I'm so sorry. Seems it's all a matter of luck and some get it before others, just like NOA2. NVCResearch unfortunately doesn't give out case numbers, they can only locate the petition. At least I am assuming this seeing I don't know anyone that has been successful in getting a case number from NVCResearch, everyone looking for a case number there gets directed to public inquiry. Your best chances are the public inquiry. Attach your NOA2 and the email on June 29th saying it was received. It's taking unfortunately a week to get a reply now.

Sorry, I kinda knew that part about the 500 would be confusing. But your method works as well! haha The case number has the Julian date + 500. So in the example there, those 3 numbers after the year are 815. So the Julian date + 500 is this number. Meaning the Julian date is 315, and 315 is November 11th. If yours has 699, then the Julian date is 199 (699 - 500), and that is July 18th indeed.

Thank you!!! Your case number follows the below pattern: 3 letters that identify your embassy + year + (Julian date (+500)) + number of the case in that day I'll get the example that it's on the PDF on the first page of this thread: MTL2014815162 = MTL | 2014 | 815 | 162 = Montreal | Created in 2014 | 315th Julian Day (+ 500) | 162nd case that day = Montreal | Created in 2014 | November 11th | 162nd case that day "First three letters indicate that this case is going through Montreal, and the case number was assigned on November 11, 2014, and it was the 162nd case that day to be given a number. The first three letters indicate that this case is going through Montreal, and the number was assigned on November 11, 2014, and it was the 162nd case that day to be given a number. Use the calendar below." (From the PDF) You can find the 2023 Julian calendar here.

Finally got my case number today through NVC public inquiry. On day 82! The case number tells me my case was created yesterday though, so I don't see how I can make the shipment this week. Will need to wait until August 15th. Matter of luck again. And mine is terrible.

Hello! I'm wondering if there's any K1 beneficiary here from Brazil that instead of going through the medical exam in Rio, chose to do it in São Paulo? What was your experience? Can all the exams and the medical appointment be made in a single day contrary to Rio that asks for the exams beforehand? And how long does the doctor take to send the results to the embassy in Rio? Do we need to go back to the doctor's office and retrieve anything to take with us for the interview? I ask because I'm closer to São Paulo so it would save me time and money to go through it there instead of Rio. I searched VJ and only found one person that did that, but it was for EB-2 visa. I wonder if it's the same for São Paulo. I also already emailed the SP doctor to ask, just waiting on a reply. Thank you!
