Requested NVC our case and invoice number. 

 

NOA2: Feb 23rd.

 

Im probably asking a bif early but their response online will take about 1 week. 

Let us know how it goes, my NOA2 is a day before yours. Did you just email them instead of calling?

I emailed them.

Looking at other Visajourners arond here, NVC takes 1 solid month to build the case. I'm at 2 weeks, so by the time they answer it'll be week 3. If it's not ready, I know, statistically speaking, it'll be ready the next week or afterward.

 

No need to call. However, if you prefer human interaction, it's highly advised by attorneys to call late at night. NVC is open until midnight. So calling around 10pm is good.

 

Also, side note: I never visited Russia but it's on my wish list to visit your exclave, Kaliningrado & Yuzhno-Saklhalinsk (the island). Everyone wants to visit Japan, but everyone dimisses the Russian (half-japanese) island further north. Plus, it's cheaper.   Just something cool to share. Take care

I was never in Russia, but I spent some serious time with NATO around your borders...doing "training".

Thank you so much! I think I'll email them too since I'm going out of the country to meet my fiance and don't want to pay for long distance calling 😛

 

I will keep that in mind! My fiance is the one that's Russian. I wanted to visit more cities with my tourist visa besides his own and saint petersburg but unfortunately I'm not allowed into Russia anymore until further notice because of the pandemic

Ahh, ok. I was thinking you're the Rusky! Haha.

 

Well, I suggest you look at the NVC timeframes.

NO2 Feb 19.

 

I called NVC today to see if they'd received our case yet, and the person I talked to said to wait around 60 days for them to receive and  process it ("COVID and all that"). I was looking through the k1 timelines and there were a handful where the NVC received their case a little over 2 weeks after NOA2, so I was hopeful, but more waiting game for meeeeee

 

Montreal consulate is still working its way through the 2020 backlog though, so I'll be haunting this forum for a while yet lol

You call, and ask them what date they received the file.

Although USCIS approves your file, USCIS has up to 90 days to deliver it to the NVC.

Arghhhh........... This is my NVC email response to my request of case number and timing.  The waiting is soooooo painful, thank goodness for this site.

(NOA2: 13 Feb)

 

Dear Sir/Madam:

You will be notified once this case is forwarded to the assigned US Embassy/Consulate General.
