The only good it does is to speed up the process... You can call, get the number, give them some information.. then email the DS-3032, have them generate the bills, and pay them, and then send out the two AOS and IV packets.. This is a fairly single thread process (two threads each in linear order) so there is time to shed by not waiting for the mailman.

You're the petitioner and you're talking about the K-1/i-129f?

When you get the NVC case number the beneficiary can go ahead and schedule the medical. In some cases it speeds up the process since the beneficiary isn't waiting until after packet 3 arrives to have the medical done. In some countries there's also a long wait from scheduling to actual medical. It might be a time safer so the embassy will have the medical with the new case number faster and the beneficiary can report ready sooner.
