I sent the Vancouver embassy an email right away as I read about the approval. They told me they will send information once they receive the approval from them. So it seems as though the Nebraska Service center approved it but have not got around to sending that approval to the consulate. I would think that would be something that is done instantly but seems like its taking its time to inform the consulate. =/ The longer they take the longer we wait.....

Embassies generally wait to receive the hard copy of the I-601 approval before sending out an Instruction Letter. The average I've seen from Approval to Visa in hands is of about a month.

Congrats on your approval!

Thanks, our embassy reached out to us today, we are concerned because we know that the police records take over 3 months to be sent, it also looks like we have to interview again and bring in a whole new K-1 binder like the first time around.
