Congrulations on the approval (F)... It takes around 7 to 10 days after USCIS has transferred your case to NVC... Keep calling NVC and you might get your case number once it has generated. Also ask for electronic pin number so you can pay your AOS fee and IV fee online... That saves your time in the regular snail mail process...

Good Luck.. :thumbs:

Hi, congratulations on your case approval..

Just like Bani said, keep calling NVC to find out if they already generate a case # for you. Once they generate it, give them your and your spouse's email address so everything will go faster. Don't forget to read Lingche shortcut, here's the link: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/...he_NVC_ShortCut

Good luck!
