I remember when helping my fiancée to complete the DS-160 it specifically requested the USCIS receipt number. Reviewing the DS-160 help and FAQ confirms this to be the case. Nowhere on the DS-160 did I encounter a request to input the NVC case number.
Help: Application Receipt/Petition Number
If you are applying for a petition-based visa, your application receipt/petition number was given to you by the Department of Homeland Security’s U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) after you filed your petition application at a USCIS Service Center. The application receipt/petition number is 13 characters long and the first three characters are letters.

Sorry to hear this but as others have said homesickness is very common. My wife has been here 4 months now and she still gets homesick. She spent the last 20+ years working in Hong Kong and Singapore but she still misses home even though she was ever only able to visit every couple of years or so. One thing that can help is to search out a local filipino community or church. Get her involved with some other filipinos in the area. It really helps if they have someone else they can relate to. Before my wife arrived I got her in contact with one of my coworker's filipina wife. They chatted a bit before my wife moved here from Singapore. She now talks with her on a regular basis and we have had dinner with them a couple of times. She spent the day with her recently shopping and preparing dinner for us.
Mainly just reassure her of your love and support and that you'll be patient and understanding during the adjustment.

This is a scam. The IRS will not call you asking for money. You would receive a notice in the mail, not a phone call. Hang up and block the number they are calling from.

IRS-Impersonation Telephone Scam
An aggressive and sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, has been making the rounds throughout the country. Callers claim to be employees of the IRS, but are not. These con artists can sound convincing when they call. They use fake names and bogus IRS identification badge numbers. They may know a lot about their targets, and they usually alter the caller ID to make it look like the IRS is calling.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.
Or, victims may be told they have a refund due to try to trick them into sharing private information.
If the phone isn't answered, the scammers often leave an “urgent” callback request.
Note that the IRS will never: 1) call to demand immediate payment, nor will the agency call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill; 2) demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe; 3) require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card; 4) ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone; or 5) threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.

This is an automatic red flag. Anyone that insists you not speak to someone else is a scammer.

Not sure where he got your information but unfortunately dealing with the government many times means some of your information is available in public databases. If your phone has the ability to block numbers do that now. Also pay attention to similar numbers that may call. Many times once these people think they have you hooked they will call from multiple numbers if you start block them. Just hang up and block any other attempts they may try.

There is an option that probably allows you to plan the wedding you really want but it requires that you spend more time apart. Once your visa is approved you typically have 6 months from the date of the medical to enter the US. You then have 90 days after entry to get married. That gives you roughly 9 months after visa approval for the wedding.

Your question seems to indicate that you only want to be married in the US but not actually move to the US to live. If that is the case then the K1 visa is not appropriate. You would just come to the US on a tourist visa for the wedding then you and your wife would return to Japan.

Really sorry to hear that your husband is no help. This is odd in my opinion and probably foreshadows rocky things ahead. At the very least he lacks compassion for the fact you are in completely different world than what you were accustomed. The AOS and supporting documentation are still his responsibility and he should be helping but that's just my opinion.
I just started the process to bring my fiancée over here. Because I am the petitioner and it is my country I am doing the necessary research and letting her know what to expect in the future. I have helped walk her through some of the initial things we needed for the petition. I will also be assisting as much as possible being 9000 miles away once the petition is forwarded to the embassy. I don't expect her to know everything and she doesn't have the time that I do to research and understand what is needed.
I personally think your husband needs to grow up and stop being a selfish, whiney little baby.

This in my opinion is the problem. You need to get on the damn phone, skype, whatever, every day and be talking to him. You need to show him you really care about your relationship. Your actions are sending him the opposite message.
I've been in a relationship with my fiancée for 8 months. In those 8 months we have compiled over 1200 pages of chat logs and countless hours on the phone. It's the only way either of us keeps our sanity by knowing, without a doubt, that every day our partner is there for us going through the same thing we are going through.

And this is exactly why I was a bit shocked to be approved in 22 days. My fiancée lives in Singapore, her home is in northern Luzon well away from the region affected by that typhoon. I had my fingers crossed that we'd see a quick approval but was not counting on it.

You will surrender your passport at the interview so they can insert the visa so you won't be able to travel until they return it.

That's the problem, I did answer your question. Nobody can tell you what YOUR RFE requires. Each case is different.

You don't have to be an I-130 filer or even received an RFE to understand the each RFE is dependent on specific information lacking in an individual petition. You will know exactly what is needed when you receive the notice that USCIS mailed to you.
