Got a case # and invoice number from the NVC...now what?

[Anthony and Becky 6]

I just called the NVC and received my case # and invoice # after waiting on hold for a little over an hour. The last written correspondence we received was the NOA2. The rep I spoke to said that they had not yet sent the package to the consulate.

Is there anything that we can do in the meantime? We have collected all our documents with the exception of the medical. What are we supposed to do with the case # and invoice #?

Thanks!

Ya'll are Montreal. Once Montreal recieves the case from the NVC, then the beneficiary can either wait for packet 3 to come in the mail or go ahead and confirm montreal has the case. Once confirmed, you can go ahead with packet 3 and follow the intstructions.

After ya'll e-mail back the information required for packet 3 to montreal, you'll get packet 4 which allows you to schedule medical and interview.

I'd personally recommend getting documents closer to the interview time. I'm waiting to send my fiance all the papers on my end so they're all updated within 30 days of the interview.

Only thing the case number and invoice number are good for is stalking the CEAC site and writing it down on more papers LOL. Everything past this is almost done.

Either way here is packet 3: http://photos.state.gov/libraries/canada/303578/montreal/Packet3-K1-MTL.pdf

What is the "invoice number"? because when I called they gave me my case number.. what is the invoice number, and what is it for?

Thanks Ash, that really helped!

I'm not even sure, I had just read on here somewhere that when you start calling the NVC to get your Case #, that you should also push them to provide the Invoice number also. The person that I spoke to gave it to me right away, didn't need to "push" them for it, just don't know why I need it.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

When I'm looking at the Packet 3 requirements, one of them says:

3. Color-scanned copy of the biographic data page of the applicant’s passport

Is the applicant the petitioner or the beneficiary? Or both?

[Ash.1101 1,756]

It's the beneficiary. They're considered the applicant in this situation because they apply for the visa with the DS-160 form. First words on the page for DS-160, again done by the immigrant are "Apply For a Nonimmigrant Visa"

"Confirmation receipt with barcode number from the completed Form DS-160– one copy per each applicant, including children that are accompanying you to the USA."
