤞🏻.
