Hello, everybody! Good news...our I-130 and I-129f have been approved!

What's the best way to find out when NVC has assigned a case number?

Thanks in advance for your help!

What's the best way to find out when NVC has assigned a case number?

A few days after having my I-129f approved, I received a letter from NVC telling me my case number and when my petition would be sent to Paraguay. I think after this point the main form of communication is snail mail and we can't check our status online anymore.

Automated Voice Response Service

So your I-130 petition has been approved and forwarded to NVC

Now you are wanting to know if it has been received and a case number assigned

You can use your CIS (NOA) receipt number from your approval to find out.

On calling the NVC automated voice response number (603) 334-0700 you will.... press 1 for English press 2 for Spanish

press 1 for information about your immigrant visa

It will then ask you if you know your CIS receipt number.....press 1

(Once you have a case number you can use this.....press 2)

You then follow the instructions to key in your number.

If will then tell you if NVC has received the petition, and assigned a number.

This automated service is available 24/7.

Once you have your case number you can call them at any time to hear any updates on your case, using either the NVC case number or your CIS (NOA) receipt number.

Hope this all assists some.

Oops...I think I might have answered my own question. If anyone knows how to get the NOA receipt number before it arrives snail mail, let me know!

It's on the first NOA1 form you received a long time ago. (The I-797.)

Congrats on your approval!!
