09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

Wait for the paper copy of the NOA2 to come in the mail, and then start calling NVC every day to get your case number and see if they have sent it to the embassy. It will only stay at NVC a couple days so it should be sent rather quickly to the embassy. During this time, you need to make sure your fiancee has her birth certificate, police report, and at least 6 passport style photos. You need to start gathering the information for the I-134 form, affidavit of support. You will need a letter of employment, recent paystubs, and last 3 years tax transcripts.

When NVC has confirmed they have sent it to the embassy, wait a few days and send the embassy an email, with your case number as the subject. Ask them if they have received your petition. If they have, they will reply to you with the K-1 visa instructions. You can also at this time pay the visa fee and book the interview appointment. When the appointment is booked, have your fiancee make an appointment with one of the panel doctors to have your medical exam. My fiancee went to Dr. Dennis, he was very nice and very professional.

Also at this time you can start filling in the DS-156, DS-156k, and DS-230 forms.

Would the case number be the alien registration number?

No they are different. The case number is the number assigned to your case at the embassy. It will always start with: BGT

Don't listen to what they tell you about waiting 15 days. If they don't have your petition yet, keep calling them every day. Call them every day until you have your case number, and afterwards that they have sent your petition to the embassy. It only takes a couple days to arrive at NVC, maybe a couple days to process and then they send it off again.

They tell everyone to wait 15 days, they said that to me the first time I called them. I called the next day and the nice lady I talked to said she had the petition and even asked me if I wanted the case number. I called a couple days later and they already sent it to the embassy. Don't give up, keep bugging NVC about it until you have the information you need. YOU are in a hurry to get your interview appointment, not NVC.
