Call in 1-2 weeks to see if they received your petition. From the date they received it, you can start counting how long until you receive a case number (7-8 weeks from received date)

Hi franc please fill out your timeline to help us all out with better data on the service center and process. 

 

It's going to take anywhere from 2-8 weeks for your case number but you can always call once a week until you get it to get a jump start on the process. Snail mail is slow.

30 days sounds about right.  In late 2016, it took our case a month to go from NAO2 to having a case number.......I don't think the process has improved much, if at all, since then........

Start calling about 6 weeks after the USCIS update says "sent to department of state"

 It was worse in my case exact 8 weeks and  I gave them 6 weeks before my first phone call.

All you can do is wait.  Calling is a pain at NVC and doesn't do anything but frustrate you and take up a lot of time trying to get through, waiting on hold forever.  We received our NVC case number by email 7 weeks after NOA2 date.  Just forget about it for a few weeks and use the time to prepare all your documents for uploading.
