OK, I am so frustrated. I have contacted the NVC many times and explained to them many people here have had K1 case numbers assigned and package forwarded to the Embassy and mine has not. I get nothing, other than well give it more time, it normally takes 2 weeks. They received the package from USCIS on 5/18...and it still sits.

Have you asked if you're in AP? After over a week it might be legitimate to ask...I heard they don't tell you that until you specifically ask.

No, the 1040 is not the same as a tax transcript. If you want to use the 1040, you also need all the backup documentation. W-2s, 1099s, and any other forms used to fill out the 1040. Your fiance can request a tax transcript for free using the information here:

It will take about a week.

I confirmed, we are in "Additional Processing". I have decided to enroll the help of my congressman's office once again. Tired of this ####### of big black holes that no one can tell you what is going on, other than we are delaying things. I am so upset right now!!!

[James And Oksana 19]

I have to say, right now I feel like I have been punched in the stomach. I left Russia thinking that in around 60 days I would be back for the interview. Now I am told by the NVC they have no idea when my case will clear Additional Processing. Now I have no idea when the interview will be, and likely her children will not be here in time for school to start. For such a great country, the US government seems to find a way to disappoint me time and time again.

Hello from Japan to all my January filer friends! Just got the reply today to the RFE info we sent in - what a nice birthday present!!! It said we should hear back within 60 days. Timing is working out well since we may be here until late July now... then a quick trip to Vancouver in August to get a police check, medical and embassy appointment and then fingers crossed a small wedding on the beach in Hawaii in September.

Hi Jan Filers, Im busy getting my things ready for packet 3, does anyone know how many copies of the Police Certificate/Record I will need (London Embassy)?

Thank you all.

[Sunshine Times 7]

Oh!! also, should the Petitioner be receiving written confirmation of our new case number?

Thanks again.

Hey there, for your police certificate question you need only one original but bring a copy too. As for your question about the petitioner getting confirmation about the case number yes they do I am petitioning for my fiancé and received a letter from NVC this week with the case number and other details like when they got our case and what embassy it was being sent to etc.

[Caroline + Angelo 20]

The Consulate in Germany still hasn't received the petition. I am getting worried now NVC told my fiance last Friday it was forwarded to the Embassy, but whether it went out on Friday or was picked up on Monday, it should be there by now, shouldn't it??

I think you just need a copy of the transcript. So if he can scan it and you can print it, you'll probably be fine. I'm only sending a copy, myself.
