Their attorney is from the US her petitioner called the NVC but cannot get a hold. She cannot contact USCIS because her papers is in NVC now but the problem is about the case # and the invoice # that their attorney gave to them they cannot check it online.

Anyone can help her?

If the attorney's office does not work with you to provide the correct case number, then you can always try to contact USCIS directly. I have no idea how much they will help you, though.

You are paying for this attorney's services, so you have every right to call them up and ask for their assistance. I can't tell from your post if the attorney is making an honest mistake or being deliberately unhelpful. How long were you to retain the lawyer? Was the agreement meant that the attorney would take care of the process until the US citizen's spouse enters the US or just submit the paperwork?

You have to be a little proactive here. Have the US citizen (it sounds like it's the husband?) contact the attorney's office and politely explain the problem. If he's being put off repeatedly have him remind the office that he paid for their services. If he thinks that he got scammed (ie, the attorney took his money and sent him a fake case #), then he can state he'll be lodging a complaint with the state bar where the attorney practices.

Edit: I'm not sure what proof they have that their CR-1/IR-1 has been approved if they do not the correct case #. Do they know only because the attorney said so? It seems like they never got a copy of an approval letter since the case # should be on it.

P.S. When I say "you", I am referring to your friend. I just switched to "you" for convenience's sake.

Their case is already in the NVC they got approved last September 17, 2008. Imagine? and they did not hear anything from their attorney since they passed the papers like the DS-230, I-864, W'2 and the $ 400 to the attorney last october 10

You have the case number, so just call the NVC. It sometimes takes along time to get through. Or you can call in the morning or late in the evening.
