my noa 2 Sep 9, still waiting for the case number 😊

[OumTH 1]

Hi All, My NOA 2 was approved on September 12, 2022. The query was sent to NVCResearch on October 26, 2022, and I got the answer on November 2, 2022, saying they had received our case from USCIS. and we also sent the public query on October 27, 2022, and got the answer on November 11, 2022, saying they hadn't received our case from USCIS yet. This is so confusing to me. I am not sure what to do for the next step. Should I contact USCIS or just wait? Anyone have experience with this? Thank you in advance.

nothing yet 😩

Us too it’s 67 days now and nothing

[JonLu 3]

Been waiting 73 days since approval for an update. Just filed a congressional inquiry to see if they can help me locate the case number and if it's been shipped to embassy already. Very frustrating...  

[Nat Dan 13]

I send inquiry to NVC and they said they will let me know when they will send my case to consult/embassy also gave me case number.  The case number that was given is this the case number we need? And how come we never got any  emails about letting us know they have received our case from uscis ? Does case number starts with certain letters? Thank you

Did you receive an email from NVC? Did they receive your case from USCIS?

 

Oct 25th, we received an email from AskNVC saying that they had our case. 

Nov 11th, we reached out a local congressman but haven’t got any reply from him or NVC.

 

Two months passed from NOA 2 (9/15).

I have case number but what is the case number for? 

[Nat Dan 13]

The correct case number is ***********

 

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

This is the response I got from them does it mean they received it? And what is the case number for? The nuns alone doesn’t let me log in to anything. Any help??

That number is your case number from NVC, it should start with three letters (indicating the country Embassy) followed by ten digits (if it starts with WAC then its not the NVC case number). It seems that NVC has your case and will notify you once the case is forwarded to the Embassy/Consulate. Going forward this is how you track the case, go to this site and put that number into the filed, make sure immigrant visa is selected from the drop down. It will go through the following phases: 'at NVC', 'Transit', 'Ready' once its showing 'Ready', you can fill out the DS-160, pay MRV fee and schedule interview. 

The last sentence above and the order of how things are done is country specific, please fill out your timeline so others can help you more specifically if needed. 

I did try that site you posted and I put the number in but it doesn’t open a web site. However another page opens and has another link but requires invoice ID number or something like that. I think I have to wait for the welcome letter from NVC? so I can get that Invoice ID number. Also thank you for reply

Anyone has any idea of the timelines for this? I never hoped to get an answer in 2-4 weeks and was silently waiting for the 60 day mark, and now it's day 63 and still nothing. These people are out of this world

According to this it takes 48 days (currently) just to be received by NVC.
