NVC processing time?

[JohnWe 0]

We have been at NVC for 3 weeks now. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a time limit to processing a petition. We are filing a K1 and it is my understanding that the K1 at NVC, before it goes to the embassy, is just a matter of logging the petition and shipping it to the embassy. So do they have a deadline to process your case? Are there any options to expedite or to find out what is exactly holding up the process?

An honest answer, I have no idea though NVC says need to wait up 6-8 weeks before forwarded to embassy. I am still long way to go but better to look up to this timeline. Based on this timeline, I will start calling NVC next week.

Usually it's only a few days to a week that a K1 case is with NVC before it is forwarded to the embassy. But sometimes cases will require additional processing and there is no timeline for that. You could try calling the NVC and asking to speak to a manager about your case. They will likely give you a broad and vague-ish response about what is holding up your case, but at least it would be a response.
