I called NVC !! and got a bad news

That video you posted is for tracking to your consulate.

That's not for a while.

Exactly, I am tracking it already as of when I am going to receive it in my consulate.

[goodlucklife 44]

Is this for a k1 129f

[goodlucklife 44]

Yes, but it isn't the norm.

K1 visa historical take 7 to 10 days

Other visas are much longer ....

Sigh... Now I understand the 129f will take longer than 10 days

I did read that you beneficiary can all the consulate ( depending on country) to see if they have the case number

i got approved on March 27 and my got letter from the NVC on April 20 so you have to wait 3-4 weeks till the NVC got the case , once the NVC got the case you will get a new case number and you can do the medical exam with it , and after 2-3 weeks the NVC will send your case to the embassy so you don`t have to wait those 2-3 weeks to do the medical exam.

They told me the SAME thing and nvc received my case the very next day. I think its just protocol to make you expect the worst. It will be there call everyday.

That timeline sounds Ok ... shouldn't worry about it.

Dear All commentators

Thank you very much for all your helpful answers & comments, I am appreciated. so keeping is the only way we can I will ring them again if the timeline takes longer than the date the NVC officer gave us.

I think they are doing the cases which approved in early of June. Good luck too all

I've been waiting for almost two months. I got our noa2 on April 18th and still nothing. I call everyday and they tell me to send emails to research. Ive sent 3 emails so far and only got one response which basically said to scan and emai, a copy of our noa2 which I had already included in the email they were responding to!! It's very frustrating bc everyone said after our noa2 the process would be a lot quicker. :/

i did the same with NVC, but also called USCIS and asked them to initiate a service request. I did that on 6/18, and they said they would have an answer to me by July 3 (I'm hopeful, but not holding my breath - haha). I'm trying to attack the problem from both ends - sender and receiver. Just thought you might want to try the same. Good luck to all of us.

Two months - that's discouraging to hear. I don't understand how some files take so long, and others take just a week. It's so arbitrary and ridiculous.

the problem lies at the local offices and how they forward them to the nvc.. this is the unknown for the ir/cr1 approvals.. some have taken as much as 90 days

I had the same issue.. have you made an infopass? your file is sitting at the local office still unless it has been sent to nvc already... you can get lots of info if you go to the local office that approved your petition..

I been waiting for more than two months going for the 2 1/2 i got an email from NVC that USCIS retained my case... anyone knows why or how long does it take to send it?

I would contact USCIS customer service and tell them to submit service request to transfer your file to NVC. I just did that for my file 2 days ago. I received NOA2 on May 13, and NVC still has no record of receiving it. I call them every day, but still no sign of it. I submitted research request email to NVC, but still haven't heard anything yet.

What is an infopass, and how do you request one for the CSC?

Make Info Pass by using the USCIS web site. The meeting is held at the closest USCIS office to your location. You can not meet with CSC staff.

Yes, the problem is the local offices! When my case was first transferred from CSC it ended up getting misfiled and it took them 4 months to fix their mistake. I finally got my NO2 after waiting almost two years and now I have no idea why it's taking so long to transfer.

An infopass seems like the best thing for me. It just sucks bc I've been to two infipasses before and they've both been a disaster. This whole process is just so stressful

They only give 4 choices for type of appointment. And none of those choices seems to apply:

We offer 4 kinds of appointments for a case that you have already filed. Please choose from the following - Order from Immigration Court - If you were directed to us for processing based on an order from the Immigration Judge. You must bring all documents required in the post order instructions given to you by the court.

Case Processing Appointment - If you received a notice to go to your local office for further case processing.

EAD inquiry appointment - If your I-765 employment authorization application has been pending for more than 90 days.

Case Services follow-up appointment - If it has been over 45 days since you contacted NCSC and have not received a response to your inquiry. You must bring the Service Request ID Number related to your inquiry to the appointment.

Which of these 4 is the right one to choose?
