I called and got my case number today.  I'm reading online I have to pay some fees before my our case is sent to the London embassy.  I'm so confused by that.  I know I have to fill out the affidavit of support, but what exactly are these fees the petionioner (Me) have to pay?

Likely the visa application fee, but that won't stop it from going to the Embassy.   You'll pay after you do the DS160......I understand petitioner or beneficiary can pay.

Thanks. So what exactly needs to be done on my behalf?

I have my employee letter and pay stubs for the affidavit of support.  My fiance needs those for his interview, correct? I plan on getting those to him when I go to visit him next month.  I'm just confused on what else needs to be done and in what order.

NOA2 approved on Jan 22 ( paper copy says 21). Just got off the phone with USCIS, they were pretty rude.

 

I asked if my petition was at least sent out to NVC. The officer was so annoyed at that question telling me that it is scheduled to get transferred and gave me the whole " it'll take 30-60 days for NVC to receive it" speech.

Just called. Tier 1 has access to this. It was shipped out on the 24th. Not sure why it took 2 weeks to be shipped out but o well, it should be at the NVC by now.

You got the nice officer ! All tier 1's told me they "can't see" this information.

@Greenbaum a while ago you send me the information for the Netherlands including a link to schedule the medical but this link doesn’t work? Do you have another link for me? 

Thank you for all you help! 

It's working for me. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NIkIYepyA0bOTE3h8o-4f3ju4HkLy7Si/view?usp=sharing

I'm in the same boat.  My approval was 9 January.  Try this number 603-334-0888 .  You don't have to wait as long.  Just push #1 for English.

It's taking long time

Just ask to speak to a Tier 2 officer. If they don't let you, hang up and call again. When someone picks up the phone say that you just called and were getting transferred to Tier 2 but the connection failed and you got hung up on  They should connect you right away ! 

My only confusion was always to get to even talk to anybody. I finally got the right combination of options haha, i dialed 1 2 3 2 and got me on the waiting list to a representative. They informed me my case is on its way to the NVC which is relieving, but the agent also mentioned it can take up to 180 days for the NVC to send it to the embassy. I want to stay positive and think they throw in that number in general way of saying some cases just take way longer than other cases. I can't imagine mine takes that long.

 

Thanks for the information.

So I called NVC today , they still haven’t received my case , it was approved January 16 , 3 weeks ago , has anyone with an approval close to mine receive a case number yet?

Mine was january 12th and I haven't received news about it yet

[Moraesm 42]

My fiancée just got a hold of them and our case has been received!

I checked the status on https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx and got the following message in the picture below. The officer said that the case was being prepared to be sent though.

So I guess I'm right to assume that the talk about "various fees" and "six steps" is an automatic message destined to the general public?

I just called NVC and was on hold for about 15 mins before talking with someone.  I had to give my receipt number and she was able to check for me.  Our case isn't there yet, but we were very much expecting that as it's only been a week since NOA2 (just being overly hopeful here 😂).  The representative was really nice though and just said "Sorry we don't have anything yet".  So, don't be afraid to call, it was pretty painless.

Nice , glad to read some people are actually having their cases received. Gives more hopes haha. I selected immigrant visa plugged in the wac number and entered the captcha code, but I keep getting the error that the code entered doesn't match the one in the screen. I don't know if even their error is spitting out the right information.

That page only works with the DOS case number...Not the USCIS number...

The WAC number and the NVC number are entirely different. You need the number issued by the NVC in order to check the status at the CEAC website.

I too have tried the CEAC website with the WAC number before hahahaha
