NVC received case... now what?

NVC received my case today. How long until they send it out to the embassy?

I called the NVC today and asked that and they said usually for a K-1 it gets sent out pretty quick- 5 days or so after they receive it, depending on security checks.

The NVC says that it can take up to 2 to 4 weeks...but usually they sent it out pretty quick. Hope this helps...All the Best..

I think they sent my petition abroad the same day they received it -- I got the notice that it was sent to the NVC on 3/17 and I called them with a question that Monday (3/20) and they told me that my petition was received in Naples on 3/15 which stunned me. So... who knows? Probably the average time it takes is like 2 - 5 days. I never received any sort of confirmation from the consulate that they got my stuff, so you should call in a few days and ask if it's been sent abroad yet or not and if it has, contact the consulate right away about Packet 3.

Good luck!

They usually send cases out in batches but it takes the embassies a few weeks to process them so allow 3-4 weeks then you should have your packet 3. Why not go ahead and download all the forms now from VJ save yourself some time?

Adele,

How do you know what forms to download?

I've gone to the Embassy site in Russia.

There are two places on the site where one page says one form [i-134] and the other says another form [the I-864].

Plus one says one fee and the other says another fee.

It appears either the site's not been updated or there's confusion.

It's unclear if the k supplement has to be in Russian; the DS-156 must be in Russian.

I've also read about some forms dealing with medical that are not listed on the Embassy web site.

Thanks!

Our NVC turnaround was 1 day! Best of luck on the future visa journey!

Iv'e been seeing 1-2 weeks. Don't know if the new IMBRA law slows things down there also. Good luck!
