Hello everyone,

I have a question, I received my NOA2 on Jan. 13th (so happy that part is done!), and also, am I suppose to wait for a letter from the NVC on my part as the petitioner?

I am confuse on what to do next after the NOA2. I read on several posts that it is recommended to call the NVC to get a case number and register for the CEAC?

Furthermore, my fiance over at the Netherlands received a letter today from the Amsterdam US Consulate regarding the steps of the K1 Visa process (Packet 3).

So does that mean, there is NO any sort of letter mailed to me from the NVC and/or call them for a case number?

I hope you guys can help answer my questions and guide me through this because I am getting confuse on what to do next on my part here.

Thanks a bunch!!

You would usually get a letter in the mail from the NVC that provides your case number. You can still call the NVC [603-334-0700] to get the case number and track your case status on the CEAC website here with the NVC case number (not your USCIS case number): https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx (select immigrant visa). Wait times are shortest in the early morning and just before closing. Alternatively, the case number might be on the letter your fiance received from the US consulate (mine was).

I'm not sure of the post-NOA2 process for your consulate so I'll leave that for someone else to answer.

Congrats on your NOA2! :)

I appreciate all your reponses and best wishes! I didn't expect this so soon but I am happy that so far our K1 Visa journey is going smoothly.

Kitthekat, I sure hope to get that letter from the NVC but if not, or not anytime soon, I will go ask my fiance about the case number on his letter. That way I can have that with me (peace of mind) and for any furture case statuses.

But If he does not have the case number on the letter, then I will give NVC a call biggrin.png

Thanks again for the help and best of luck to everyone else!!

Sounds like you are good to go.

His case# begins with AMS and he does not have to wait for you to receive the letter from NVC.

Agree !! :thumbs:
