I spoke to the USCIS a short while ago and was told that they send the petition directly to the Embassy/Consulate and that if in 90 days I have no news from the Embassy that I should call them and they will make some kind of referral request to that Embassy/Consulate. The woman I spoke to said that the NVC does not even come into the picture. That I have been given wrong information. I am left quite confused I have to admit.

Paul and I met on the Bazaar on the 14th January (he joined my progressive rock forum that day)

July 3rd he flew to England to meet me

We fell in love while he drove all over the place coz I cannot read maps (we were supposed to go to Ingleton - but touched Darlington 4 times, Pierce Bridge 6 times, Scotch Corner twice and Bernard Castle twice and we never did make it to Ingleton)

It has been so long and so much has happened in between...

Arrived in Houston on October 29th 2006

Married 17th November 2006

Lost my father 8th January 2007 (all dates are a blur after this)

Conditional Green Card dated 24th October 2007

For K-1s, the NVC is a mere blip on the radar screen in this whole process. The service centre sends in a bunch of their approvals to NVC, and NVC basically reroutes them to the appropriate embassy. c'est tout! I think our petition stayed there for a day? Two days?

I'm not sure what information you had been told, but it sounds like you are on the right track now!

Well the hassle is that we were approved on the 29th December 2005 and recieved the noa2 on the 3rd January 2006... but the NVC has no news of our petition and neither does the Embassy. So, I called the USCIS to find out if it was sent and this is the response I got.

Yes they do send it to the NVC, and they forward it to the consulate. If you call the NVC they will say they know nothing about it, but if you push hard enough then they will send you to someone that can answer more questions.

I would bet the consulate has it, but they are backlogged...keep on them.
