I got a letter from state department that my case was received by NVC and is going to be forwarded in one week to the embassy. The letter has a case number listed in it. But when i call the automated number, the case number is missing. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

I don't think that you have anything to worry about. Just call the Department of State tomorrow and give them the new case number when you speak to someone.

Calling won't help. Be patient. You will get a letter from the Embassy soon.

Good luck.

I know 2 years ago for K-1 visas they did not update the automated system. I called and called and our number never showed. Finally spoke to a real person and they explained do not put these numbers in the system.

Be calm, letter from the embassy will come soon.

Good luck

That is correct - the numbers do not get into the system that is online. However once Manila has sent you the letter - the call center will be able tp track via the MNL number.

Our experience was as follows:

08/03/2009 NVC Letter advising the I-129F is approved and will be sent to the embassy.

08/22/2009 Manila time Air21 Delivers the WRONG packet to Fiancee in Manila - left unopened

So that was 19 days. We have heard of a number of miss-sends and so I guess if you don't have a letter after 30 days call the call center - not the embassy - and ask regarding the number.

Thank you with this information. I was a little worried before but I feel better now. I will check with the embassy within 30 days to see if they received it or not.

cheers, Farid

Call NVC and speak to a CSR... the K1 cases are not in the system and you must talk to someone to get a real answer... The automated system will tell you not in system... you can also cal DOS and ask them if the case is at the consulate yet.. 202-663-1225
