How do I know my case left NVC?

[Leo1967 5]

Besides calling the NVC and waiting forever for a rep is there a way if our case left the NVC?  I know our case was received on July 6 and I was given a case number.  I haven't received a letter with instructions though by reading the forums I know what I need to gather and I have everything ready except the medical examination because I don't know where my fiancee is supposed to go.  I did access the NVC and there is a link to what is needed before the interview.  There is also an option to select an agent...not sure what that is and I'm supposed to do that or just wait for the letter.  Its been almost 3 weeks since the case arrived at NVC but no letter with further instructions.  Can anyone tell me if the option "select an agent" listed on the NVC site is something that applies to us?

 

Your help is appreciated.

look your case number at the CEAC website when it says"ready". it is at the embassy stage

So, instead of showing a link to the instructions it will show a "ready"?

did the NVC not send you an email? if not, with your case number and invoice number is all that you need, and the embassy will send the beneficiary usually an email

No email from NVC but I did called and got the case...LND# and ID #.  I did enter the case number and it says at NVC. It also says follow the 6 steps instructions received from NVC but I haven't received anything from them.   Should I call them and inquire on what the steps are or wait for the letter?  I really appreciate your help...

Go to the embassy website for Italy in your case and follow their process for K-1. It is slightly different for every country how they process it. I can only talk for Kiev, since that is where my wife did hers

@Leo1967 it takes a few days to go from the NVC stage to the embassy. Just wait or check the CEAC website regurlarly and it will get there.

The transfer of the case from NVC to the Embassy/Consulate is usually quite fast, in my case it only took two days and my husband received an email from the Consulate of Naples with Packet3. However, talking to a few Italian applicants that I met here on VJ I noticed that sometimes the transfer takes longer, and sometimes the Consulate doesn't notify the petitioner at all. 

 

What I would suggest you is to write an email to ivnaples@state.gov and ask them if they have received your petition. Include your case #. You may also request Packet3 to them, it will have the specific instructions for that Consulate.

The medical examination takes place at Istituto Diagnostico Varelli and it is automatically scheduled by the Consulate the day before your fiancée's interview.

Your status should change to in transit. My application just shipped to the embassy today. It was only at NVC for 7 days or so. I actually received an email from NVC, first time I actually got an email from anyone about this whole process, and when I checked the tracker it did say In Transit.

Thank you for the response.  Our arrived at NVC on July 9th and when I check the case it says "AT NVC".  It doesn't say that it has left or "In-Transit".  Its been now 19 days at NVC...not sure what to think and have no instructions and what to do besides collecting the interview docs

Thank you. I guess all I can do is wait because after 19 days and NVC the status from "AT NVC" hasn't changed and I haven't received anything from them at all. No letter, no email
