I don't think they contact you. The next you'll hear is from your local consulate. You can call the NVC if you want and see how far along they are, but expect a couple of weeks for them to do their part in forwarding on.

wrong, the NVC will contact when they receive the case an assign a case number. It takes anywhere from 2 weeks to a month to hear from them. To the OP, you can call the NVC and ask if they have received your case, but don;t be surprised if they haven;t yet. Good luck

Well, I did say "I don't think" not "I know". That's good to know in future. Do they contact via email or post?

FWIW, the k1 flowchart does not mention that the NVC will make contact, but that you should call them if you want to know: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1flow

the flowchart is just a chart, it is just guidelines to follow. they will contact via email

You will get a letter from NVC when they forward your case to the consulate. Expect it to take 2-8 weeks.
