Email from NVC

[Team J and B 2]

Good morning, just a quick question again:

I got an email from NVC, see text box below:

Your inquiry has been received at the National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC has completed its processing of the visa petition you mentioned in your letter and has forwarded the petition to the assigned US Embassy/Consulate General for further processing.

The correct case number is listed below.

Any further inquiries should be directed to the assigned US Embassy or Consulate General.

Question is, I got the email today, but likely they don't send out files everyday, right? So I shouldn't expect them to send the file immediately, should I?

Also, what does the below in bold mean?

Case Number: VAC2008XXXXXX

Beneficiary's Name: XXXXXXXXXXX

Preference Category: K1

Your Priority Date: 01Jun2007

Foreign State Chargeability: XXXXXXXXXX

U.S. Embassy/Consulate: CONSULATE GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES, VISA UNIT

1095 WEST PENDER STREET

VANCOUVER, BC V6E 2M6

CANADA

What is priority date? What is foreign state chargeability?

Thank you, Timmy Ho lovers.

Thank you, Timmy Ho lovers.

I don't know how quickly files reach Vancouver, but the priority date should correspond to your application date. As for the 'legal' meaning and what it is used for: link

As for Foreign State Chargeability:

Foreign State of Chargeability

The independent country to which an immigrant entering under the preference system is accredited. No more than 7 percent of the family-sponsored and employment-based visas may be issued to natives of any one independent country in a fiscal year. No one dependency of any independent country may receive more than 2 percent of the family-sponsored and employment-based visas issued. Since these limits are based on visa issuance rather than entries into the United States, and immigrant visas are valid for 6 months, there is not total correspondence between these two occurrences. Chargeability is usually determined by country of birth. Exceptions are made to prevent the separation of family members when the limitation for the country of birth has been met.
