January 2010 K-1 VSC

[V & C 0]

we got the NOA 2 yesterday...im curious when NVC is gonna get the papers...and when my embassy is gonna get them...im so impatient

Have you called NVC? You can call and confirm progress on your approved I-129f. Just follow the instructions left by Captian and Jared & Mary...

"Call the NVC in a day or so to find out your NVC Case #... 603-334-0700

Follow Mapt's instructions below:

==============================

Ok, just a little sidenote, for everyone who calls NVC in the future - you HAVE to talk to an operator.

K-1s are not entered into their automated response system.

So when calling, press 2 (for non-Haiti related case), 1 for English, 5 for an operator. Then you will be placed on hold.

Have your EAC/WAC number ready. Your beneficiary's DOB and name, and your DOB and name. Emails for both and your phone #. "

================================

When you speak to the operator, ask when NVC received your paperwork, if it has been mailed off to your embassy, and lastly, your case number. Hope this helps!

That explains....I've read that K1 visas are not entered into the automated message system. You'll have to speak to a live person. You should try giving them a call again come Monday. I think their hours are from 7:30am to 12:00 am EST, Mon - Fri. I've read that early hours and very late hours are best to get thru. Hopefully they already have your file!

oh! Thank you! I emailed them too...is there any way at all I'm gonna get their response?

Jared is correct. NVC automated system does not recognize K1s because they are "usually" in and out of NVC so fast (a few days)...unless you get unlucky and hit additional processing...but still you must call and speak to a human being.

Also, from VJ history "my own", NVC is VERY slow at replying to your emails. I sent them an email when they were supposed to have first received my petition. Read my timeline, I still haven't received an email response from NVC and my girl has her interview scheduled for next week. And that only happened because I picked up the phone and was persistant.

I called NVC twice today to get receipt date and case number. They are open from 7:30 to midnight M-F EST.

1st time I got a human in a couple of minutes, the realized I forgot to ask for the case number and called back. 2nd time I was on hold for 15 minutes but both people I spoke to were pleasant.

Good Luck.

You don't have to call them because they will send you a letter in the mail with your new case number. I received mine in about a week.

If you call the embassy, you will need your new case number...so one way or the other you will need that new number. I called at 11:40 pm and waited for 15 minutes to talk to someone.

Good luck.

I emailed the NVC too and they responded to my inquiry when our file was already in Ljubljana for days.

NVC told me that they mail the letter out when your file is shipped to the embassy. I personally don't like waiting for government incompetence. I called NVC everyday for two weeks while we were in additional processing. I found out exactly which date our petition left NVC and tracked it by DHL to the embassy and gave the embassy a few days then called for an appointment. We went through St Lukes and have the appoint next week and we just received the NVC letter a few days ago. I guess it all depends on if you have LOTS of patience....

Johnny, my case reached NVC last Friday as I told over the phone....I plan on checking NVC again tomorrow. Do you know if it is okay to check so often? I think the operator instructed me to call in a week or two. That seems a bit long when I see many cases leaving in 2-3 days. And my last question...how were you able to track your package w/ DHL. Is there some sort of system?

I called everyday, except weekends coz they're closed. But the last one I talked to told me it was sent to the embassy 3 days ago and in her own words "now you can call and bug them...want their number?"
