I just got by NOA2, and my excitement turned to confusion when tackling the steps left for us to get the K-1. I see alot of timelines where people are like "oh yeah i just emailed the NVC for expedited processing and they did it" ...is this real? How do you just email them? And does requesting expedited processing work? Also what number do you call to get the case number?

No you cant just call and ask for an expedite, you need to have proper documentation to support the reason for expedite. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=16a6b1be1ce85210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

NVC phone number is : (603) 334-0700

After NOA 2, a week later we wrote to NVC at NVCInquiry@state.go with the petitioner's name, case number and birthday. Also we included the beneficiary name (my name ) and my birthday.

They replied three days later with the BGT number, the case number used for the k1 appointment. Then we contacted the embassy a week later and they wrote when the case arrived at the embassy. All the tracking from that point was done with the BGT number like BGTXXXXXXXX where X are numbers, BGT stands for Bogota. So yours should be different.

Good luck on your journey!!

Don't know about expediting at the NVC, but they don't hold it for more than a couple of weeks anyways normally. As for the phone numbers, read this post:
