The Fiance Visa NVC case number: how do they come up with it?

The Fiance Visa NVC Case number

.

Once your I-129F is approved and your case is with the National Visa Center (NVC), they issue a case number to you.

This case number is your identity for the entire K-1 visa process. 

You’ll be surprised to know that there’s nothing really special about what the case number actually is made up of. It’s actually a bunch of mathematical variables and has nothing to do with you.

Let me explain what I mean. Let’s take a look at an example:

.

How an NVC Case number is generated for the Fiance Visa

.
This is how a typical one looks like RDJ2016612020

The first three letters indicate which Embassy the case is headed to. In this case, RDJ is the Rio De Janeiro Consulate in Brazil, which is only one of nearly 150 US Embassies around the world that process immigrant visas.

Yours could be any US Embassy that processes K visas. 

Another common one is MNL, which is the Manila Embassy in the Philippines.

The next four digits is the year in which the case number was generated. Let’s say this case was generated in 2016.

The next three digits are the result of which day the case was created starting with 501 being January 1st. 

January 2 would be 502. January 3 would be 503. February 1st would be 532 because it’s 32 days after New Years. And so on and so forth. Do you get that? 

In our example here 612 would be 112 days after New years. Which translates to April 23rd. So, this case was accepted and assigned a NVC case number on April 23rd. 

The final three digits means which number case they created for that Embassy on that particular day. That’s the sequence that your case was in. For example, 020 means that your case was the 20th case generated for the Rio Embassy on that particular date — which happens to be April 23rd for this example.

You see, there’s nothing special about the actual meaning of a case number. Nothing about you or your fiance is actually involved here for your fiance visa. It’s a simple mathematical number generated when they pick up your case and assign a number.

The NVC approval letter for fiance visa applicants show your case number

.

Great. Now that you know what it is and what it means. Your NVC case number will be your IDENTITY from now on after your I-129F is approved.

Make note and a keep record of it. Because whenever you communicate with the NVC or the US Embassy from now on, you will reference this number for the K-1 visa.
