CnE2019

Evening people, I just called NVC and was told they got our file last Friday but no case number generated yet, I just wanted to give you a heads up the rep told me they are assigning April 24th case numbers, so it's coming up people

Thank you! Yeah, no choice but to be patient. I guess we're actually just gonna wait for that 6th week lol have a great day!! 

Thank you!! I'll do some digging and look through everything. I'll certainly let you know if/when I get the P3 letter and whatever else I find out. 

@Greenbaum First, thank you as always for all your help and instructions! I'm going back to your PDF now, and wanted to ask if you have the P3 for Chile? Thanks again!

Woo hoo! We have a case number! We were approved April 1, and I called the NVC almost daily for the first couple weeks. I work in 9-1-1 healthcare here in the States so I've been a little busy/overwhelmed/stressed with work these days and haven't been keeping up with calling for well over a week now. But finally today I was able to call and wait on hold for an hour and to my great relief the wonderful woman at the NVC had a case and invoice number for me!! She told me that they WILL be shipping our packet and WILL be sending our case to the Embassy in Santiago, Chile, but that the Embassy is not doing interviews at the moment. I asked if she knows if they are on schedule for their "ship out" dates and she wan't able to give me a for sure date/answer. But they are still sending cases out to embassies which is such a relief to hear. I need to go back to the PDF from this thread and follow the instructions now that I have our number. But just wanted to post for everyone who is still waiting because we all need hope and answers from all the day to day craziness we're tackling lately 🙂🙃

Yes, I’ll update it on my timeline! It’s weird. It seems most of the people that have yet to receive their case number were the ones approved on April 1. 

The PDF file on the first page first post says that it takes 30 days to NVC from USCIS and another 1-2 weeks for a case number to be issued by the NVC. You're both to early. 

Same thing here, we were approved by April 1st and I called last Thursday they said it hasn't arrived, I'm anxious too cause I've heard it could get lost while it's being sent to NVC but I see we're not the only ones with this answer so it relaxes me a little bit

Time to reopen our country because we don't have to be scared of this virus but we need to shut down all legal immigration because this virus is out of control.

If that is the case, I guess my husband and I will be moving to New Zealand, which would actually be fine with me.  I'll take my 20 year nursing career with me.

It's been a couple days since I've been able to get on and update but, on April 1 WE GOT APPROVED!!!!!😄🥳
I'd been checking and refreshing my App on my phone multiple times a day for at least a week and when we hung up from a video chat I wishfully checked the App, refreshed it, and about lost my mind when I saw it had updated...I still check to make sure it wasn't an April Fool's joke hahaha.
I saw the approval on my Case Tracker app, and on the USCIS website, but as of today I still have not received a text (the text was the first notification I got back in December for our Noa1) or an email, so it was a surprise to see on the app. Just waiting to see if I'll get an email, and when the official notice comes in the mail.
We have been so so happy and relieved, it's like there's some true light at the end of this tunnel for us. I wanted to updated our timeline and I know how helpful it has been to see everyone else's posts and get some answers from those of us ahead of our case. Sorry that it has been  a couple days. Hope everyone is hanging in!

Ahhhh I think you are misinformed. NVC is assigning case numbers and shipping cases to the embassies that will accept. 

We got our NOA2 TODAY! I almost did not check today, but thought "why not". When I saw the status change on my case tracker app I almost fell over!
And now, we continue waiting. Is this correct that NVC is not operating at the moment? I had not heard that. I knew the embassies were closed (or, at least the embassy in Peru is currently closed).
I guess we continue to be patient

Guys, we got approved today!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
 
NOA1 Dec 2nd
NOA2 Mar 24th !
 
I was however laid off from work a week ago, so a bit concerned about the GC process. Only have our savings at this stage. 😬
 
Hoping to get my job back when the non essential businesses open back up, but I am concerned.
 
How is that going to impact our AOS? We have a good amount of savings and I will look for a job.
 
Nonetheless, 🥳🤩!

we need a rant and vent section 

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in quick succession when we lived in Houma, LA then Hurricane Harvey while here in Houston and now Coronavirus...no worries, this too will pass and we'll all come through the other end. Keep the faith...

I woke up feeling the exact same way today. The thought of having to wait any longer to be with my fiance is really really bringing me down. Luckily our plans weren't for him to come over until around September (we are still waiting on NOA2 anyways...) so I am hopeful things will have calmed some what by then. But it's the unknown that is frightening of course. We won't know until we know......best we can do is keep our mind occupied and be there for one another in these hard times.

There are many many couple like you. Spouses are waiting 12-16 months easy, including my self, with the increased wait time before consulate interview. Now add this chaos into it all.😒

Suck though it does, "this too shall pass."
Think positive thoughts, occupy your time constructively*, and keep the faith.
     *violent physical exercise is a big help
