I'm just off the phone with a woman at the NVC (after having been put on hold for nearly half an hour) I have learned that my petition was mailed off to Dublin on Friday, (YAY!) but I stupidly forgot to ask for a case number. (I assume I have one, since the petition has already been forwarded.)

So my question is ... what exactly do I need the NVC case number for, if anything? Do I have to call back and get it, or is it not really important?

Sorry - this is probably a stupid question ... I just don't want to wait around another half an hour waiting for someone to answer my call if I don't have to. Thanks guys! :)

It is pretty important, I would call back and get it.

The NVC case number is the identifier for your case. You will need it when you contact your embassy,NVC, Department of States and etc.

However, if you choose to just wait for the instructions from the Embassy, you probably won't need it. If you need to inquire about your case, you will need it.

Yea, I guess I'd better call them back then. I just wasn't sure what It was needed for ... but it seems like a pretty important thing to have. Thanks :)

You said they told you it was shipped Friday? This is most likely your package that was picked up by DHL today.

Hi,

We just received our case number today from NVC, they told us they will send a letter to the petitioner saying it has been sent to the embassy, and i assume that will include the case num. we did get ours over the phone, Irish ones begin DBL2012XXXXXX, you would need this if you need to email the embassy, however Dublin does not allow you to call and schedule your interview they will send you Package 3 and when you send back the letter of readiness (case number required on that) they will then send you a date. I agree you should call back if you have not already and get it, better to have it than not....just in case!!|! Best of Luck, keep us posted on progress........good.gif

After reading your post, I decided that I'd wait until Friday to call back in case I got a letter with my case number on it. Well, I got it this morning - so now I don't have to call back!

Thanks guys - and I'll be sure to keep you all updated!
