Hi All,
Could someone please let me know how can I confirm whether my case was sent to NVC? Or I have to wait till the lawyer can confirm that?
 
call

What I did is to call NVC and then input my I-140 case number. But it has been 20 days and NVC still hasn't my case. I assume you know your case number.
 
Question about case number

HI Beijing,
What do u mean by the case number? Is it the EAC number or there is a separate number for NVC. If separate, then from where do I get it? Thanks.
 
Case Number

When you call NVC, you will be prompted to input NVC case number or your original INS case number such as LINXXXXXXX. At this time, I can only try my INS case number LINXXXXXXX and I was told they don't have my record yet.

My understanding is that after NVC recevied your case, they will also create an NVC case number.
 
For NSC folks it is the LIN number, for VSC folks enter the EAC number.

The first meesage that you will hear is "No Record of approval yet". About 2-4 weeks from I-140 approval (although NVC claims 6-8 weeks), this message will change to "NVC has received the approval and case number number is xxxxxxxxxxxxx ". This is a 13 digit number. From here on you can either use your LIN/ EAC number or NVC generated case number for follow up.

In my case, I-140 approved on 4/1/03.
Message changed at NVC on 4/10/03 to NVC assigned case number BMB2003xxxxxx.
On 4/16/03 message changed to "NVC received DS3032".
On 4/21/03 message changed to "NVC issued fee bill"

My attorneys are still waiting to receive the fee bill, after which they will make payment to St Louis, which will encash payment, inform NVC which will then issue Packet 3 to attorneys which you will fill and mail to NVC which in turn will send to Consulate in India, which in turn will mail you packet 4 which is nothing but your invitation for the interview. For approx. time frames refer cptracker.com

hope this clarifies!
 
Initially your enquiry with the NVC will be with your I-140 Receipt
Number ( this differs from Service center to service center, EAC, LIN and so on).

If you are able to talk to the operator at the NVC , and they confirm that they have received the case and it has been entered in their system then, they will give you the NVC Case Number which would be 3 alphabets indicating the consulate and followed
by 10 digits.

Ex: Chennai - MDR2002xxxxxx
N.Delhi - NDW2002xxxxxx
