Here's how I do it. I call the immigrant line 603-334-0700, English, then option 5. It always says busy, call back later. You have to literally just call back to back for a minute straight or longer until it connects. 

Call 603 334 0888 the non immigrant line.

Thanks for the reply but when I tried it keeps telling me that my case number was invalid. I will call NVC tomorrow again to verify it 

Okay but remember you need to select IMMIGRANT VISA  from the drop down box. If you select NONIMMIGRANT VISA  it will say that your case number is invalid.

Hello, 

I got my case number from NVC today (NOA2 was 6/09/2017). Can I already check the status of my case or do I have to apply for the visa first before I can check the status. Thank you!

You can check at the link below. You don't need to apply first.

If it is still at NVC it will say "AT NVC"

Wow thats crazy fast! 

From my experience NVC recieved my packet 2 weeks after my NOA2 and assigned a case number about a week after they recieved it. 

Maybe those who received a case number almost immediately - it took a while for uscis to transfer the case to NVC.

It took 3 weeks for NVC  to receive my case and they assigned a case number the following day. Bringing it to the standard 3 weeks a person would wait from NOA2 to case # assigned. 

Now, I am hoping it will take the standard 5 days or less to get to the embassy.

I know !! 

But for some reason it seems to be down ! 😓

The CEAC site is up and running again. 😊

I've noticed the same. There doesn't seem to be any consistency to it. It makes sense because USCIS is still involved as the case is transitioned away from them.

Agreed

Hi all ! 

Anyone having trouble with the ceac case tracker website ? 

I've been trying to open it and the link seems to be down because it just displays an error page and wont open 😒

Yes, same here. I've been trying for an hour now but keep getting an error page as well.

You can fill out before nvc receives ur case and save it. Once the status says ready only then u submit it. Just write your application ID for it down because u need that to sign in 

Got it -  thanks!

Oh shucks! You will definitely have to start over because you need it to retrieve the application. They don't email that to you or anything when u start. Sorry

Hi, when do you fill out the DS 160? Is it after your status says "ready" in CEA?

He needed to get two more shots.. he went to a clinic paid for one and got the next one free so when he went to the hospital in Kingston he only had to pay for his medical only.. you have any more shots to get like chicken pox get it from a doctor.. the certified hospital would be too much 

Okay, I will let him know.

I know of packet 3 instructions but what's in packet 4?

Cool. Thanks.

They sent it pretty quick because when I checked to track the case it didn't say in transit I called them everyday and they said we just sent it off and the next day it said ready.. btw you don't have to wait for them to send you packet 3 & 4 do it online or if you are unsure go to a local consulate by you to fill it out

Okay thanks.  Did your fiance had to get any vaccines? Is it better to wait for the medical before getting any vaccines?

Cool 😎 how far along are you with your case?

I received my case # yesterday, so hopefully in a few days the case will be sent to the embassy.

They aren't for us, but our lawyer is asking us to do it anyway.

Ahhh.... I see its a requirement for some countries and for others it is not.

Just as a reminder. Vaccinations are not required for K 1-4 Visas. But are required for AOS. There are many discussion about vaccinations being done in the US for AOS. You need a (forgot the exact phrase,) USCIS Approved Doctor. Then getting the correct Vaccinations many have had problems. Plus the expense. My Fiance asked the Doctor in her country what vaccines were needed. She has NO vaccination records. The doctor told her to qualify for AOS she only need 3 vaccines.

Vaccinations are not required for k1 visas?? Is this new?

May I asked what parish he is from?

click on her timeline! You can find it there

Ahhh... yes. It is also under Consulate review on the home page.

The June 24th date confused me a little bit but I guess that was just an error.

Thanks

Yeah, I'm still on 138.

This is ridiculous!!!!

While I am grateful that I have received my NOA2 - took 99 days from NOA1 to be exact it is ridiculous that uscis has some folks waiting for over 120 days and nothing!!!

One would think that they all would be working on cases with a certain received date and after they have seen all those, they would move on to the next date so that some folks won't be left wondering is their file/ case got lost, is being ignored or accidentally ended up in the trash. 

One thing is clear, uscis is not organized and nothing seem to be done in a systematic way. I was told by one of their rep that this is a first come first serve process. ......but clearly this is not the case. 

To those who are still waiting on NOA 2 l feel your frustration too because it could have been me.

Hang tight, hopefully it won't be long.
