Is there anywhere on this site where i can find how NVC handles K1? There is one for CR1 but i cant find one for K1. Thanks

Have you seen the K-1 flowchart? http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1flow

In most cases, fiancé(e) petitions don't remain at the NVC for very long. In my case, it was there for about a business day, they assigned the consular number and shipped it to London.

Part One: The K-1 Visa Journey:

USCIS Receipt of I-129F: January 24, 2012 | Petition Approval: June 15, 2012 (No RFEs)
Interview: October 24, 2012 - Review | Visa Delivered: October 31, 2012



Part Two: Entry and Adjusting Status:

POE: November 18, 2012 (at SFO) - Review
Wedding: December 1, 2012 | Social Security: New cards received on December 7, 2012.
AOS Package (I-485/I-765/I-131) NOA1: February 19, 2013 | Biometrics Appt.: March 18, 2013
AP/EAD Approved: April 29, 2013 | Card Received: May 6, 2013 | AOS Interview Appt.: May 16, 2013 - Approved Review Card Received: May 24, 2013

Part Three: Removal of Conditions:

Coming Soon...

Wow thats great. hope mine is like that too. and thanks so much

As Left Coast Lady suggests, check out the K-1 flowchart in the GUIDES section at the top of the forum.

Our experience was a little different than she experienced, our petition was at NVC for 11 days. It varies from case to case. Their processing can drag on, and on.... they use the abbreviation, AP, which to NVC can be interpreted as Additional Processing or Administrative Processing... the result is the same.....more time waiting.... :whistle:

YMMV

Good luck on your visa journey.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)

YMMV is right. I befriended a few other VJers who submitted their I129Fs on the same date as us. We all got our NOA1s on the same date, and even our NOA2s on the same date. The other people I've seen were in and out of NVC within 2 weeks of the NOA2, and are even onto medicals already.

Ours on the other hand still hasn't been received by the NVC about a month later -- the most recent update being an email from them saying that it could now take as long as 45 days for them to receive the petition from USCIS.

We're doing our best to be patient, but we've also learned not to get our hopes too up any step of the way. We thought it'd be smooth sailing after the NOA2 (which was approved ahead of the estimated time), but clearly every case is different and has its smooth parts and hiccups along the way.
