Seems today has been a good day all round! I just got off the phone with NVC, talked with the nicest lady there (her name might have been Riley, or something like that? Sounded like she had a cold so I didn't quite understand her) and we got our case number and IIN! Woo hoo! She also gave me a Beneficiary ID number - what is it and will we ever need it?

Congrats to everyone else who received good news as well!!

congratulations on your first step to nvc! I don't think we use that number but it is important! :)

Grats!!! kicking.gifkicking.gif When's your POE going to be?

Seems today has been a good day all round! I just got off the phone with NVC, talked with the nicest lady there (her name might have been Riley, or something like that? Sounded like she had a cold so I didn't quite understand her) and we got our case number and IIN! Woo hoo! She also gave me a Beneficiary ID number - what is it and will we ever need it?

Congrats to everyone else who received good news as well!!

Grats! First April NOA2 date I've seen to get a case number.

The beneficiary ID number is only used for online forms. Scotland is not an eligible country for this, so you can disregard this number as you'll never use it.

Interview date June 11 @ 8:30am received 4:03pm. One day before hubby's birthday.

/takes a deep breath.

Hi-

Our IV invoice showed up as Paid today on the NVC portal and we sent the IV paperwork overnight delivery, so the NVC should get it tomorrow by noon. We are hoping we will be "case complete" early next week. Does anybody know if we are in time to get a June interview? The interview will be at the London Embassy.

Thanks! Lori & Dean
