Hi everyone - maybe I've just done too much reading & it's all running together......but when do we get a case number that we can check online? After which step?

We have a letter from USCIS saying that they have received our I-130, along with a credit card receipt for our payment. We haven't been waiting terribly long, but I'm an impatient person :)

If you could tell me at which stage of the process I can start following our paperwork online you'd do me (and my poor husband) a favor! Thanks

You should get a number when you receive your NOA1. it sounds like you should be getting it very soon.. I just got mine last week!! Best of luck!

If you are filing DCF, you can't use the USCIS website to track your case, as everything is handled by the embassy.

where did you sent the I-130 packet to ? (the city in the address)

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

We are filing DCF through Frankfurt......so I guess I don't need to concern myself with a case number.

Thanks for your responses!

There's a particular intake process for the DS-230. I don't know what it is, but I'm hoping it's listed on the IV Unit's web portal for Frankfurt.
