That's the beneficiaries Alien number. It's their number for life and their identifier. Sometimes it's just called your A number (I know the drones at the airport didn't realise the A stood for alien). No matter where the beneficiary goes that is always their US Alien number and they should keep it somewhere safe. Even if they don't end up immigrating, and 50 years from now they try to immigrate and someone says "do you have an alien number" that number is STILL their alien number.

Not to be pessimistic but for example, some people's K1 relationship don't work out so they go back to their home country. If they try for another K1 they would write that Alien number where it asks for it because they should only have one (like with a SSN)

And how can I know my case number? I want to call to the consulate here in my home country but they always ask for a ''case number''

Once the case has been sent to NVC they will assign a case number. You will get a letter that says it was sent to X consulate and then indicates the case number.
