I was just wondering how will someone know if the case has reached the NVC. Can we still use the same method as for NOA2, i mean the touch thing. Thanks in advance.

You'll have to call NVC, give them your NOA number and they'll give you the new case number. You'll use to find out when they send it to the consulate.

You must call them during working hours and speak to an operator. You will need your "Receipt Number" from any of your NOA's. They will also want to know your fiancee's name and DOB. If they have your case, they will then give you the NVC Case Number which will be used by the consulate they will send your case too, via DHL.

From their site:

"Petitions may remain at NVC for several months or for many years depending on the visa category and country of birth of the visa applicant. When an applicant's case is about to become current (a visa number is likely to be available within the year), the petition is forwarded to the appropriate U.S. embassy or consulate overseas. If an applicant is adjusting status in the U.S., the case will be forwarded to the appropriate CIS office upon request by that office.

NVC receives thousands of telephone and written inquiries from applicants, petitioners, congressional offices, U.S. embassies and consulates, CIS offices and the White House. An automated recorded message system can answer many of these inquiries 24 hours a day, seven days a week (603 334-0700). Operators are available to respond to more difficult inquiries from 7:30 AM to 12:30 AM (EST) Monday through Friday. Status of case information and access to an operator can only be provided by entering your NVC case number or CIS receipt number on a touch-tone telephone. Case inquiries can also be made via email at NVCINQUIRY@state.gov. NVC only has information on petitions it has received."

That information pertains to visas other than K-1 visas. With K-1 visas, all they do is enter them into their system and send them to the appropriate consulate. They will not be ther for several months. If a K-1 case doesn't get sent out in less than a copule of weeks, it's time to get concerned.

I phoned the NVC today and spoke to a very kind woman... they had no record of our case yet and suggested that I phone back on Tuesday. She said that I-129Fs are processed quickly.. they are only held long enough to be entered into their syste.
