So you do not need your NVC number to complete the DS-160?

[Danae Smilie 28]

Never Mind, you do need the Application Receipt/Petition Number  so I guess i have to wait for NVC>

Here's Friday so far, as a note today is likely going to be lower than usual~

We're at 24 updates so far and I'm not expecting to see many more changes in the next hour or so. I believe I got most of my errands taken care of this week, including getting caught back up on work, so the updates next week should happen more closer to 12PM/4PM.

That puts us at 36 (+12) updates. I haven't done any research, personally, but I have been hearing that the USCIS is all hands on deck processing Ukrainian applications with maximum priority. If that is true then it could explain why we've seen a drop in activity since last week.

This is something I read about UK seems like it would apply to US also. 
 

The UK Visas and Immigration department announced that due to prioritisation of Ukraine Family Scheme applications, processing times for general visa and immigration applications are expected to increase. This would affect applications for study, work and family visas, among others. Additionally, ‘priority’ and ‘super priority’ visa services have been temporarily suspended due to the priorisation of new visa applications. In the United States, Gold and Silver consular services are suspended until further notice. Affected applications will be downgraded to the next available service level. Standard visitor visas are currently taking approximately six weeks to process.

Good morning everyone, is there any forum available after NOA 2 is received to keep track of NVC status and updates for March 2021 filers ?

[Pranav469 47]

How are people able to talk to the USCIS reps? I just called the number and I got stuck on the answering system and they ended after I asked to talk to a representative. This is not the type of service I expect when I call a government service. Absolutely horrible.

You can call them two weeks after NOA2. But we got our letter from NVC via email around that time so it wasn't neccessary to call. After that you have your case number and you can track your case at ceac website. When the status is ready, fill out DS 160.

When you call and it asks you what you want, you say "info pass" this will connect you to a rep, you may have to wait a little. I've found them minimally helpful and that's me being kind lol

Just talked to them via the email website chat and the agent refused to give me any info other than use the website to check timeline and case status. When I asked for a reason the timeline got extended she didn’t even respond. Just a great standard set by the USCIS as usual.

Where are you seeing this, is this within your DS-160 or TravelDocs? DS-160 does not ask for anything outside USCIS from what I recall. If you're on the DS-160, I'm pretty sure the accompanying tooltip makes clear this is not your case number, but your WAC from USCIS.

6 Approvals and 1 RFE, for a total of 7 cases touched. Slow start, so we are most likely to have another tremendously slow week again. Let's see how numbers are at lunch time & end of day.
