STUCK @ NVC for AP

[Beth/ Paris Heart 2]

Well here i am....stuck on AP they received our stuff Aug 14th, called today and they said we're in bloody AP!! #######!

Just keep calling and talking to a person. Hang in there.

Yep thats what I did... 25 days strong and I kept being persistent!!!

It's nice to see all of the encouragement from people who have been there.

I called the NVC twice today. The first lady freaked me out when she put me on hold for 5 minutes and then asked me what sort of visa we'd applied for.

The second person was very nice and said that it was definitely marked as a K1 visa and K1's are "expedited" (as opposed to others they actually do loads of processing on) and usually fly right out of there.

I asked if there were any questions I could answer because we'd been hanging around for 3 weeks... and, as I expected, he said they don't provide them with information concerning the reason for the AP, only that I'll be notified if they have questions/need anything further.

"One day closer", as Ian says. This too shall pass.

Tell me what is the difference of a K1 and a K3 for expedited, both have a shelf life of 4 months. Do they do extra processing on K3's ??., cause K'3 are filed on a I-129F. Please advise.

yes I called every day, sometimes twice once in am and then again late pm right before they close. Em I the only K3 here in AP????

I just checked the flowchart for K3 and yours is supposed to go through NVC in 1-4 weeks, just like K1's.

Welll hey that is a bit of good news. Guess it could be worse? Thank you all for your replys, 8 days down.

Hey fellow APer's I got in the mail yesterday a letter from NVC sayng they received our I-129F and will be sent to embassy within a week, does that mean I will be out of AP within a week, or is that a standard letter the NVC sends??

That is a standard form letter to let you know your case is there. I received mine about 14 days ago. I am still in AP.

UGH!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have to just try to have patience. This whole process is stressful. I found myself getting all worked up. I even deleted all my info on here at one point and was fed up. Then my future MIL and I had some confrontation after being friends for an entire yeah without incident. I had to take a break. So, if you are a K1 filer I suggest you focus on your wedding or read up on what comes after the interview so you are prepared when it comes time to file your AOS. K3's just focus on your paperwork too. We can't give the embassy any logical reason not to granted us/loved ones visas. Just wanted to share some thoughts and words of encouragement for everyone! Stay blessed....

Its hard to not think about this process, and not to sound like a witch, there is other life to do out there then NVC. Soon we will move from NVC to embassy, its just speed bump in this immigration nightmare.

Sometimes I feel like I am never going to here the, "We have sent your case to the London embassy" bit. But I know that's silly. It'll happen. Eventually.

As of 7:30pm today, still in AP.

The weekends are kind of a break, since NVC isn't open over the weekend.

I know it sucks....i'm still stuck too and I called for a 3rd time the lady never volunteered that I was in AP like the first guy, either did the second person. They just said "its only been a week." Well people fly through the NVC within days so where's our day in the sun? Stupid. This damn process!

I just want to get on the next plane to England right bloody now!!!!!! AAAARRRGGHHH!!

I hate it too, but Im lucky, I have been following the process thru NVC on the CR-1 so that does take the mind off AP, but I truly wish we could follow the K3 it would be faster for interview. So we will see what fiishes forst at NVC the CR-1 or the K3. UGH!!!! always delays no matter what step your in with this immigration hell nightmare. So we will support each other and keep each other company.

The clouds will clear, and blue skies for jetting.

Well maybe we'll have a Christmas wedding...sure hope so! I dont want to be married after January...! AARGH!

I wish I could tell you there is something you can do other than wait... well..there is

Get your bits and bobs ready for the interview, and anything else you need while you wait. I had the medical while I was stuck at NVC for 7 and a half weeks last year.

Times are coming down!

I JUST WANT TO SCREEEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a form letter, unfortunately. They don't bother configuring it to match your case. Someone just pushes some "application in" button and off it goes.

You'll get a letter later saying "We have sent your stuff to the embassy".

It'll happen.

Don't worry.
