My case was received today at NVC!!! how much time takes to generate the number?

JUST GOT MY NVC NUMBER!
This was the email, so I'm not sure what to do now, also I have to guess it was today, since we called yesterday and they had nothing.
(Trying to update the spreadsheet but it tells me something is wrong, there is some protection and I can't change anything!)
Dear Sir/Madam:
 
The National Visa Center (NVC) received your inquiry regarding the immigrant visa petition: ********* filed by *********** on behalf of ************.
 
The correct case number is listed below.
 
This petition is currently undergoing necessary clerical processing. You will be notified with further instructions when the processing is complete.

Hey guys sorry I been MIA since noa2 had many things to do,my love is coming on Wed,called an hr ago and we got our case number yaaay! Exactly 5th week,gonna update my timeline now

Finally I saw some cases that hit 45/46 days changing at the spreadsheet and it filled my heart of hope, I have 45 days and we will call today for USCIS/NVC I will cross my fingers!!

Hey guys. Just called NVC and was told that they are currently working on my case! YAAAAAAY! Funny thing is I called yesterday and they said they didn't have it yet but today they said they are working on it. I was also told that they got it on Jan 8 so I guess it took a little while to be processed in. I'm sooooo happy right now just knowing they are moving my case along and it's out of USCIS. They told me I should have a case number within two weeks but I will start calling in a few days. Just thought I would share with all of you. Keep the faith =)

GUYS! My visa interview is the 30th of jan!  !!

Scan for past few days.

I have the case number now. Is the next step DS-160?

Guys, we got married today!!!!
so very happy and can't believe that after struggling so much with the whole process, it finally happened! Never quit believing, it's a long journey but totally worth it!

I love Seinfeld, and Newman and George were my favorites. With that said, this gif from last night was for a good reason, I'm surprised you guys didn't catch on....
 
Yesterday I had a biggest day of my life. My cute little Mrs. Squirrel has been APPROVED! I came home late, seen the letter, and posted that gif. I was just overwhelmed to write anything, feeling of relief like no other. 
 
With that said, LOOK OUT FOR YOUR MAILMAN !!! No email, no app update, no scan update .... nothing .... just good ol' Newman the mailman. Date on the letter is June 4th Monday. 
 
Can't write much now, will fill you in on details tonight when I get home. I truly appreciate you guys, love you all and will be here until we are all gone. Thanks for accepting me as an equal! 
 
May God bless America !
 

We need some positive vibes @Squirrel!!! 

Same for me on June 9th,  just hurry up and wait.   I plan on going down in February would love to visit now but there is too much political unrest down there and they have closed the airports.   I will wait forever for her this is only time.  At least skype and messenger help,  I could not imagine going through this before the internet, not having this community, just days on end waiting and telephone.

I am at the point that if we ever do get approved that I will be in so much shock that I might actually not believe it's real or have a real heart attack from it. I am not sure anymore. I almost feel numb. In other news we officially have the flu virus rampant in our home...so....yay! 😕

I was planning on sleeping already because it's 2:06AM here in the Philippines. I told myself to have one final check in the USCIS app and at that exact moment, it notified me that we got approved!!! Case approved on Day 185! 
 
I'll continue praying for everyone, guys!!! I read this thread every single day since I discovered it late November. I hope that all Junies will get approved before the year ends!!! 
 
I think my fiancè don't know this yet. I'll try to call him. ❤️❤️❤️

It was amazing and helped me realize that I will wait forever to be with them.  If you get a chance, go visit your partner.  It really helped with the stress and the agony of just not knowing what is going on.  I am a new man with a renewed desire to be with Rose.  Whatever the government throws at us we can take.  We will end up together no matter how long that journey lasts.

Thanks!  That was from my trip last week.  I thought I should update its since I will be here for a while!

Magic happened. I got approved! NOA1 - 19 June, NOA2 - 20 Dec!!! Truth to be told I didn't expect it this year, or thought we would get a RFE!!! Anyway, wish you the same guys!!! Fingers crossed!!!!

My adjudicator probably took my case home, won the lottery, and never came back...

I try to apply the randomness of case selection/processing on the working environment these petitions are worked in being quite possibly very similar to my own work condition, which is paralleled in productivity. (*clears throat* .... sorry for the long post)
 
My office receives various forms of correspondence from different people (I work at a financial institution) from multiple agencies, or that are sent directly to the CEO. These cases can range in size, number of issues, and amount of research needed. We have an intake distribution team (two people) who receive these files, build the cases, and distribute across all team members that do what I do. We all have individual queues we work independently, and varying cases, from date received, to date the case was actually built and assigned. Quite simply, and probably the most logical explanation for the varying processing dates - not all people work the same speed. I'm super fast. I type fast, I navigate fast, I'm good at my research. I try hard to get cases submitted for Quality Control review within 2 to 3 days of receiving it. The oldest case in my box right now is a case assigned to me on December 18. However, I know for a fact I have people in my office who have cases much older than that right now. This means I have customers whose cases I've worked that have already received their final response letter, while other customers who other people have worked cases for (that are older than the latter) haven't even had their final response letter completed yet. Whether it's because they just manage their pipeline differently than I do, they work slower, or the case(s) they have that are older are just more involved. The more pages/information, the longer it takes. I also believe people who send more information with their petition may require more time to review, and end up taking longer than someone else that was received close to when they were. Not that more information than others is a bad thing - but these are humans reviewing these packets, not machines.
 
We also don't know what their review process looks like. Depending on the beneficiary country and information required, do they have to reach out to different points of contact throughout the review? Do certain countries or cases require second level reviews, or an additional security check? If a case meets certain criteria, does it require any sort of escalation or second level review? We get cases at my job that often require us, in my position, to reach out to other lines of business within the bank such as Legal, Compliance, etc. This of course lengthens the review time and essentially the resolution.
 
As frustrating as it is, and as hard as it is to see outside of the blinders we all wear while trying to find that light at the end of the tunnel for our personal case....there are a lot of factors, most of which we probably don't have a clue about. Do politics play a part? It's easy to say they do, but we also can't say without a shadow of a doubt that this is the reason, or at least the sole reason. Changes to substantial legal processes, including legal immigration, require a lot more than someone coming into office and declaring their opinion. A lot of channels have to be followed before anybody would actually see or experience any significant change, such as people like us already in the midst of a legal process like immigration. (In my opinion; but I am no politician. ).
 
Shorthand version - I haven't reached that point yet where I believe skipping days or processing out of order necessarily means anything tragic. It also doesn't mean those people will be forgotten and left behind. I refuse to believe that. I still maintain my belief, as above, that it comes down to differences in human processing speeds. Which just makes me wish I could teach a typing course or something with USCIS to help these people speed up a little.
