Once your NOA2 has been processed at the USCIS level, the NVC and DOS are the only way to really find out when/where your case was accepted until you (maybe) get a letter from the NVC or Packet 3 arrives.

For the NVC:

K1's are not tracked through the AVR, EVER. They are processed like an immigrant visa, but they are NOT immigrant visas, so they fall into a completely different class of their own. Therefore you need an operator. To get there:

603-334-0700

Press 1 for English

Press 5 for an operator

NVC will give you your LND case number which you will quote when you speak to DOS

For DOS:

This is where you will be able to find out if your case was received at the Embassy/Consulate. They will not see your case in their system until the NVC has logged it in and applied a case number to it.

202-663-1225

Press 1 for the Main Menu

Press 0 for an Operator

Sometimes you won't get through straight away, and when you do it can take up to, but not usually longer than, 15 minutes to get to talk to an operator. Once DOS have it in their system you will be able to call them periodically to see what stage ypu are at. Through Skype it is much much cheaper than calling the US embassy in London for updates.

Hope that helps

Also, tell your US fiance to start gathering those documents: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide (scroll down to "What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2)") as soon as she can, and to send them to you.

Please, update your timeline (if your petition was processed at California Service Center, also change it instead of Texas), and your profile information so we know you filed for a K-1 visa at CSC. It will be more convenient if you have more questions to ask on the forums in the future.

Congrats!
