Just called NVC

[nicefuture 0]

I just called NVC and this time got a live person. I was told that the case was received and new case number was assigned. But when I check the case status on-line, it says "cannot find this case number". Does anybody knows if we can still track case status with NVC on the website where we used to track status with the service center? Thank you for reading my post and waiting eagerly for your reply.

NVC is under Department of State, and USCIS is part of Home Land Security, 2 different departments of the government. USCIS will not have case status for DOS cases.

You need to give it a few weeks, then contact the Embassy or Consulate that your case is going to.

Since you have no data in your profile like Visa type, Beneficiaries country, or a timeline I cannot give you a better idea what to do after it leaves NVC.

Hi YuAndDan,

Thank you for your reply. I had my timeline at the bottom of my post. We applied for K1 and the bebeficiary country is China.

I also got to know from NVC that our case is under AR and need to wait about a month.

Yes that is about right, NVC tends to take up to 4 weeks. The Consulate in Guangzhou tends to take 3 months to "receive" the case after it leaves NVC, this will test your patients. No way to track the case at that consulate, other than calling NVC once or twice a week, The automated phone service will have status using DOS case number.

One more thing you may want to check out http://candleforlove.com They have a lot of useful info regarding that consulate, and Chinese/American relationships.

Hi YuAndDan,

Are K1 applications involving Chinese all subject to AR? I noticed in this forum that most cases didn't go through AR at all.
