Hi,

I have just received the NOA2 from mail yesterday, but it says the petition was approved and forwarded to the ShangHai, China consulate and please contact the ShangHai consulate with any questions about visa issurance. I thought all K-1 visa go to the Guangzhou consulate in China. Has the process changed?

Thank you,

Jieyi

This happened with me, Brazil in my case, but at the wrong consulate. I got all worried and contacted everyone! Even the CSC! In the end the service centers don't make the decisions about which consulate it goes to (so it is beyond me why they put the consulates on the NOA2). Anyway, once it gets to the NVC they will assign it to the correct consulate without any problems.

It'll get homed to the right place at NVC, once the casefile hits at NVC.

No worries.

Did it mention NVC on your NOA2? We have the problem, it just said the petition was approved and forward to Shanghai consulate, didn't mention NVC, will the case be sent to NVC? Very upset, because I see the content of the NOA2 from others are different from mine.

You are applying for F-1 Visa instead of K-1, maybe this is the reason.

All approved I-129F petitions go through the NVC. They are assigned a case # and forwarded to the appropriate consulate from there.

I applied K-1 not F-1,I checked on my profile，it is K-1,it is weird you see as F-1,A&B also said that to me before.

Yes, and it still shows "F-1" not "K-1."

Click on the timeline link provided in my signature, look for "Add/Edit My Entry", click on it. Then click on "Edit timeline." Scroll down to "visa type."

scroll up/down to "K-1," click on it. Go down to the left side at the very bottom of that long page, click on "Submit Changes." That should correct it.

HTH,

Good luck.
