Congrats buddy. Really really happy for you. That was super fast from VSC. :dance: :dance:

So, basically, I should just keep calling once a week to see if there's a case number?

You can call everyday if you want. I started calling everyday after a week passed by from my approval date.

Ok...so I finally got through to the NVC and they said that my case was received but I have to give it 6 to 8 weeks until it's loaded into the system and then I'll hear from them at that point! She wouldn't even take my e-mail address! Has this happened to anyone else here ??? What is going on?

yes. They say 6-8 weeks but usually it takes 2-3 weeks from your NOA2 approval date. They will not take the email address as they dont have a case number for you. So once you get your case number, they will take the information.

How did you get through to them? I've tried calling about 10 times every hour and it's ALWAYS busy! The # I'm calling is (603) 334-0700...is that the only number to get thru to the NVC?

yes that is the only number. I kept on hitting redial until i got through. Today i got through on my 5th try. Keep trying and good luck.

Update: Just called NVC and finally received my case number. Gave them both the email addresses and now waiting for the email from them. Once I get the email, i will be sending an email version of DS3032.

Congratz to all the new approvals!! :dance:

Johndoe: I'm sure you're wondering this yourself, but is it normal to be waiting this long for the NVC number at this time? Have you called them?

I call everyday n get the same response. So If I don't get anything till Tuesday I will talk to the supervisor

Update: No case number yet. Just waiting as I did during USCIS stage

congrats!!!!!

:dance: Got Approved today as well :dance:

Here they come!! Thanks for all your advise and help with the process and now onto the NVC Stage. Kruz just started a thread for OCT NVC so feel free to join us there!

Congrats!!!!! :dance: :dance:

Yea that's all I can hope for. I think they just put a "RED FLAG" on my case or something. I called and the lady asked me for the birthday and then she goes "i just scrolled down and it says it will take 6-8 weeks" Just great dont u guys think.

John Doe got his NVC number yesterday...keep calling and try to speak to operator...

That was Johndoe Senior. NOt me

yay everyone, got an email today, and we got approved on the 29th!!! after 167 days, waiting, finally!!!

Good luck to all of you guys! Indigo, don t worry, it will come soon i m sure!!

congrats. Hope you get the NVC case number soon.

I am here. Thanks for creating the thread.

Thanks to all of you........I guess I will be joining Oct 2010 thread.

Be the one to create the thread. I will join u there. I dont think i will be there for Oct and Nov at the rate my case is moving.

APPROVED..........................YOOHOOOOO

09/30/2010.....

Congrats buddy. Really happy for you. Wow u r not far behind me now. :dance:

Looks like LOTO was right.

Congrats JD Sr

Udpate: No Case number yet. They are saying they received my case on the 22nd and my case was approved on sep 16. So dont know when i will get a case number. GOD THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING.

GOT A TOUCH......09/29/2010......

Looks like our bet is going to be true........

Very nice. Good news coming soon.

Have a great trip Jesal and don't forget about us!!! I hope your trip to India happens to be a short one

Good luck everyone this week.

John- You can;t get your case number until my co-sponsor gets the papers I sent them and we review them and everything is good J/K...jeez wouldn't that suck for you! Don't worry...you will still beat me!!!!! :thumbs: :thumbs:

Teya - with the way my luck is running, I don't think I will come close to beating you. Now its offcial my wife is not getting her interview call till jan or feb. Don't even have the case number yet and it seems as if I have been tagged at every stage to "delay this file..delay this file". Those r my wife's words and I seem to b agreeing with her now. Oh well I guess gotta deal with it.

Good to hear ur case will be moving forward soon.

Received the hard copy NOA 2 dated 9/23/2010! Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences. Hope the best for the rest of April filers.

FYI, there were no update in USCIS website, neither email nor text message.

congrats!!!

I wish everyone the best of luck through NVC!

I am off to India and not coming back till i can bring the wife with me, whenever that is.

Hey man..have a safe trip and do come or email me ur phone number.

johndoe12, if they received your case, they should already have your case number. Are you checking AVR? I think if you talk to an operator, the will have the number. From a logistical point of view, I doubt a case is received without a case number being assigned. But NVC never goes with what logic dictates anyway, so I can be wrong.

i am checking the AVR and also spoke with an operator. They keep saying that to me.

Update: Still no case number. They keep repeating that "we just received you case recently and you will be notified with instructions within 6-8 weeks."

come on already

Talked to Ruth (very nice!) and I just knew it. . . . . RFE!

sorry to hear that Greg. I hope you have everything you need with you while you are or while u visited ur spouse. Good luck and keep us updated.

Yeah and if I don't get email or text than, by next week.. I should be able to see a hard copy......in my mail box....man...i m excited....

Oh and by the way those two approvals were 15th april NOA-1 date.

Keep me updated on the bet going on? If there is one

UPDATE........first of all thanks to marie_yahya...for your information on Ruth Mills. It worked out this time.

My spouse just got off from the phone after talking with Ruth. She is friendly and told us that our case is currently with one of the IO officer. and Because our case is 5+ months, so she told us that she will send out an email to that officer so that he can do all the best to speed up the work. But she clearly said she can only request, rest is in officer's hand. Not only that, she said she will follow up on this or if not, we can call her back in next two weeks. Let's hope for the best.

She also asked my wife that I can see that you have a travel plan coming up in Nov. and also Ruth mentioned my spouse's email address while on the phone, so upon asking she replied she also received our congressman's letter.....because we never mentioned that my spuose is having a travel plan in nov. while talking on the phone. She said we can expect an approval OR RFE, if not approval, in another two weeks.

So finger's crossed......now I think that touch on 20th sep in my case, means something because it looks like our case is with the officer since then.....

good to hear that something is going on. Most likely u will hear soon. When i called, i got a decision in 2 days. So good luck and hope u get something soon.

Yeah, I kinda know what you mean! Good luck tho!

@nrodgsxr - Really?? We wouldn't know...

@JD - what the $%^& is goin on with that number of yours?? has it been 2 weeks already???

@Tom: Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

No not yet. It has been 11 days since approval.
