I think you get your case number when you get your NOA2. (Sorry, not home right now to check my NOA's). But you can also call NVC and try to get an update using the automated system by entering your USCIS number.

Are you asking about CR-1 or K-3?

with K-3, you can't used the automated system at NVC. You'll need to speak to someone.

The NOA-2 for I-130 tells you your petition is approved. You can get your case number from the NVC automated phone line a week or two later. It's updated on Tuesdays. (Read James's shortcuts, which you can find by using the link in Aussiewench's signature.)

hi,

how do you know that you got a case # assigned at NVC? Do they send you a mail notification?

Greets Isabel

Let me show you how to get your tax returns the easy way

aussiewench's thread for kicking butt in the NVC ('cause i'm too lazy to keep looking it up - haha)

Our DS-3032 email to the NVC

02 Jan 2006 - Married

...----===::: CR-1 :::===---...

22 May 2006 - Case # Assigned @ NVC

14 Jul 2006 - DS-230 Package Received by USC

We stopped pursuit of CR-1 to pursue K3/AOS. For us, both required the same document, we could only have one valid copy, and the K3 was moving faster.

See profile for the details up to and in between the events listed here.

...---===::: K3 :::===---...

17 May 2006 - Date NVC says petition shipped to embassy

18 May 2006 - Case # Assigned @ NVC

01 Jul 2006 - Packet "3" received from embassy

18 Jul 2006 - Medical

21 Sept 2006 - K3 Interview Date (APPROVED)

27 Sept 2006 - Received Visa

06 Oct 2006 - Arrives in the USA! Finally home together. :)

(Truncated timeline - sig too long. See profile for all details.)
