Can a beneficiary call NVC/DOS?

Hiya! - just received our NOA2 on March 28th but we have yet to receive a letter off NVC with our case number, me query is as the topic states; Can the beneficiary (me) call instead of the petitioner for the case number at NVC, and if a case number is allotted, call the DOS regarding the Packet 3/interview? Cheers!

Yes, might cost a lot more for the phonecall but you can.

Just know the case number, your fiance's full name and birthday and your full name and birthday.

Of course! They (NVC and DOS) will ask for case #, name & DOB of both petitioner and beneficiary, then ask to which one are they speaking (I'm sure they can guess based on voice)

I think you can get the NVC case # through the automated menu using your USCIS case #, but will need an operator to update your email addresses if they don't have them on file.

Oooh, I have Skypez subscription so can call American numbers free! Thank you for the swift response.

I wonder if they operate the automated menu on Sundays (ignore if its a dumb Q) since it is the NVC after all - thanks for the help

Edit - Just called them; they have the automated menu thingy running 24/7 but no operators - will try on Monday if me USCIS case # doesn't help now.

Yes, you can always call the NVC but I tell you, you should be patient hearing the voice automated prompt. You might get lost and have to repeat all over again. Mind you the call rate is also double or higher than regular or local calls.
