The Consulate needs this information in order to deliver the Instruction Package Letter (PKT3-K) as well as other documents to you.

As part of this process, you will be asked to provide your valid DS-160 barcode number.

Got it! Hope so. On a secondary note glad to see NVC moving so smoothly. When I was stalking the June-July-August threads the USCIS to NVC was taking 3 months. We are cruising right along!

Hello, everyone. On October 10th, I've received the letter from NVC regarding our case being shipped to Warsaw consulate. This letter did include NVC case number as well.

 

Now, I'm sort of puzzled:

 

1) I've received new case number but no Invoice ID number to login into the system :( Can't login to CEAC.

2) Our consulate is in Warsaw, Poland, but my fiancé is Russian, right now there are restrictions on visas and border crossings due to war related sanctions (or at least that's what I've heard). Should I request a case transfer to another country?

You don't get an invoice number, you want case status on CEAC and choose immigration, it will only ask for case number.
You can't request transfer without proof of residence in another country, I know someone who did for Serbia but submitted residence documents. I believe Russians are getting schegnan visa by essentially lying about which country they intent to use it for sadly. I would look for a russian group to chat with on how they're doing things.

Something seems up with 21st NOA2s that were put online on 23rd as a few seem to be getting theirs later than other 21st Sept.

Anyway, only inquired twice but
13th Oct: Received
17th Oct: case number made and received

Hoping for transit next week

NVC case was received 10/6 but not in transit for the 10/10, 10/11 ship date. Is that typical? I see someone at 10/5 was shipped around then. 
 

hopefully ships out 10/24, but a bit concerned. 

case number or received? There is a delay between NVC receiving your case and processing it.

Thank you for the advise. I've thought that Invoice number is needed to pay the fee. Anyway I've made the same requests directly to NVC and Warsaw consultate.

Anyone else seeing any movement from NVC? We inquired last week and they replied they had received our case but hadn't input the information yet to generate a case number. 

We got our NOA2 on sept 25th and I emailed an enquiry and recieved a response in a few days that had my case number and everything on it. We went online this past friday night and filled out the ds-160 and there was no link to pay any fee. Now we dont know what to do, lol. I think we are still waiting for a welcome letter or an emailed bill for the bank to go pay a fee. We are kind of hanging in standby mode at the moment.
