How do I find out when the consulate recieves papers from NVC?

[C'est Luc 0]

I think you are misunderstanding. I think that the date you are trying to use is the date that your NOA2 was approved. Take the time to review the K-1 flow chart (link) carefully next to step 5 for the phone number of the National Visa Center (NVC). NVC is where your approved K-1 documents go before going to the consulate or embassy of where your fiance lives. Call NVC about a week or two after you received your NOA2. You can inquire about the date they received your case document and what date was it shipped to the designated embassy or consulate. Once you have the date it was shipped then you can use the DHL site.

I hope this clarifies everything for you.

Good luck

It really does. Thank so much!

Glad you found it!

Yeah, I got a letter from NVC stating that they'd received my petition and were forwarding it to the consulate. Also had the HCM case number on it. That was 3 years ago, but I presume they still send those letters. I didn't wait for the letter, and just called NVC about a week or so after the status was updated on the USCIS site. I was a little surprised when the letter came and the date on the letter indicating when they sent the petition the consulate was different from the date the NVC operator told me over the phone.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I will definitely keep an eye out for the dates on that letter and the date I was given. Hopefully I was given the exact date that it was sent. I will get back to you about this and let you know if both dates matched in my case.

Thanks again

I am glad I was able to. We are all in the same boat.
