Don't I have a case number?

[MollyDan 0]

Seems very strange. I would like to check the status of my case -- more specifically, I would like to know whether they have mailed me an

Appointment Package or not. (I received a letter of Approval for my I-130 last week.) But on the letter of Approval, there seems to be no

case number! It only shows: Name of Beneficiary, Classification, File number (with just the letter A), Date Petition Filed, and Date of

Approval of Petition. Why isn't there any case number?

I'm afraid that they might mail me an Appointment Package and the thing might get lost on its way to me!! I read somewhere on these forums that that happened to somebody.

If you can advise, I do thank you very much!

Good luck to everybody on their own visa journeys

Hi Molly! I am a DCF filer at the London Embassy. We received our first letter - NOA1 - on August 19 August having filed it on 9 July 2012. There was no case number on that and the letter was sent from the Embassy. Then we received the second letter (NOA2) which was mailed on 7 September from the American Consulate in London and this letter gave us the case number. Once we had the case number, we were able to book me a medical examination appointment and send off the the remaining forms. Hope this helps! It is such a worrying time, this, isn't it?

Same boat here- i-130 approval letter last week but with blank case number....waiting on next letter from consulate with case number so I can book my medical.

Resigned to just waiting, unless anyone knows a way of obtaining a case number quicker? Will they give it by email or phone?

Hi there, thanks for your reply! Well, this very same day I received my Appointment Package. And guess what? It was an online package! Came by email!! So I now have all the instructions etc. for the next step, plus a case number, of course. Hope yours will come soon too!

Hi, thanks for your reply! Yes, there are so many things to remember, and so much at stake if mistakes are made. Good news for me: my appointment package came today in an online format! So I now have a case number and all the materials relevant to the next step! How are things going for you?

Hello again! I have my interview on 9 November, 7 weeks after my medical. I THINK I have all the paperwork ready but my goodness it's enough to drive you insane, reading the small print over and over again and checking and double checking when so much is at stake. I was helped so much by people on here - could not have got to this stage without them!
