A-square

After a record 1 hour of waiting for someone to pick up I got the case number and IIN today. :joy:

Congrats! Better prepare all the AOS n IV docs now

My husband called NVC just for the hack of it and was told that they're putting our info in the system and was told to call back in two week's could we be lucky enough to get our case number next week lol? Just asking!

Well, who knows you will really get your case number next week

Called NVC yesterday and found out they received our petition on the 12th of August, TSC sent it out on the 5th, how long do you guys predict it should take before a case number is assigned?

Around 10-14 work days. So it might be next week.

Department of State aka NVC

Got it! Never thought of that haha. Thx

@BHSmama congrats on the progress! Silly question, but what is D.O.S?

Same as TaniaG. Right away after my husband got the case number and IIN, we could log on right away, filled out DS-261 and paid AOS bill. We are waiting for our IV bill now, but we've sent out our AOS and IV package (on the same day as we got welcome letter).

For everyone who is waiting for case number or IIN, it's better for you to prepare the next documents needed. Esp if it takes several day for you to get police certificate. Thank God I don't need to send out police cert since I am from Indonesia.

Good luck everyone! Please keep all of us updated.

No update from us this week. Hopefully next week!

Keep your head up and keep the faith! Believe that your approval is coming soon. Please keep us updated.

Big congratulations to you and hubby! God is good all the time!

Second to what mbalih said. My case wasn't updated to received by NVC too. It still says approved on USCIS website until now. We had to call NVC to know.

@Danielhenson usually aroud 7-10 days. Then another 2 weeks for case number to be assigned. Our NOA2 was July 9 and NVC received it on July 17. We got our case number and IIN on August 6. It's different for each case and center. Try to call NVC again tomorrow to ask whether they've received your documents or not.

The support on here is great... Someone asking who else hasn't gotten approved so that they can pray for them too! Can't wait to let everyone know when we get our approval!

I am praying for you butterflies0124! I believe you will be dancing in joy soon. Together with all of us of course.

Got our Case Complete!! Thank You Lord!! Yahooooooooo!!!! :joy:

Congrats! Hope you'll get your interview date soon

They received my i-130 on march 6, 2015 and 5 months later (right now), the status still "Case Was Received" as below. Is this normal? This is vermont SC. I've been waiting and waiting..

Case Was Received

On March 6, 2015, we received your Form I-130, Immigrant Petition for Relative, Fiance(E), or Orphan, Receipt Number xxxxxxx, and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your receipt notice by April 5, 2015, please call Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

That's normal. I think you can start calling them now since it's been 5 months. Either that or wait for another month, but the earlier the better.

Is there anyone else who is still waiting for approval?

God is good all the time, and all the time god is good!!!! On this very day at this very moment my case was approve. To every one that pray etc thanks a million but most of all thank you Jesus for your many blessings. To those that are still waiting rest a shore your approval is coming this week!!!

Yay, all glory to God! Congratulations! So happy to hear that

@BHSmama How long has it been since you sent the document for RFE? I will pray for you for fast approval. By God's grace the approval is yours soon. In Jesus name!

@Gul2015 My husband tried to pay the AOS bill again and he finally got the receipt. Have you paid it?

For those whose documents have been received by NVC, you can wait for a week from the receive date and then start calling them twice a week. Yay for moving forward!

Thats great about the case number! So he didnt get any confirmation upon AOS payment? Just wondering because we should be paying ours today too.

Thanks! Yea we didn't receive any notification or anything. The status is still not paid. We will wait for probably 2 days to see. Hubby doesn't want to submit the payment twice since he is scared he will get charged again.

Congrats to all March filers who were already approved. August is your month, just like July to us February filers, so just be prepared. Hope everyone who hasn't been approved yet will hear good news soon!

Thank you, Gul2015! Hubby just called NVC and we got our case #. Yay!

We already paid the AOS bill too and filled in DS-261. Praise the Lord!

edit: hubby tried to pay AOS bill but he's not sure if it went through. We will wait for couple of days.

Thank you, Gul2015! Hubby just called NVC and we got our case #. Yay!

We already paid the AOS bill too and filled in DS-261. Praise the Lord!

Good news! I called NVC yesterday(8/4) and our case number had just been assigned the day before so I got it and the IIN The case was received by NVC on 7/17, So 11 working days for case number to be assigned. But when I asked him if I should give in our email addresses he said the case is too new and he can't edit or make any changes to it quite yet. He said to call back by the end of next week and give the email ID's. I didnt bother logging into it with our case number till today and noticed that the DS261 was available to fill out. So I did that today

Yay! Congrats. One step closer. Hope I will get my case # soon cause my case was received on the same day.

Congratulations! i've read that Ghana consulate is a tough one. Praise God for your visa!

Guys, it has been 13 days since the NVC received my case, but still no case #!

How much longer now?? Would it really be 4 weeks till I get a case # assigned?

I have been calling regularly but the same response every single day.

I'm really freaking out here.

It's been 18 days for me too, no sign of case # assigned yet, and I'm getting impatient with NVC. Hubby called them last Friday n no good news.

I got email confirmation that our case is completed.. We're just waiting for our interview date to be scheduled.. Thank you Lord..

Congratulations! Best of luck for your interview. Hope you get your interview date fast.

Congratulations to everyone who got approved !

Has anyone tried calling NVC @ 603-334-0700. But, my call was disconnected with a message, " Due to increased number of calls. NVC is taking any calls.Thank You"

Did anyone else experienced the same thing ?

Hubby called NVC on Friday night around 10PM and was disconnected for 2 times. Then after 30 mins he called again, connected to the representative.

Wife and stepchild cases received 7/28, I called nvc

today no cases # assigned yet.. They say it could take 42 days...

Same. Already more than 2 weeks at NVC but no cases # yet. I'm getting a little impatient but oh well what else can I do but keep calling and keep praying.

God is Great. Today we received our I-130 NOA2 approval. Thanks for all the February filers that have been praying for us. Please let us continue to pray for all the others so every February filer can get their approval this month and also let us continue to pray for the NVC stage and for the successful completion of the interview process. Thanks every for your prayers and support.

Congratulations! Welcome to NVC boat.

Congratulations! That's awesome. I believe that soon, all February people will be approved. Before the 2nd week is August is up, they must look into March by then.

Amen!

Big amen!!
