November K1 filers

[Rhaenerys 16]

My fiance called NVC today - We got our case number! Our file has not been sent to the consulate yet, but I was thinking - instead of trying to get through to NVC to find out when it gets sent out, do you think its worth just calling the DOS instead in about a week? Is it easier to get them on the phone, or is it about the same in terms of busy signals and hold wait times?

You are my hero andymac, that gives me hope. I'm calling tomorrow! We'll see if ours were on the same truck! I'm excited I don't know about the DOS, but do keep us posted on what you find out.

Okay.. I might have spoken a bit too soon.. I just got off the phone with NVC (I actually hadn't spoken to them since last week) and we FINALLY got our case #!!!! Totally stoked!!! YIPPIE!!!!

Hi Romet,

Sorry to bother you but I really need help for the NVC number, it's almost 2 weeks since my fiancé received our NOA2.. And I have a lot of crickets lol! I was reading another thread last night and there are cases thier I-29f didn't reach NVC and they keep calling but they keep saying they didn't received IT yet or wait and wait! I googled NVC's number but I just want to make it sure from your experience. Thank you for your help ?

I hope they have yours too! Is the NVC open on Saturdays?

I just remembered reading that you can check your status using your Case Number online - a quick visajourney search turned up this link:

Posted here again for future reference

Darn, no they aren't. I'll call Monday then, as I'm driving down to visit my fiance tonight.

Thanks for the link, that's very useful!

Edited because the forum edits out the mildest of dirty words, apparently!

Congrat! This give me hope, my NOA 2 is exactly 1week after your. I'll call them on Tuesday and hopefully they'll have our packet. BTW Monday is a federal holiday, MLK day, so I doubt NVC will be opening.

Darn to that too! Guess I need to be really patient!

Well my case got to NVC on the 14th, so if yours is there, maybe by the time you call, both of our cases will have already left for the consulate! hahaha

Apparently DOS won't talk to you anymore, however you can just type your case number into the immigration section on CEAC and it will tell you if it's in transit or at the embassy

My NVC case number isn't pulling up on the CEAC website. I got the case number and an invoice number.

Maybe it will work in a couple of days!

[andymack 19]

How did you get the invoice number? Were we supposed to ask for that too when we talked to NVC?

I was wondering about this too. I'm not sure how spain will be but I'm going to email the moroccan consulate and ask whether the short version or if they need the detailed version. My SO is being a little bit of a pain and says he doesn't know of the detailed version, so I figured I will just ask the consulate myself

I never got one either...

I have the same question. The invoice number is something only the NVC can assign, correct? So we're talking about a different number from the Receipt Number on the NOA2?
