yes i did! one of the members said she added me to the group chat and will hopefully get a notification when slots open up😊
also doing the same thing with my fiance! hopefully will get a date soon🙏thanks for your help!!

I had reached out to the help desk a couple days back, and just received this response back to my inquiry about wait times:
"
Dear Applicant,
 
The message "No available appointments" does unfortunately mean that there are no available appointments for the chosen visa category at the chosen Embassy/Consulate.
Please be aware that certain visa categories are very popular and the available slots fill rapidly. As the amount of appointments made available are at the sole discretion of the Embassy and the consulates the only advice we can provide is to keep trying to find an available appointment.
 
Thank you,
The Contact Desk Support Team."
 
Now I'm not a lawyer, so my ability to read between the lines isn't great, but I think I just got told to "Sit down, shut up, and wait to get lucky like everyone else" in the most professional way possible lol.
 
But yeah, what I basically get from this is waiting over a month for an appointment opening that may or may not come is totally normal for this consulate, and they have no plans to change this or help in any way.

holy smokes. 124 days later the nvc has finally received our case!!

God is good…. 🙏

I dont think so. Other people have done so without any sort of penalty. You could also try the public inquiry form first and then they may tell you to contact nvcresearch.

is it a bad idea to keep contacting NVCResearch when they tell you to reconnect in 30 days? i don't really feel like waiting another month to follow up but don't want to pester them

oh yaaayyy this is good news!!! hopefully means mine will come next week🥹

Interview date set for 8/30 🎉

got this response today, day 62:
 
To Whom it Concerns:
The National Visa Center (NVC) received your previous inquiry regarding the status of your visa petition. We reached out to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to locate your petition, but have not received a reply.
If you have not received an update on your case in the next 30 days, please contact us again.
Regards,
 
this is literal madness

We got our case number but when I type it in it say's: Invalid Application ID or Case Number
I did put the correct category, NONIMMIGRANT VISA, and also correct location. 

Any advice other than sending another email to the NVC? I also tried changing the last number a couple of times but no luck.

EDIT: My bad, actually, when I did put IMMIGRANT VISA it said: AT NVC

Looks like all good for now.

I received a response today from Ask NVC Public Inquiry with case number. Status is currently At NVC
 
Noa1: 3/21/2022
