Has anyone tried calling the NVC yet for a case number and status? I haven't been able to find any timelines really from July group who have moved along through NVC.
Yes I have called and also emailed. They provided us the case # in email about 5 days prior to the official notice.

Very true. When I tried to explain to my sister how frustrated I was getting, she said I was giving her a headache & that I should exercise more patience. I decided that I would only share with my VJ family. I am grateful that we have each other to lean on. There are some pretty good people on this forum.
Lol at "more patience". SMH.
It is hard and frustrating. As with anything in life, those that have gone through it just understand more. Hang in there. I know when I get particularly frustrated I switch gears and add to my list of activities/events/vacations I want my fiancé and I to complete once he gets here. It takes a negative feeling and turns it into an exciting one. It may be silly but it helps me.

Same!! And it’s hard to talk to friends and family about it because it’s hard to explain the process and how frustrating it is! Feels like only people who have been through it really understand
I have started just sharing the "approval" steps with friends/family because they just don't understand the process. So ever so often I say "yea we got through Step 2" or "Yep, we passed step 3" and then they can share the excitement because they have no idea what I am talking about. But trying to explain the interim frustration is pointless to those that don't "get it".
Hang in there!!

Wish our USCIS case status had been updated... Still sitting on "Case Received" despite having received the NOA2 and NVC confirming receipt of the petition lol...
Edit: Whoops, just realised I posted pretty much the same thing earlier...
It's frustrating. Mine is the same way. USCIS site has never updated but I have the hardcopy NOA2. Argh!!

Honestly I wouldn't count on the websites that much anymore.
I feel like they've been sped up a little so they only send out the hard copies first,
which is more important than the website updates.
Seems not just me but others have got the hard copies before they saw any website updates.
I'll continue praying for all of you! Be positive!
Agreed. Our NOA2-hardcopy was on 12/6 and the website still hasn't changed.

Many here have gotten a NVC case number. You may be a little early. Give it 3-4 weeks for your case to get from USCIS to NVC then begin calling.
There is a lot of good information over in the thread for December NOA2-NVC that would have answered that question. Maybe move over there and get caught up on the discussion where you are now.
This is so helpful. Thank you!

Morning July filers! Just curious if anyone has gotten a NVC case id or if their application has even been received at NVC? My USCIS tracker has never updated but I got eh NOA2 in the mail. I called NVC but case isn't there yet - admittedly, I probably called too early. Just anxious I suppose.
Good luck to everyone!!!

Both of those conditions are absolutely wrong. Does it happen to a small segment of the visa population, YES. Does it happen often, NO.
Hearing from NVC is about 45 days. Your mileage may vary.
This may be silly...but is it 45 business days? Thanks so much for all your guidance.

Anyone dating/ planning to marry Jamaican man?
in Caribbean

Yes to all the love!! We just got our K1 visa approval on 4/6 so we will be getting married soon! We have been doing the long distance thing for over 2 years. I went through almost all the questions/uncertainties that everyone has listed. You're not alone! I would encourage you all to be confident in yourself and your feelings. I traveled alone to see him multiple times and each time had my own arrangements made as backup so if at any point something felt off I had a plan. I also planned trips with friends of mine so they could meet. One trip my bestie and I planned to do a good old fashion "pop-up" -- he didn't even know I was coming!!! I went knowing that there was a risk that everything could crumble that trip in particular (has he lied about everything, will he be angry I have just showed up, is there a whole family I may not know about, does me being here unexpectedly throw everything off, are things different when he doesn't have time to prepare, etc.) But that trip was the best one I had! Being unexpected, I was able to spend even more time with him in his element and see how he handled himself in unexpected situations. And again, if something went left my girlfriend and I could recover from my potential "break-up" in the comforts of a nice resort and life would still continue. I will leave with this...one evening early on in our relationship I was explaining to my mother I was still grappling with whether he may just be using me like what we all hear about, read about, watch in the movies and that awful show on TLC - don't get me started. My mother very sweetly reminded me, "honey, you don't have to go to another country for someone to take advantage of you. That could happen with a man you meet that lives up the street. Don't be afraid to love just be smart when loving."
I would also say look online for LDR (long distance relationships) or on Instagram. I found it helpful to see that this is a thing and there are plenty of successful couples that meet from different worlds and thrive!
Good luck to you all!!!
