re time of visa number assignment
I just called the NVC (since I figured, I might as well hear it from the horse's mouth) and asked them at what point is the visa number assigned? The person I spoke to did not answer my question directly, however, she confirmed that in my case I have already been assigned a visa number. I do not belong to the 3 nationalities that fall under the retrogression clause. My current status vis-a-vis the CP process is that my I-140 was sent to the NVC and I am currently waiting for the fee bill (i.e., I have not received packet 3 yet). The fee bill will have my visa number on it.
