F4 NVC Approval Letter missing "Invoice ID Number"

[hunnain_ss]

Hi,

My brother is an American national and he applied for my immigration under "F4 - BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF U.S. CITIZENS". I got my NVC number back in April 2014 but the Invoice ID number was never shared in that letter. I am unable to create an account on https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx . My priority date is April 2011, but I want to resolve this matter as soon as I can.


My case was initially being handled through a lawyer but he stopped his practice in 2018. He communicated to my brother that he shared all the relevant letters/information with him, but he never mentioned anything about the Invoice ID number. We have tried reaching out to him to ensure that he has not missed out any document relating to the "Invoice ID Number", but he is nowhere to be found.

Can somebody please help and guide me on how can I get this number and create an account on the Immigrant Visa website?

I am from Pakistan.

Regards,

Hunnain

The Invoice ID number will become available once NVC contacts you for your documents. Your petition has been approved but you are not Documentarily Qualified yet. Once NVC starts asking you for documents, NVC will assign you an Invoice ID number.

That will be a few years from now. Right now, as of August 2023, NVC is asking people for documents whose F4 petitions were filed in March 2008.

I hope this helps.
