Well, the next step, is USCIS will send your case to NVC (National Visa Center) and they enter it into their system and create a case number for you. At this stage they send it to the embassy that will be handling your case. The timeline for this can vary. If you were approved at VSC or CSC, your case will likely be at NVC within about 2 weeks (although they say it can take up to 15 business days). If you got transferred to Texas, they seem to be taking up to 4 weeks to transfer files to NVC for some reason.

After waiting a week or so, you can start calling NVC for your case number. Here's the contact information:

By Phone

Customer Service Representatives are available to respond to case inquiries.

Telephone number: (603) 334-0700

Hours: Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM (Eastern Time)

You must include the following information to receive a case specific response:

• Your NVC Case Number or USCIS receipt number
• The applicant’s name and date of birth and the petitioner’s name and date of birth
• If you are an attorney, include the name of the law office requesting the information

Note: This service requires the use of a touch-tone telephone.

Once you've got a case number from NVC, you can keep track of your case here:

https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

To use this page to check your status, you will select the IMMIGRANT VISA selection from the drop down menu (yes K-1 is non immigrant but you can only search your case number under immigrant) and then enter the case number including the 3 letters at the beginning which is for your specific embassy and do NOT put in any spaces.

Once you get a number, NVC usually sends out the case to the embassy within a few days. I don't know how long it takes to get to your embassy.

At this point, everything becomes embassy specific For information regarding your embassy, I recommend you check out the Regional Forum for India. There will be people there who are and who have gone through this already to help you with specific answers for your country. Here's the link for that forum

Hope this answers most of your questions. Best of luck
