We got our NOA2 May 29. We received our case number on the phone on Jun 12. Now, I've read that after they process the visa, they assign a case number and right after that, they send it to the consulate. If this is like that, we have had our case # for 2 weeks, why is it taking so long to be "in transit"? BTW, we never got any mail from NVC. We had to called them (and do to the dreadful endless busy tone and then the -at least- half an hour wait in line).

Does anyone know how this works? I've called them to ask this, but they don't seem to know and most of them are quite rude.

I don't know about K-1 but it took them almost exactly 1 month before NOA2 to getting the IIN and case number on my application.

It can take up to 8 weeks for your case to travel from the USCIS to the NVC. Keep calling them and politely asking for the case number. After it is assigned they will send your case to the consulate or embassy where you will finish the visa process.

The thing is... I HAVE my case number. I've had it from June 16 when I called and they gave it to me. But since then it's been "at NVC" according to CEAC. But I guess it's just AP and we have to wait.
