NOA2 to NVC

[Wanda and Amel 17]

Okay, now that I have come down from Cloud 9 after receiving our NOA2, I have a couple of questions. First, how does NVC notify you that they have assigned a case number? How do they notify you that the case has been forwarded to the consulate (in my case to Havana)? Do I have to wait until the consulate has our file or can I schedule the interview once I have the HAV number?

Thank you all for your comments.

You should call NVC.

That process could take 2 weeks to 1 month (NOA2 Approval to NVC) I was never Notified. I had to call NVC 1-603-334-0700. Then add some more time. The National Visa Center will inform you of a Case # and when it was sent to that Country.

Have your NOA2 Case Number and Information ( Birthdates, Etc) It will be a live Operator and give you a Case Number for that Country.

I sent an email to: NVCINQUIRY@state.gov giving them petitioner name/beneficiary name and both of our dates of birth. I asked them for the case #. I used our WAC# in the subject line (WAC will be different for you since your case is in Vermont). It took them nine days to email me back with the case HAV#. Still quicker than waiting for the notice in the mail.
