I called NVC and they gave me the case number and the Invoice number.  She said my case is being sent to London today.  I tried to put my case into the non-immigrant part of the website and it said invalid case.  When i tried immigrant, it said "Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center. "  what does that mean??    I thought my fiance sets up the interview date?  So confused.

Each country works differently as ot how the interview and all is set up. In general a lot of the statements you read are "generic" or general statements. Continue on as needed by setting your interview date.

Also, for some weird reason your case starts as an immigrant case before switching to non-immigrant status. In fact, that is one of the ways that you know your case is fully approved (such as after an RFE) is when your case switches from Immigrant to Non-immigrant and you get a new case date.

The status will soon change from immigrant to non immigrant. The "Your interview date was provided to you.." part is just a standard, generic part of the message that everyone sees. Once your approved petition is at the London Embassy, your fiance will be contacted/send package 3. Your fiance can book his interview as soon as the system let's him.
