how do we know we are assigned case no. from NVC?

[Me and my wife 9]

My case has been shipped from TSC to NVC on friday. How to know that my case has been assigned a NVC case number? I would appreciate for any help. Thanks

By calling or emailing NVC or you will receive a letter in the mail from NVC

To reach the National Visa Center (Immigrant visa inquiries, including assistance regarding the new DS-260 Online Immigrant Visa Application) call: 603-334-0700 or e-mail: NVCINQUIRY@state.gov.

If you email them, you need to provide Name/DOB of petitioner and beneficiary as well as USCIS file number.

give it a few more days and call NVC. You can use your USCIS case number to get your NVC case number

Good luck

Yes

The automated system tracks IR-1 and CR-1 immigrant visas, but I suspect an email 2 weeks after USCIS approval will get you this faster than the automated phone message.

Would you please explain more clearly what does that mean? who do we get email from? Is it NVC or USCIS? Thanks

You write and send email to NVC at the address in my first post, they will then respond with status.

Automated system at NVC is only a phone answering system, you call it, enter file number and it tells you case number and status.

There is no automated email system at NVC and once it leaves USCIS they wont track or send you any information with regards to case status at NVC or beyond.

Two different departments of the US government. USCIS it part of DHS (Department of Homeland Security), NVC is part of DOS (Department Of State)
