Needing advice

[ANewJourney 1]

My K-1 Visa application was approved in August and forwared to the embassy in Moscow on August 22, 2013, but my fiance was never contacted by the embassy or sent any documents. Is this normal? Did I miss doing something or does it always take so long for her to be contacted?

I can use any advice!

Thanks in advance

Ya'll need to contact the embassy! Ours was the same way, we never received anything, I emailed them after 2 months and within a week we had an appointment date for 3 weeks past. I swear, I don't know how things get so confusing but it sure does! Whether it's the mail service or incompetence, I don't know but contact them as soon as possibe (and as kindly as possible!) to find out what's going on.

What have you done so far? Have you called NVC to get your case#? If not do so. Than you email the embassy with case# to find out next steps. Or check their website to get the forms and all that necessary for embassy. and scheduling interview. Gertting medical etc.

You should have first got notification of a case# from NVC can take up to 8 weeks. So you need to follow your case from USCIS to NVC to embassy start first at NVC. 603-334-0700.

Report back what you find out.

Same happened to me, except my status at the embassy went from "In transit", to ready, to AP. So two weeks after the AP update, I emailed the embassy asking when I can schedule the interview and next steps. They replied I can move forward with scheduling and provided the following:

(BTW, better hurry, the petition is good for four months from NOA2 date & The Police report takes a month regular processing speed. )

Ditto here. I got the same exact letter in an email from the Moscow embassy which I forwarded to my fiancee. After they started the new DS-160 online form, I don't think they (Moscow embassy) send out any packets by mail anymore as the email has all the necessary information.
