Brasil?

After NOA2 you need your case number to be able to schedule your interview, your case number will start with the letters RDJ (if it is in Brazil)and will be followed by a sequence of numbers. To get this number,, you have to call the NVC (603) 334-0700 or wait for the email or letter from the NVC.
Once your case number has STATUS READY, you can schedule your K1 visa interview (I advise you to contact the consulate to make sure the process has been forwarded to them, you already had problems with this) or wait for e-mail from the consulate stating they have your case.

the estimate time is 25 to 40 days. so if it’s longer than that, try to reach them.

When calling choose option 5, have your receipt number with you, and after that they will tell you if your case has been processed or not, if so they give you the case number. But even with the number in hand, it doesn't mean that you'll be able to schedule an interview. The official means is by email and letter that NVC sends to you. In these emails the NVC will be officially saying that your case number has been generated and that your case will be forwarded to the country's consulate.

some people call as soon as they get the NOA2. so you can try, but the waiting is long on the phone. like 2h. people say that calling early in the morning or 11 pm has a smaller waiting time

are they open 24 hours Milena Armstrong?
Milena ArmstrongSep 27, 2021
Customer Service Representatives are available from 7:00 AM to 12:00 midnight Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. Due to high call volumes, wait times may exceed 30 minutes.
people say to call between 7 - 7:30a. they waited 10 minutes only. or late at night
