So how long after the case is sent to NVC before a case number is assigned? The NOA said a month, as usual. I was thinking about calling NVC soon, but here's the potential problem.

Clearly I am the person who does all the paperwork and deals with the whole process for my brother. My mom cannot use the computer and does not know any English aside from some simple words and phrases. I will be my brother's agent once that form is available. Until then, though, will NVC give me the case and invoice numbers over the phone if I'm neither the beneficiary nor the petitioner, nor the offical agent? In the past, when my husband filed for our children, USCIS refused to talk to me because I was not part of the deal, so to speak. It did not matter to them that I was the mother, because I was neither the petitioner, nor the beneficiary. If NVC does not give me my brother's case information, I'm afraid it will be a while before I can do anything with his case, because if they try to communicate with him (as it says in the letter) or with our mother, they will get nothing. If they mail something to my brother's address outside the US, it wll most likely get lost or take months to arrive.

So have anyone tried to contact NVC on behalf of their petitioning parents? How did it go?

With mine it 3wks . Once your mother receives her welcome letter from NVC she can assign you as the agent Your mother has to call them thats the only way.I Think. If NOA2 is recieved keep on calling NVC to check for the CAse and invoice#.

My mother cannot call them. She does not speak English.

When does the welcome letter come? It will come to her home address in the US, right? I have never received anything from NVC by regular mail before, only e-mail. My parents received some paperwork from NVC in their home country, but that took months.

. If she cant call them then you probably really have to just wait for the welcome letter. Or you can try to write them a letter. NOA 2 got approved feb. Received welcome letter july 17. She will receive it email if you guys are receiving instructions thru email. I agree with you the mailed intructions you will receive after few months in other country. Husband got his 4 months after the date when it was sent by nvc.When is your PD?

PD is September 15, 2014.

Ok, then about 5 months from NOA 2 to welcome letter? No hurry, I suppose... It would be December for us.
