Hello there all, I am almost in the same situation, me &my hubby's I129 & I130 approved in Feb, he wants to persue the I129.. we were told it would be mailed in one week to the embassy in Jamaica.. that was the week of Feb 18.. but we still haven't heard anything from the emabassy.. the NVC keeps telling us that it mailed on 2/13.. and they don't know the status of it after it left the NVC.. does anyone know usually how long it can take to hear anything from the embassy?

No ideaa about Jamaica embassy

maybe you could post separately so that people who may know see the question

look also at timelines and contact other people processed by the same embassy

between you and me it seems long

maybe lost

would ask what if lost? to NVC

Mrs. Hamliton, e-mail the embassy and ask them if they have received your I-129. You need the case number that NVC assigned you when it was sent on. Here is the e-mail address,

Consularkingst <consularkingst@state.gov>. You need the KNG number that was assigned by NVC. I don't understand why you have waited this long to ask... It is my understanding that a I-129 petition can expire, so please get on this TODAY.

If you have 2 petitions K3 and CR1/IR1, you can go which ever route that is ideal for you. If you want to proceed with CR1/IR1 over the K3, then just ignore the k3 processing and wait for the CR1/IR1. :thumbs:
