DS-230 Part I & II: Usually, they just use the ones you'd sent to the NVC. But, yes, fill them out again just in case.

Yes, my NVC case number is on their website. I suggest you persist with calling them as well as sending them an e-mail about this. I've found that the best time to call them is between 2:00 - 4:00 PM IST.
