If you got NOA2 13 days ago you should call, they could have a case # for you.


I've been calling twice a day since Monday (when they told me my case arrived). This morning (at like 7:30 AM) they told me "we're entering your case now, so I can't tell you anything more, it's unavailable." He couldn't even tell me the 10-20 days standard message. I'M SO EXCITED but nervous, and I don't want to call too soon! LOL :)

I just wanna hear case complete then I promise I will never call them again. :crying: :whistle:

If I have to give beneficiary's name and DOB, petitioner's name and DOB, emails and phone numbers one more time I might just go nuts. I need to stop calling NVC, it's driving me insane. :rofl:


LOL!!! I would give anything for them to ask me that stuff :P Wanna trade places? :innocent:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2012

Very good chance you could get your case number by the end of the day ;) Just call again later in the afternoon or evening. If you get it today, then my case number prediction was off. I predicted you'd get it tomorrow Posted Image


LOL I'll keep you posted - want to see if you were right! :) Won't be calling again until about 5:30 PM my time, to give them time to enter my case AND to give me time to get home and relax a bit before a busy evening. That should be plenty of time to see what's up!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2012
Ooooh yeah...just called NVC and was informed my case is being entered into the system so they can't even tell me 10-20 days lol. Wonder if that means case number tonight? :)
Trav&ShellFemaleCanada2012-03-15 07:35:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2012

I called today as well. At least this lady did not tell me to call back in 20 days! She said I should give them a few days to get the case in the system. So I say we should have our numbers by Friday....but of course we'll still be calling ever few hours until then! :whistle:


Exactly! I've been calling first thing in the morning in case anything updated overnight, and then again by 7 PM, just to give them a day to get things in the system if needed. Really hoping we start hearing more soon, so we can get moving :)

Yeah, I called first thing this morning. Very nice lady, but told me to "give them some time." No set number of days. That's OK. I'll call again this evening, and be hopeful! All we can do is be hopeful and keep moving forward, right? When did you call?

No no, Piglet is still there...LOL...he picks up your call and tells you to pick english or spanish. Don't fear :) He also pops up in the hold music :)

why not just talk straight to an Operator? i know there likely a chance that "MR. PERSONALITY" might pickup the call. :rofl:


You know...back in the day, I believe a band named Gillette made a song called Mr. Personality. When people call that operator Mr Personality, that song pops in my head :)

Nothing to lose but about 5 minutes. Maybe we can annoy them as much as we're annoyed when they tell is to call back I'm EXACTLY 10 to 15 days!


Good point! "yeah, we've waited that long already. Hand over the case number!" :)

"All of our operators are still busy, we apologize for the delay. We will be with you as soon as possible"

"Thank you for calling, our staff is working hard to take your call next!"

"Because of the personal attention given to every caller, you may experience a brief delay, please be patient and hold the line."

"Your call is very important to us. Please continue to hold."

NVC operator just confirmed that they received both our cases today (NOA2 on March 2, 2012). Like other posters with the same NOA2 date i'm hoping to get a case number tomorrow :)


Woo hoo! It's a case received party up in here! :D Congrats :)

Quick question that I haven't seen anybody ask lately: Did NVC get rid of their AVR (Automated Voice Response) System? ... I remember you could call at anytime (24/7) and the AVR would work, but now it doesn't even come up. Just curious :blush:


I think you may be at least temporarily right. I haven't gotten the avr option since last week! It's ok, only cranky op so far has been miss cranky britches this morning...but maybe she just hasn't talked to Piglet in a while, he'd turn her frown upside down! :)

AVR is still down at NVC. I had about a 10 minute wait.

The NVC lady said they have received our case. She asked for the beneficiaries name and birth date then stopped herself. She said our case is there, we don't have a case number yet, and to allow 10 days for it to be entered in the computer.

Ya, like I'm going to wait 10 days...


lol that's more like "call us tomorrow and every day till we tell you something!"

If Staples can't do it, ask friends or family if they have a color scanner. All in one printers are a dime a dozen now a days, someone is bound to have one. Hubby asked one of his friends to work to use his and the guy said "oh I have a spare one in the closet, you can have it!" :thumbs: Now he doesn't have to scan the rest of the stuff from work :)

If that all fails, Future Shop usually has cheap all in one printers. If you go that route, make sure it comes with a USB cable some don't.


WOW...i forgot to ask family! :( I'm such a bad niece, lol...maybe it's time to call my aunt up :) My printer does the trick but no scanning capabilities. Boo!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2012

I know the Bureau en Gros (Staples, but Quebec version Posted Image) in the town I used to live in had scanners. Not sure if they were in color, but always worth a try.

Perhaps a library or even a school might have color scanners too (in case Staples doesn't work out).


OO a library - good call! I know Staples will probably have scanners which means they should be able to email me the document...worst case, I buy a disc from them. big deal, those will be cheap :)
Trav&ShellFemaleCanada2012-03-12 11:09:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2012

Yes, they have to be in color. Look at the first bullet here: http://travel.state....toreq_5334.html

There's no color scanner at like Staples or something? Or a pharmacy?


That's what I figured. Not sure about the color scanners but will check tomorrow (yay sick day! Means more chances to call NVC lol :) ). You figure Staples? There's a staples right near where I work...will go there first!

Hey...just thought of a question. When scanning passport pics for electronic processing, do they have to be color scans? I'm having trouble finding a color scanner that I can use to send the documents to myself...you'd think in this city they'd have something like that...
