Keep in mind that you cannot begin to pay fees or submit documents until you receive this letter from NVC instructing you to begin processing. NVC will send you a letter or e-mail with your case number and a separate invoice ID number. After NVC receives your approved petition from USCIS, NVC creates a case file for you at the Department of State and assigns you an NVC case number. The National Visa Center (NVC) will send you both of those numbers. NVC will send you both of those numbers when they receive your approved petition from USCIS. Immigrant visa applicants use their National Visa Center (NVC) case number and invoice ID number to log into CEAC. My scanner automatically saves my documents in a file type that CEAC doesn’t accept. My scanner won’t save my document in the required size. The “Submit Documents” button isn’t working. How do I add a derivative family member to my case? How do I change a derivative family member’s status to “follow-to-join”? What if my derivative family member wants to wait to immigrate? How do I read the status on the Affidavit of Support tab and Civil Documents tab? How do I read the status chart on my CEAC summary page? How do I update my mailing address or phone number? I’m not getting alerts from NVC that there has been a change in my CEAC account. Is my personal information on CEAC secure?

Where do I find my NVC case number and invoice ID number?
