Path of the I-129

[vuhtran 1]

Once you get the NOA2, does the USCIS send the approved I-129 for the K-1 visa directly to the consulate or does it go through the NVC then to the consulate? Many of the VJres here have on their timeline being accepted by the NVC in only 3 days and then being forwarded onto the embassy in another 3 days. It has been 10 days since I got my approval email so I am curious as to what is the current path that for K-1 visas.

Thanks ahead of time.

NVC is the USCIS launchpoint for all approved petitions into the Department of State system
