I don't know about specific requirements in Armenia, but the only document you file and upload online is the DS-160. The rest of the documents are to be brought to the interview!

We ended up receiving the email at the end of the working day fortunately!

Hopefully it’ll come soon for us too, I tend to worry 😅

CEAC status just changed to “in transit”, but no K1-FTP yet! Do you guys know when we should receive the email?

Keep in mind NVC timeframes refer to when NVC received the petition from USCIS and not when we got our NOA2. Unfortunately USCIS doesn't ship them right away.

The timeline isn't exactly the same. Although USCIS seems to be forwarding petitions to NVC faster than a couple of months ago, NVC is now taking its time to assign case numbers. Now it takes around 3 months to get a case number, some people had to wait slightly less, but the mark seems to be 90 days. Keep in mind, NVC phone lines have been taken down a few months ago so you can't call them, but you can send them an email. I'd suggest a first inquiry after 30 days and you can use either NVCResearch@state.gov or the public inquiry form here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html . Use NVC Research if you don't know if your petition has reached NVC yet, they're faster and generally more accurate!

Fingers crossed you'll hear something this week or receive the email once it's shipped!

The phone lines ave been suspended months ago. You can contact them using through NVCResearch@state.gov if your case isn't at NVC yet, or through the public inquiry form here https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html

They should come back to you by the end of the week, hopefully! This is what I said in the email: "Hello, I am inquiring to know our correct case number for our approved I-129F petition. NVC confirmed our petition was received on 06/29/2023. To assist you in locating my application, please find the following details: Petitioner's Full Name: ......... Petitioner's Date of Birth: ........... Beneficiary's Full Name: ............ Beneficiary's Date of Birth: ............ Receipt Number: WAC...... I kindly request the correct case number assigned by the National Visa Centre." I also attached our NOA2 and the email received on 6/29

I received NOA2 on 5/17. After that I inquired for the first time after 30 days. On June 29th we got the "received but not in our system" response. This week was our fifth time inquiring about the case number, we sent one every week and this last time we also attached a screenshot of the email received on 6/29. I know it's very frustrating, but keep sending inquiries every week! When was your last inquiry?

After 83 days from our NOA2, today my fiancé received our case number through inquiry. I couldn't be happier, hopefully we will make it for the next shipment dates 🤞

This is giving me hope, thank you so much!🤞

A bit of a silly question. I received this response to my inquiry to NVCResearch, should I get excited about the “detailed instructions soon” or is it just part of the automated response?

I'm pretty much in the same situation, it's absolutely exhausting having to deal with wait after wait! I really hope you'll get your case number soon, I'm planning to let them know they've had our case for more than a month in my next inquiry, maybe that will help. Keep us updated 🤞

Usually the first 3 letters of the case number are short for the embassy, MNL is Manila for example. Here's a list of US embassies/consulates: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/list-of-posts.html

Congrats!🎉😀

Thank you! We have inquired on the same day so I hope to hear good news either today or tomorrow. Congrats on your case number and let's hope tomorrow is your day 🤞

May I ask when you inquired? I'd check when the case number was actually created, I wouldn't exclude them sending it out already.

I'm on day 76, received my NOA2 5/17. I sent an inquiry Thursday evening, so hopefully will get the case number soon

Pretty much the same for me. NOA2 received on 5/17, got the "waiting for data entry" response on 6/29. After my inquiry on Monday, I got the same response yesterday. I'm hoping that with the next batch of petitions going to embassies/consulates next week, we can get a case number🤞
