Yes, you should call the NVC for case number (both invoice number and case number), but wait for few weeks (2-4 weeks) to call. It will take time to get case number and invoice number. USCIS is shipping your case to NVC. You will focus on only NVC now. USCIS no longer handles your case since it ships your case to NVC. Your case will be arriving at the mail room at NVC in New Hampshire and they will input your information into system and generate case number and invoice number for you. All you will do is to keep calling NVC and give your USCIS case number to get NVC case number and invoice number, then login at ceac.state.gov. Good Luck!

what is the invoice number for?

[Gorkhali 214]

Case no and IIN no is assigned by NVC at the same time. This combination is needed to be able to log in to CEAC site and complete your NVC stage

I called them last week and got the numbers but they told me I need to wait for mail before I start anything

Don't listen to that, waiting for the NVC to mail anything will equal an unnecessary amount of time spent waiting.

[NikLR 13,227]

No. It's in the monthy NVC thread in the progress reports forum. I bet you can find it.
