We're in Argentina and did the medical last week in Buenos Aires, even though we do not yet have an NVC number or packet 3 from the embassy. The doctor's office said they could do everything required without them. We have the sealed envelope waiting for our interview appointment and got all necessary vaccinations also.

Now if we could just get that interview appointment... <sigh>

We finally called the NVC on Feb. 6, were given our BNS number and told our case had been forwarded to the Buenos Aires consulate on Feb. 3. We've still not gotten an email or letter from the NVC however.

You won't get anything from NVC. Definitely not an e-mail, and probably not a letter in the regular mail.

Use the casr numbet given to u by NVC. Go to ceac then choose immigrant type your case number. It will show any of the three first is "at NVC" it means your file still at NVC. Second "in TRANSIT" meaning your file is on the wayto your embassy. And third is "READY" meaning your file already received by your embassy.

Thank you very much.

We haven't got the NOA2 hard copy yet, but we will anytime soon. I was just wondering how things work after that.

By getting your NVC number (by calling NVC). The embassy will also contact you once it has received the file. In some places, the embassy contacts the beneficiary via regular mail, while in some other countries it is via e-mail to the petitioner. I recommend looking at the Argentina info page on here to find out what happens in Argentina.
