could you please write when did you receive your case number from NVC

Yes, It's Aug 11th

Our NOA2 was July 13th and it's still showing that it's at NVC. Anyone else in the same situation?

I received a text today @ 8pm saying, " USCIS: Your case was received. Receipt#..... Official Receipt notice(Form I-797)."

I looked up the case number on my USCIS login and it said they received it November 20,2020, and i should get a reciept notice by December 2020. I however have not been charged, they have not cashed the check according to my bank account. Should i be expecting an email as well or is the text it? Any help will do guys. 

That's good news. I got my check cashed after a couple of days from receiving the text. You won't be receiving any other email or text. Just the receipt in the mail

Congratulations, I am happy to hear that. Just to clarify, your application was received in November 3, Right??

Thanks. Yes it was received Nov 3rd hence the receipt date

I've just received the text message. Application sent on Oct 31 and NOA1 now is Nov 3rd. So relieved that there weren't issues and that it was backdated. Wish everyone will get it soon

That's great news. Congrats. Very hopeful to get it soon too

You can see a clear cut in the processing around 26-27 October. Everything before that got their NOA1 while after only a handful of people in all the months till now. While before it took around 3 weeks to get it. It's obvious that it's not a delay but a complete halt now. Not sure when they will decide to resume the processing.

Some feedback is a good thing I guess

Could it be because of the backlog at the embassies due to the lack of interviews they decided firstly to stop sending the applications out of NVC and now because of the backlog at the NVC they decided not to accept the applications from the first place. This will make them appear better since they are taking less time to adjudicate a case not counting the months passed between the actual sending and NOA1?

I don't think they have a good system and they are overwhelmed. But based on the lawyers advice and my experience with immigration for many years (with the help of lawyers), there is really no way other than to wait. I tried everything in the past and it had no impact on the timeline of adjudication. It's frustrating I know

I submitted a question on avvo.com so all of us can benefit from different lawyers opinion. Hope this is helpful

@Greenbaum the frustration is really a combination of general delays till my fiancé gets the visa and the travel restrictions that blocked us from seeing each other for about a year. The tracking indicated the packaged was received on 11/4. So it's almost 6 weeks in a couple of days. No payment was executed (check wasn't cashed)

Same for me - they received our 6 nov and still no word. Have you heard?

Yeah same story for me as well. I'm at more than 6 weeks now and not a word. No money taken out of my account or anything. Maybe it's a good thing that it's apparently not only me, but this doesn't seem right. I sent mine October 27th and it would have been received October 31 which is a Saturday so presumably 11/2? I have another problem in that the local post office screwed up my receipt and so I've had no way of tracking mine although I have no reason to believe it didn't get there. At what point do I assume it's lost? I did call them and it was a complete waste of time.

I'm in the same boat. I sent the application 10/31 and it was received on 11/4. The check isn't cashed yet. I hope we get an update this week.
