waiting for k-1 package (morocco)

[anetayad 0]

Hello Anyone with the same case,

I have file my I-29 back in March, and was approved from USCIS, in July 25th, I have the Impression that my Fiancee should recieve a package from US Embassy In Morocco, by this Month in September, and kept thinking it will only take 6 months processing, So, out of frustration I contacted NVC, AND I was told via Phone responded that was forwarded to embassy in September the 12th, and it seems taking a little longer than I expected, and until now my fiancee still have not recieve a instruction package from embassy and it kinda frustrating. and as my fiancee and I check the ceac.state tracker of ourcase it was stating a Immigrant visa, i was a bit confused how it become from non Immigrant to the status of Immigrant bcuz, any unconditional case like Fiancee visa is consider a non Immigrant visa, so ples anyone can answer my confused and frustrating curcumstances. thank you

The K-1 is a "hybrid" visa -- a nonimmigrant visa with immigrant intent. This is why the K-1 is processed by the Immigrant Visa Unit in the consulates.

Salaam Anetayed:

Actually, TBoneTX is correct. The K-1 visa is an immigrant visa with an intent to transition to a non-immigrant visa. So it gets treated a little differently than other types. That said, If the case was only sent to Casablanca on September 12th, you're okay on time. It generally takes a couple of weeks for the document to arrive and be "received" at the consular office there. When we were going through that part of the process, we received word that the NVC had sent his case to the consulate almost a month before he got the Packet 3. You don't have any cause for concern at this time, based on my experience.
