This is not accurate. When contacting the NVC, they will inform you that the petition can take up to 15 working days from the date of the NOA2. In addition, going through this process myself at the moment and having filed in February at the CSC, it took from the 27th May to the 13th June for NVC to receive my petition before then sending it onto the embassy. Therefore, the documents are not always with the embassy within 2 weeks from the date of NOA2. From various postings on this topic, there does appear to be a hold up of documents going from the CSC to the NVC.

Also (and I can only talk about the UK here), the NVC case number is necessary for booking medicals, etc., and the USCIS number is not accepted.

OP - you may want to check with your country's embassy as to which number they will be expecting you to use when contacting them re: medical and interview - the NVC number (which I think is the more normal one) or the USCIS number. I know it can be a trying time, but it does sound like your case is on its way.

Thanks for this!

Thanks for the info. However there will be some means that the petitioner knows about the NVC case #. For the matter of fact, we, the petitioner, were not suppose to call the NVC to get the case #. As NOA2 on paragraph 3 read “You will receive notifications by mail when NVC has sent the petition to the US Embassy or Consulate”. This means that there is a correspondence letter coming from NVC. Please refer the NOA 2. Meanwhile we don’t have to wait for the letter to come to us. As soon as we got the NVC case #, beneficiaries can start their process at the consulate.

Good Luck

I don't have that paragraph on my NOA2. It doesn't give me any further instructions other than telling me what to do if we have to change consulates and that we have to get married within 90 days of my fiance entering the U.S. But my NOA2 says the petition has been forwarded to the consulate so maybe we bypassed the NVC?

I am not sure that your petition bypasses the NVC. US embassies in different countries have different procedures to handle the K-1 petition. However, I believe all embassies get their packages directly from the NVC rather than USCIS. Each embassy may have different procedure handling the process afterward.

Good Luck
