So I have my case number and my invoice ID number, what's the next step?

NVC recipients, how long has it taken from receipt to case number assignment?

So now that I know NVC has received the case, how long do they actually take to assign a case number?

Congrats! When was your NOA2??

NOA2 10/23, it and NVC receipt took way longer than expected

I'm thinking about a congressional inquiry. My case was approved 10/23 and on 11/27 the NVC has still not received it

Called NVC this morning, no case number

This is an useful information as I am also waiting for NVC to provide new case number but one question - when you want to talk to tier 2 staff, do you actually request on the phone to NVC that you want to talk to "tier 2"? Is the word tier 1 or 2 recognizable for NVC contact center staffs? Appreciate your advice how to talk to the better person in NVC.

No, I mentioned my case was approved and hadn't received receipt notice from NVC and other couples have when their NOA2 was after mine

I called NVC today and they still haven't received my case, it's been 36 days, this is really pissing me off

Just so everyone knows, I called USCIS and talked with a tier 2 to put in a request to see if the case was actually sent to the NVC. They said they would respond by Dec 9.

Meanwhile NVC told me a while ago they should receive it by November 29th at the latest..

I called NVC today and they still haven't received my case, it's been 36 days, this is really pissing me off

On I-134 Part 3 Number 8 b, it asks for mortgages or other debts, do you need to list a car payment in there?

Greetings from Colombia! Here with my fiancée and curious if any approved May cases have received their case number NOA2 Oct 23

Im flying this evening to visit my fiancée in Colombia. It's unfortunate we didn't get a case number yet, it's been 23 days and we'll probably receive it right at the 6-week mark

Anyone else having any issues contacting the NVC this morning? I've been waiting 22 days since NOA2 and still have not received a case number

We have updated our timeline already too. NOA1 May 10

Forget the chronological order, it's nonsense order

They have never processed in chronological order.  They get a stack and some are easier than others.  If they are hitting petitions around yours you should hear something soon.  

 

There are still 1000 April petitions waiting while about 900 May petitions have already been seen.  You are close.  Just hang in there!

Yea there was one case 10 numbers prior and another one 5 numbers prior to mine that have gotten approved. Our case we organized in a binder with sleeves around each page and organized by document they process in order with 27 pictures of us and boarding passes and ticket stubs to various attractions. I don't understand how that is so difficult to process..

Since we are at day 162 my fiancé just called USCIS. They said can't give much information, but now they are still processing April 1st cases...

WHICH IS SO DEPRESSING, but I also guess it's what the internet site says. WHen he asked more about last month update to get an idea of the speed, she said they don't have that information, which he had to say that if they update it every month at some point somebody knew!!!

Anyways, he asked for a tier 2 and they are supposed to call him back in 83 minutes!

Day 163 and there are a couple cases that have been approved or RFE'd before our case, what happened to chronological order?

Hey everyone! I called USCIS a couple of days ago since I've been watching Shoegum posting all these scans and stuff and not seeing my case number posted (with a specific result as if it had been finally approved or something). I spoke with a tier 2 officer and I noticed he started asking me questions that I had not been asked before, like the name of person who I was applying for, DOB and etc (he usually would ask my address and case number). After all that, he finally told me my case had been approved last Wednesday - Oct 11th and that their website has not been updated... 

I'm expecting to receive a letter this week or the next.. I'm relieved that I finally got good news in this process.. the fact is that it is very hard just to rely on what their case tracker says (Btw, I had my phone number in their system to notify me when my case was approved..).

 

How did you get a tier 2 officer to talk to you?

Hi all, I'm may 10th filer here, planning on getting organized while waiting for the NOA2...What documents do I need to get my fiancee before her interview? And what forms can I fill out while we wait for this infamous NOA2? Thanks in advance!

May 10th here too, you need to send your fiancee I 134, the I 797 NOA2 notice, and she needs different forms depending on her consulate. Common forms are police records, baptism certificates, 6 passport size photos of both of you, her birth certificate, her passport, and any evidence of an ongoing relationship since you two first filed such as call logs, texting transcripts, or photos from when you visited along with the boarding passes to travel there

Had the craziest/greatest of Monday mornings ever. I started calling immigration super early to try to get an update on my case. Eventually I convinced the person to connect me with a tier 2 and was put on a call back with average wait time 81 minutes. During that time, I got the email the USPS about the informed delivery digest....and it had a letter from USCIS in it!!! I was jumping but I didn't want to become too overjoyed. I just got the callback and I was told that my case was approved! My tracker didn't update which is kind of weird because I was getting updates all along, even that they had received my RFE. The notice is dated 10/10/17! And who says Mondays are bad???? 

 

NOA1 received: April 27th

NOA1 notice date: May 1st 

RFE email: September 25th

RFE hardcopy received: September 28th

RFE response received by USCIS: September 29th

NOA2 notice date: October 10th

Can you tell me how you got a tier 2 officer? I tried asking about my background check and they said nobody has access to that information and I smell BS coming from the tier 1 agent
