Case Number for Medical?

[Michael+Tracie 0]

I'm in that in-between place where my K1 application has arrived in Vancouver and the package 3 has been sent (confirmed with the consulate by e-mail). While I wait for the mail to slowly travel the 70KM between the consulate and me (been 6 days so far), I'd like to move along and book my medical. I'm hoping for a quick turn around while things are slow (right now, medicals are booking at 1-2 weeks and interviews are at 2-3 weeks).

Before I can book my medical though, I need my "Case Number." Now, my question is: is the case number my NVC number or is it a new, local Vancouver consulate number that I won't see until I actually get my P3 in the mail?

Could someone who has been through the Vancouver system clear this up for me?

Thanks so much!

When you recieve your packet 3 in the mail, (I believe it is the cover pg), it will have a case number at the top of it, which is newly assigned from the Vancouver Consulate. I went through Montreal and mine started with MTL, so yours will prolly start with V. It is this cover page with your case number that you'll have to bring to the medical.

Good luck.

I thought that might be the case

Oh well, I guess I have no choice but to wait for the snail-mail.

Thanks for the quick response though!

did your American fiance get a letter from the NVC in the mail. he should have after your NOA2 saying the NVC was sending your approved petition to your consulate. anyway, if he did your case number will be on it. my fiance got the letter and about a week and a half later i got packet 3.

Montreal ones start with MTL , i can only assume Vancouver ones start with some form of abbreviation.

hope this helps

Your NVC number is the number that the consulate uses.

Its the VAN case number that is on your letter from NVC. No new case number.

Thanks Jauque and Minnew! That's great news. I was worried I had become yet another number. lol

I'll go ahead and book my medical right away!

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this! lol I am at the same stage... well, actually a bit behind. My case hasn't reached Montreal. However, I called NVC today and found out they have my case, and I've got my MTL case #, so I can book my medical too now!! OMG!!!! I'm scared! It's happening! haha
