nvc case number

[thedetroiter 0]

Just got off the line with nvc and they gave me a case number however they haven't forwarded my documents 2 the embassy yet. What next any advice? I have started preparing documents for my fiancee...

I guess that's all you really can do for now until they actually send your case to your consulate. Hopefully they do that soon I'm sure they will send that off rather quickly. Our petition arrived and left the NVC in 4 days. Should be ok!

I'm in the same boat - one of the more helpful guys on the phone told me they usually batch up documents from several cases to send to any given embassy. Of course, Indonesia is a huge country, so there must be a lot of traffic, but in my case (Armenia), I expect it may take a few more days for them to get enough paperwork to make the courier fees worthwhile. In any event, it shouldn't be too long, the Department of State moves a lot faster than USCIS.

As for what's next, preparing documents for your fiance is the thing to do. Read the guides here on VJ, they'll give you good advice, and try to find embassy specific instructions as well. At a minimum, if you haven't already, order tax transcripts from the IRS (free, and they take a few days) if you are claiming income as the basis for the affidavit of support.
