Hi all.
What is 2NT after 1C 1N?
Because 1N after 1C promises 8-10 HCP, does it changes de meaning of 2NT?
With a 18-19 balance opener would bid 3N, so, 2NT is any kind of semi-balance or maybe a 4441 with 15-16 HCP?

The sequence is unusual, but I would say it shows an unbalanced hand with 15-16.
It should be unbalanced because if it were balanced you would have opened 1NT

For me, 18-19 bal.
3NT is the hand with long ♣ too strong for 3♣ rebid, but shy of 2♣ opening.

Irrespective of what it shows, 
more important is what it asks. 
.......if invitational, do you pass or accept the invitation based on your hand's 1NT range and values. 
If forcing, what is your systemic response based on your hand 
Personally, I would use the 2NT rebid when my 1C bid came from a 4315 or 4405 or 3316 hand in the 14-15 hcp range.
