H&H.

Am soo angry right now,this is my fourth week since NVC received my case and yet no case number 😩😩😩

It used to take 2 weeks to get one. but I guess since they got backlogged lately including the closures due to weather, they have been slow, hopefully they catch up and return to their quicker/faster days. NVC is faster than USCIS that i can say. Just hang in there soon all this will be history.

as of now i dont see the benefit of having a ceac case. it takes an extra month to get case #. im sure after that its faster but in the long run seems like ends up being the same time as regular case....

Noa2 jan 31st NCS, Nvc received feb 15th, reg case. The case was assigned on mar 20th. Im so happy guys. Finally!!!!! Good luck to everyone else, yours is on the way.

Some folks here told me that Islamabad embassy cases falls into pivot cases category. So yes its probably pivot since it's going to be processed through CEAC, But that's crazy how there own statements differes from one representative  to another. First they told us they received it on 10th january now they are saying its recieved at 17th . So its been 10 weeks almost or 9 according to 2nd representative. When we filled petition i thought i was one of those lucky people whose approval is gonna be fast as it was sent to potomac but naaah! Potomac take 7 months to approve it. And now this. That's insane!!! 

good point i was kind of thrown off too but read the note on top that says do not count any person more than once so if ur sponsoring wife only then u wont put it there 

We got a CC....
SD MARCH 1
CC MARCH 20....

i call twice a day now since in my 7th week lol 

Hey guys...just a tip I thought I'd share...for those doing electronic processing. I have a joint sponsor and household member. When you click on "add joint sponsor" you can enter their info and upload the I-864 and their proof of citizenship. Then it takes about an hour for NVC to process that and add them under your name (the petitioners name). Once their name is added you can submit more documents like tax transcript, proof of domicile, etc. Then it will say "submit documents" once you're all done. I thought if I hit "submit documents" it would only submit them for the person I was working on...I hit submit documents when I was done adding the household members docs...but it submitted everything...mine and the joint sponsor. I wanted to look over mine and my joint sponsors one last time, but I didn't get the chance since it submitted everything! I was able to check what I sent...but you can't change or add anything. I only uploaded one year of tax transcripts for my joint sponsor...I wanted to do 3 years worth...but everything was submitted and I couldn't add that. I'm really hoping its not an issue...but on my joint sponsors I-864 i checked off the box for sending 3 years. So I'm probably going to get a checklist, ugh! So just remember...don't hit submit unless all docs are uploaded for everyone!

how im answering section if it doesnt apply to me....
 

@H & H. You can google a sample ds260 form.  You Will get an idea of the questions and you can be prepared. 

It took us about an hour to complete. I had looked at the sample form months ago, so I knew which info we needed to search for, like the addresses to the universities he attended & past employment info. Take a look at the sample form so you can prepare! 😊

Yes you did

I was having a bad week last week so I didn’t bother calling. I didn’t want some more upsetting news. I will try calling Tuesday morning. Hopefully we will both hear some good news soon!

Yes it is correct. Goodluck

Just an update...we got our case number last monday the 12th...we are a pivot case. It took over 2 months to get the case number. However, the day we received the case number I was able to pay both AOS & IV fees. It took only two days to process and then the DS-260 opened up. We finished that on Thursday...friday I uploaded my husbands civil documents. And today I finished uploading all of the AOS documents. Everything says "Paid" and "Submitted". Now we wait, and hoping we don't get a checklist. So even though it took forever to get the case number...it took only one week to complete everything. Hope that gives some of you some hope who are still waiting for case numbers and are pivot cases!

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.
