I have my NVC case number, now what

[HiltonHead 3]

Have the NVC case number, NVC says my file just got into administrative processing a couple of days ago.  With a nvc case number (FRN) can I contact the Frankfurt embassy and move the process along (schedule the interview) or do I have to wait for the file to get to Frankfurt?  thanks

Usually Frankfurt sends out the packet with everything you need to know once they've received your case from NVC and are ready to schedule your interview. Don't know if that might be different since you're in Ukraine. You can absolutely contact the IV unit and ask.

Hi  I think I read on here someplace that I can schedule the medical exam as soon as I have the case # from NVC?  When in the process do I file the DS-160 and pay the MRV fee - before or after the medical exam?   I have not received an email or mail from NVC with instructions.   thanks

As K1 there won't be any instructions or the often quoted welcome letter from NVC. It's not advised nor needed to do anything until the embassy contacts you that they're ready for you to schedule.

Where is your fiance currently?

 

Wait until the NVC sends the petition to the embassy.  They will send you an email for this event.  Then you would typically wait for an email from the embassy to complete the DS-160, pay the fee and schedule the medical and interview. 

 

But some embassies do not send you the "Packet 3" email and you should complete the DS-160, pay the fee and schedule the medical and interview just after you receive the letter from the NVC that the petition was sent.

Fiance is currently in Bucharest.  I had submitted a request to have this application switched from Frankfurt to Bucharest.  Yesterday that request was granted - so I now have a NVC case starting with BCH.  I have not received a letter from NVC saying that it has been sent to the embassy yet.
