NVC received our case (NOA2 10 Oct)! One step closer. 
Hopefully, we will make it in the upcoming Embassy batch. 

My fiancee is on her way to the interview right now, very nervous and excited! 😀

Got our NOA2 on October 10th according to the website, however a hard copy we received is dated October 9th..
My fiance called NVC on Friday (October 26th) and they told him that they recieved our case but havent assigned it a  case number yet... we are planning to call again next Friday, hopefully we hear some good news!

So glad to finally be here!  I'm going to read the thread so I won't clutter this up with questions already answered.

NOA1: January 22
NOA2: October 2
NVC received: October 16
NVC # Assigned: October 17
Status: At NVC
 
It took 14 days for NVC to receive our case.  The email alert didn't give us notification that they received it or assigned the number. I suggest you to give them a call after 14 days

Please wish us luck!!!!! I will keep you all updated.

Hi! Private message me. There is a whatsupp group that is tracking Moscow dates that I can help your fiance be a part of.

I created this thread for those who are waiting for their NOA2 K-1 and the case assignment from NVC.
 
These are items that everyone ask for so I thought I just post them here for you to refer to when it's necessary.
 
1. How do I update my email address with NVC  Once you receive your NOA2 approval then contact NVC via https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html to update your email address as well as your beneficiary's email address. This will give you an email alert when your file arrives at NVC, your case is assigned and when the file leaves for your Embassy.
 
2. Checking on your embassy case number from NVC:
It will take 7 - 10 business days for NVC to receive your file from USCIS after you receive the NOA2, then another 2 - 5 business days for NVC to get your file in there system and produce your case number.  Call 7:00 am eastern time for shorter wait times.
 
1-603-334-0700 or 603-334-0888. Operator assistance is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM (Eastern Time)
 
1 for English, then 7 (or 5, but I would go 7 as they would tell you if you should call 5 instead after they receive your case.)
 
Best time to call:
Right after they open which is around 7:00am US Eastern Time, Mon-Fri. Most have had luck getting the phone answered after the first ring if they called right at 7am.
 
3. How long to assign a Case # from NOA2
 
Currently it's been taking about 2 weeks for USCIS to send the file to NVC. Then it's been taking about 2-3 weeks for NVC to assign the case number. Then it's taking another 2-3 week depending on the Embassy to receive your case. Your mileage may vary!
 
4. Follow Similar VJ members timelines.  Use the tools here in VJ to answer "when I am going to get etc. etc." question. Near your picture there is a link for your timeline. Select it and once you're on the next page near your picture  you will see "follow similar timelines" and it will populate 12 other couples who are near your dates. Scroll down and you will see a "spreadsheet" style page showing all the variables for measurement for when others from your Embassy are getting the same notice of approval or action.  Try it. It really works!
 
5. Follow similar VJ members timelines from other countries. And if you want to follow those from other countries that have similar timelines as yours there are several tools available to you. Go up to Immigration Timelines on the blue ribbon above and select it. Once you are on the next page looked to your left and you will see a box that states, "find similar timelines" and select it. A list will populate with those who are processing close to your timeline. When they start to change you will soon be behind them.
 
I followed those that were in my group to give me an idea where they were in processing so I could judge if I was ahead or behind.  It's pretty accurate, maybe within a day or so.
 
If you choose to follow those twelve members then you will get an email every time their status updates.
 
I hope these tips help you along your Journey. So lets share our experiences, our tips and ask questions.
 

They have been pretty good at updating when there is a "touched" to your record or that there are any changes. I hoping this method continues to mature and work for all. Thanks for sharing with others.
