I received my NOA2 in the first week of September and I haven't received an NVC letter with my case number. I don't understand why it's taking so long. If the NVC Creation Timeline  says as of 10/24 they are working on cases that were received from USCIS on Sep 26th, shouldn't have I received a letter by now? 

Hey there so yesterday, Saturday, October 22, 2022, I received this email. I find it interesting to start off by writing "the correct case number is... "
Besides that, I don't have an invoice ID, I guess it comes separately!? 
 
I'm really getting excited 😁 

Yesterday we got an answer from NVC saying that our case got there. NOA2: 09/12/2022

Fellow sufferers, any thoughts about incoming shipping date on next Tuesday, is there a ground for hope we can get our numbers in this round? July NOAs are apparently mostly done, August yes and no, us September ones are on the edge of our nerves.

@TTCJ, sure. To be clear, I reached out to USCIS, was trying to confirm whether or not my petition had been sent to NVC by USCIS. It is my understanding that you want to call NVC not USCIS to inquire NVC case number. So I need to confirm beforehand that NVC has my case before I contact them for case number. 
 
First things first, you want to make sure that you're reaching them out during normal business hours, Mon thru Fri 8 am to 8pm EST. I chatted at around 9 am. I went to USCIS website. There's little chat box that says ..Need Help? Ask Emma. I clicked it and typed in Has my case been sent to NVC?
 
Emma (bot) then would list some suggestions but at the end of the list there's an option for Live Chat with representative. I chose that option. It asked for my case number and less than a minute later I was connected to a live agent.
 
Usual drill, she asked for name, address, phone, email to verify. I explained what I was looking for. At first she gave me generic answer saying that on 9/26/2022 my petition has been approved and that I should expect to get the approval letter by 10/14/2022 etc etc. Basically the same information we got from the approval letter. But then I reiterated that I already had that information and that I was reaching out to get confirmation from her (USCIS) that my petition had indeed been sent to NVC and on what date. I also explained to her that she should be able to look it up in the system as many people did manage to get this information from USCIS. About 3 mins later she confirmed that my case had not yet been sent to NVC. I asked whether there's a time frame we could expect it to be sent to NVC. She answered that there's no timeframe that she knew of unfortunately, she could only say that it may take 90 days for me to receive something from NVC.
 
My plan is to reach them out weekly. I will most likely do it in chat since to me it seems to be more intuitive to get to a live rep than calling, it's more convenient and faster too. Again, my own personal opinion. I do get that some people are more comfortable talking directly with customer service.
 
G'luck!

Fiancé had he interview this morning and we were approved. She said it went super easy, the person conducting the interview was actually in a hurry so it seemed expedited, few generic questions, asked about an ESTA that had been canceled last year when we were traveling from Mexico to US, but other than that smooth sailing. She was calling me with the news less than 30 minutes from the start time of her appt. 
 
 

I am most likely the 1 approval from the 106500 group today. Case number 106717.

I won't deny that it's been frustrating. Still have to wait for NVC, embassy, etc. Best of luck to all especially June 2021 filers! Big shout out to @Optimist19 , thank you for the daily tracker!
 
 

Finally Approved!
468 days since filing and 34 days since sending the RFER this big step is completed.
Only strength through God has enabled us to stay strong.
The end result will be worth it.

Also hope to hear something soon

Welp, there it is...we just got approved!!! 423 days. NOA1 7/19/21, NOA2 9/15/22.
 
Wishing everyone else the best of luck! And we are happy to answer questions if anyone has them.
 

Oh my goodness after 510 days, without even getting a RFE, we finally received our NOA2 yesterday. It’s still unbelievable. 
Thank God! 🙏🏽❤️😭
Next steps ahead!!!!
 

Going through K1, CR1, whatever it may be process is just like traversing the five stages of grief.
 
1. Denial. It's going to take how long? No way! I can get a loan approval in 15 seconds - why does it take 15 months for an application?
 
2. Anger. Oh no, how dare they deny our expedite request. And how dare they work so slowly on my taxpayer dime?
 
3. Bargaining. Maybe my Senator can help me. Or a lawyer. Somebody. Anybody?
 
4. Depression. I can't last this long. I was hoping to have kids with them by now.
 
5. Acceptance.
 
The stage that all of us arrive to - sooner or later.
 
When the clock stops.
When it's about the next conversation with them.
When the world slows down just enough to the point where you can learn so many intimate details about them.
When the difficulty of journey makes your bond stronger.
 
When you are no longer afraid of anything.
