NVC Process - EP - What is Beneficiary ID?

[Jellybelly 1]

Hi all - In completing the DS-261 for electronic processing at the NVC, is the "beneficiary ID" the same as our NVC case number or our invoice ID number? This is the electronic form that replaces the DS-3032 (choice of agent). Sayin, do you know?

You have to call the NVC and get this number. It is different that your invoice number and your case number.

Like Heather said, you have to call NVC. When I got my case number, I also asked for the IIN and the beneficiary ID number.

Thanks Heather & Matt and Saylin! #######, I remembered to ask for the Inv ID #... didn't realize I forgot to ask for more info. Too funny that the operator doesn't volunteer to provide you with the other. Oh, well. Thanks again guys! And looks like we all have the US/Cdn connections... I heart Canadians...

Yeah, when I first called and found out that a case number was assigned, the operator didn't voluntarily give it to me. I had to ask for my case number, then I had to ask for the IIN, then I had to ask for the beneficiary ID number.

Canadians are awesome
