WAITING FOR K-1 VISA

[irish15 0]

Hi everybody. I'm new here and would like to know a few things.

My fiance sent out the i-129f in May this year through a field office in Philadelphia and made the required payment for the same. In June, they asked for some additional information together with affidavit of support which he supplied. Since then, we have not heard anything from them, he has not even received the NOA. Recently when he called the office that received the documents, they told him according to their records, the petition had already been sent to Nairobi and they had no further records. He was even told to re-apply (meaning he would have to pay again but I told him to hold on first we wait for like a month to see if anything would happen.

On Tuesday, I called the US consulate offices and spoke to a lady who advised me to tell my fiance to find out fron NVC and not USCIS the position of the petition and he is in the process of doing that. My questions are:

1) Is it possible that the petition could have gotten lost and we would have to re-apply?

2) How long does it take before you get any official communication from the NVC or consulate involved?

3) One of my children who is shown as my dependant in the petition turned 21 after the petition had already been filed. My fiance also filled out some form regarding this. What will happen?

4) I am made to understand that the US consulate here in Nairobi only recognizes one medical centre for carrying out he medical exam. Is this true?

Will appreciate any information that will help me understand how this works and what to expect.
