Agreed 100%! Just be upfront and kind of pushy you are looking for your case number. We called a few times too until we got someone who found it for us.

Pushy definitely helps! And, not that i advocate for one government agency over another, but i did happen to say to the lady that it was so delightful to deal with them after dealing with TSC. She actually said to me "That's so nice, what can i do for you honey?".

Just reporting that I received the offical I-797 in the mail. Two things jumped out to me: 1. It says "listed consulate" but there is none. 2. A few paragraphs but nothing about what the next steps

Hello everybody

I saw that many of you may already have completed the DS-160.. My question is : Do we really need the invoice number and beneficiary number ? And if so, what are they for ?

I have seen that we need those number only for complete an another form DS-260 and not DS-160.. If somebody can explain to me I will be grateful thank you !

Cheers :)

Nobody ?

Please I really need to know if I need to get the Invoice number and beneficiary number.. I'm about to complete DS-160 and it will be great if somebody could explain to me !!

Quick question guys :) received my NOA 2 on mail today! In the receipt it says " we have sent the original application to the Department of State" , meanwhile when I check the status online it says "Case Aproved"! It does not show that it was sent.

How do I know if it was sent or no?

It is actually not sent until USCIS sends you notification (or sometimes they don't and it just shows up on the website as case has been sent to dept of state) :)

That language is totally confusing on the NOA 2!!

What number are you talking about? We did the ds-160 like two weeks ago but I don't remember seeing invoice number? Are you referring to the application number and the case number given from the NVC? Those are the only ones I remember of them asking.

Are you confusing the D160 form with the ustraveldocs form? We did get ask a receipt number so that we could schedule the interview..

I have seen a lot of people applying for the K1 visa saying they need to call NVC to get the case number, the invoice number and the beneficiary number.. But I have made some research and those numbers appear to be only asked for paying the visa fees for the CR1 visa (those already married) That's why I don't understand why K1 visa people need those number !! I thought maybe I was missing a point ..

But if all of you say that we only need the SRCxxxxxxx number and the embassy/consulate number to complete the DS160 and schedule the interview It's perfectly fine to me I just was wondering if we really need to call NVC for that. Apparently no, so everything is fine :D

Yeah, I don't get it either. I guess it makes people feel better that their case is moving though.

The DS-160 just needs the SRC number. Your medical (at least in Vietnam) *does* need your case number though. I think that's the only place I've run into so far where I've needed it.

Agree. the DS-160 for sure. I know some embassies let you pay right away and others you have to wait until they schedule the interview, though.

Yeah, for Vietnam, you have to pay first (a cash deposit into an HSBC account....seriously...) to schedule the appointment.
