Oh, and, CONGRATS!!

Reading the link above and just have a question about the Barcode. It says to enter our case number. Will our case number remain the same as throughout the process or will the NVC assign a new case number? I vaguely remember reading somewhere (but I've read so much I can't seem to pin it down) that NVC would assign a new case number. Is this accurate?

Thanks!
