From my link:

Checking on your embassy case number: As of late its taking upwards of 8 weeks for NVC to receive your file from USCIS after you receive the NOA2, then for NVC to get your file in their system and get the MNL # from USEM. Call after 4:45 PM eastern time for shorter wait times. K1's are not tracked through the AVR, ever. They are processed like an immigrant visa, but they are NOT immigrant visas, so they fall into a completely different class of their own. Therefore you need an operator.

To get there: 1-603-334-0700 Operator assistance is available Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 12:00 AM (Eastern Time)

Press 1 for English
Press 5 for an operator

Hi everyone,

It is really true that you have to wait at least 30 minutes before someone would answer your call from the NVC. Great patience is a requirement. At first, I was thinking that there is a possibility of delays since I have read someone's post about ""glitch crashes visa operations." Fortunately, I was able to get my MNL today. Since I was so excited to give the news to my fiancé, that I forgot to ask if the approved petition has left NVC. How important it is to know it? I would like to ask what have you written as your “priority date”? I saw this from the website where you can set up for appointments. Neither NOA1 nor NOA2 has that information. What should I write then?

Thank you. The members here have been very helpful.

If you have a MNL number they have your application, in the system. Hard copy to follow If I am not mistaken we set an appointment within a day of getting it. At the time, the prevailing wisdom was you could not set an appointment until they had your file in hand. Rock and roll. I remember those days .
