How do you find out your case number after you find out your NOA2 has been approved?

You have to wait a little bit. My NOA2 was sent to NVC on Feb 25th (even though it was approved on Feb 20th). And I called every other day till early March-ish was when the guy on the phone gave me my CEAC case number. Call this number: 603 334-0700

You will usually have to wait an average of 15-20 minutes till you get on hold with an agent! Good luck.
