Congratulations, MrsKhan. Did you get 2 separate case numbers for you and your husband from NVC? And 2 separate invoice numbers as well, right? I am assuming these are separate for each of you, but want to confirm. We are Sept filers, so following you all July filers. This forum is so useful. Thanks for your response in advance.

Yes we are 2 seperate cases. And we received 2 case numbers and 2 invoice numbers One for me and one for my husband.

We are in the same boat together, filled my ds261 last night.

 When did you receive your case number?  I received last night but can't log in yet.

congrats

I got even more excited seeing this because I share your exact NOA2 date (31st january) and NVC received dates (16th February).

 

But when I rang them up yesterday and today, they are telling me that they did NOT receive my case yet. It is not in their system.

i don't even ask anymore questions after that, because the answer will be "it can take up to 6 weeks for USCIS to send a case to NVC"

 

have the NVC LOST MY CASE!??

Oh no. I think you should follow up with the supervisor and don't leave it. Quite  a few people have said about nvc doing this.  It's just not fair. U should call them and ask them. 

Good luck!

That's normal! I am just a couple weeks ahead of you. It took about a week from me verbally getting my case number and invoice number for me to be able to log onto the website. A recommendation (learned from a failure on my part...), once you are able to fill out the DS-261, call the next day and have them review it on the phone. I didn't do this because it said "Complete" and my AOS fee unlocked. However, I waited an extra week and my IV fee didn't unlock, so I called and they said it was because the DS-261 was not yet approved. Just because it was "Complete" didn't mean it had been reviewed. I lost probably about 5 days of time because of this :/ Congrats on case number! I know getting mine just made us feel excited to get things moving again. 

Should we call immediately after completing the ds261 or wait for a day. 

Got case number and  invoice number.  But when I am logging to fill ds261 it says it's not ready for further processing by the national visa center at this time. 

I got the case numbers but later realised I didn't ask for the invoice numbers. I will call back today and ask.  Is that how it's done and did people get both case number and invoice number at the same time?

Congrats!! If you provided your email addresses in your I-130 form, they already have it. You should receive a welcome e-mail shortly!

 

For people who missed it, can you please fill in the spreadsheet to track case number assignment dates! Thank you!!   

I just did but now I have 2 entries on the spread sheet!

That's actually a great idea!

 

I put together a spreadsheet, using a format similar to the one @dwheels76 uses for the interview tracking. 

 

So guys, if you'd like for us to track case numbers assignments a bit easier, can you please fill out this form and check out this spreadsheet!

Thanks for making the spread sheet.  How can i go on it without coming here everytime? Thanks

Anybody got their case number today??

As per the discussions in this forum, NVC has generated case numbers till receipt date of feb 14 (Although there are some exceptions). You might receive your case number by the end of this week or early next week. NVC received my case on 21st of feb. So I'm waiting too. fingers crossed! 

I really hope so. Good luck to us!

 Sometime between Feb 18th and Feb 20th, NVC received a mega batch of approvals that they weren't prepared to handle. It was our group that started being told that the norm 2 week wait for case numbers is now 8 weeks. Start reading 10 to 15 pages back for the full story. The snow storms haven't helped any either. 

My case was received Feb 16th and I haven't got a case number  yet. I  am in the same boat as you guys!

Good Morning,

I have called the NVC and received my case numbers, they said they do not know when will i receive my welcome letter. What is teh next step, and generally how long does it take ?

Thanks for all the help.

Congratulations!!! Happy for you!  

I am in my 5th week. Called today but no case number yet.  After reading about you I have hope now for this week!!!

I’m crying right now because of the case number :((. I have regular case and as other member recently got their case number after 4 weeks, I have a big hope getting mine this week. However, there is nothing :(. It is exactly 1 month since NVC received my case from Uscis. 

You are not alone. We are in the exact same boat as you.  Today is exactly 1 month when nvc received our case.  I had big hopes today but when i called they said it can take upto 8 weeks. When I asked when i should call back to  check he said you don't need to call we will send you a welcome letter. He sounded rude.

Nvc received my case three weeks back and still haven’t generated a case number. No accountability...........very difficult to stay away from your love......

Tomorrow will be exactly 4 weeks for us. When I called today they said it takes upto 8 weeks to generate a case number.

You got the same statement they gave me yesterday. The snow storms are not helping either. Is the 8 weeks in addition to your wait time or when they received your case?

 Altogether 8 weeks is the timeframe now for receiving case numbers.

you might expect a case # 4 weeks from the time NVC received it.

Tomorrow will be exactly 4 weeks since nvc received my case.  And today they said it  can take  upto 8 weeks so I should wait.

I called the NVC today and was told that the 6 week clock was reset the second time my case was sent to a supervisor. Was anyone else told the same thing? That seems absurd to me.

When I asked for my case to be sent to a supervisor as it was taking  too long for a case number,  the lady suggested not to  do that as it would delay it by 6 weeks.  Don't know how true is that.  Btw I m still waiting and it's my 4th week.
