"it goes to the State Dept." HOW? Ask them if they use a carrier (like UPS, Fed Ex, etc.) or US Mail. I thought I remembered reading that they use carriers which are TRACEABLE.

"which has other priorities to clear". When I called NVC, I was told that they do not have to do anything with 129F petitions except assign the new case number and send it on it's merry way to the embassy. 90 days...that's a put off.

"there is no way to verify it has been sent". That's #######. Your file has a barcode on it which is supposed to allow them to accurately trace it. It should have been scanned the day it left VSC. Assume nothing!

Does anyone else have any ideas?

NVC is the state departement they determine if your spouse is eligible for a visa, before sending it off to the repected embassy. The check to see if the spouse was in the US illegally ie over stay of a previous visa. no big deal then its given a number and sent to where ever. The USCIS once its approved i guess it gets thrown in a pile and when it gets sent it gets sent. NVC says typically 2 to 4 weeks. No One at USCIS know where the file is> they say once its approved it gets sent. well USCIS is in VERMONT and NVC in NEW HAMPSHIRE, its been a month even if the carrier is walking he could have made the trip 3 times by now. so where are the files? anyone else having this issue?

Bacon, don't tell him about the prostate exam!

Being deployed by the military is one way. I don't think visas work like a passport where you can pay three times as much and get it faster, unfortunately... I'd take out a loan if I knew it could get my man-person back here quicker.

I looked into this. Unfortunately there is no expedited service on K-1 visa's unless your beneficiary is in mortal danger, i.e. in a war zone etc. Then theses are done on a case by case basis. You can pay extra for a work visa, but this is usually done by Companies that have hired a foreigner and need them in there position quickly for business reasons.

10/13/09 - Filed I-129F

Quick question ya'll. So once the USCIS approves the application they send it to the NVC. Will the NVC then send out a notice to us that they have received the application? Also do we have to pay any fees while we are at the NVC stage or are those collected at the consulate interview?
