NVC case creation question

[AneliaO 3]

All...I received the following from the NVC inquiry: "The National Visa Center (NVC) has received your petition from U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services.  Your NVC case number is XXXXXXX.  Due to your petition type, you will not receive a request for fee payment or document submission." Does this mean I do not do anything with CEAC? Do I now have to wait for them to send my petition to the embassy? I tried logging into the CEAC and it asked for an invoice number. I am so confusion.

You do not log into CEAC as a K-1 applicant. You will not receive an invoice number. You can check your case status here to see when it is sent to the embassy and marked as "Ready":

When it is sent to the embassy, you will receive an email from NVC with a letter attached called the K1-FTP. Hang onto that as the beneficiary may need it for medical exam scheduling, etc.

Thank you. This process is so convoluted

Yes it is. Patience and knowledge are your best weapons to combat this. Become an A+ student of the processes ahead of you.
