received my case number

[JoJo1974 22]

Hi everyone.  I called NVC and finally received my case number today.  Does anyone know how long it takes for the embassy to receive it and for us to start booking an appointment?  The case # was just generated today and they received it from USCIS on the 18th Of march.  My fiance' is from Brazil.  We need to make our own appointment and I was wondering how long it would take for the Embassy in Brazil to receive our case #.

Thank you all for your help!

Could be couple weeks. Check CEAC for case status using your NVC number. Once it says "ready for scheduling" then you can book the interview.

As soon as your case turns to Ready you can book your appointment. I only received P3 one week after they received the package.

Also, since I noticed you already booked your interview, how backlogged is the consulate with the availability of booking the appointments?  What was your experience?

The wait is about 2 months.
