Sent to London, what do I do with this number?

[amykathleen2005 441]

I just called NVC hoping to hear that my K1 had arrived there safe and sound, but when I called the lady said not only had it arrived, but it was on its way to London. She gave me the following number: LND2009764***. What does it mean? Can I do anything with it? She didn't say when the petition had left NVC so I don't know what date to put in my timeline....maybe I should call back.

This seems so quick, we were only approved on the 16th. Can it be this fast?

You can call back to find out when the petition left NVC, they will give you an exact date. The LND # is your case # for all references/communication regarding your case at the embassy in London. You will no longer be using the WAC/EAC #, the LND # will be your case # at the US Embassy in London and for all procedures done there regarding your case. Think of it as your new case #.

Good luck!

Your case number is based on the Embassy that will handle it and the day that NVC scanned it into their system. LND is because you're at the London Embassy, 20009 is the year of your case. The 764 represents the ordinal date in the year that your petition was scanned into their system + 500. The 264th day of the year was Sept. 21, so that's when they scanned your case into the system. The last three digits represent the order your case was scanned in that day. For example, if those last three digits are 076, yours was the 76th case scanned in that day. There's not much you can do with the info, but it sounds like your case will be in London soon! Congratulations!

By the way, it was so fast at NVC because for K-1 visas, they just touch it and pass it on to the Embassy, where they do the final processing. My wife and I just went through CR-1 processing at NVC, which is a much longer process.
