Oh my Gosh! I can't believe it! I check the USCIS website literally everyday... and the information finally changed!!


"Post Decision Activity

On September 12, 2014, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283."


Can anyone help me out -- What's Next? Do I wait for the package to come? Or can I start filling out the next forms now (DS160.. etc)?


Thanks for any advice! :)

I got an E-mail and a letter from USCIS with the same statement! It took a couple of days after the e-mail to receive the letter. Both Notices dated August 12th

Then I received a letter from the NVC dated August 25th.

The letter had our Case #, and USCIS reciept #, as well as our names and location of interview. The NVC letter stated that they are forwarding our I-129 to the embassy in the country of interview. This letter states the consulate will contact her when they are ready to process. It also recommends to go online to ceac.state.gov and complete DS-160 to apply for K visa.

Here is what the Visa Status reads at ceac.state.gov

U.S. Department of State
IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION
Ready
Immigrant Visa Case Number:xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Case Creation Date: 21-Aug-2014 Status Updated Date: 03-Sep-2014
Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at:http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3731.html

For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV.

It is nice to have things moving a bit faster.

Congratulations. To you, and thanks to all here at visajourney.

Congratulations on your NOA2. You should receive a hard copy of the NOA2 in the mail. Your electronic status on uscis may or may not changed to sent to NVC. If it does, great. If it doesn't that just means the way to know it was sent there is to call them and have them tell you that they received it. Or you can wait to get The letter from the NVC. The normal amount of wait time. VJers tend to recommend before calling is 7-10 days but I'd give it 14 if that status doesn't change. Once you get to talk to someone at NVC and they state that they have your packet, you want to know the case number and if/when it's been sent to the embassy. With the case number from NVC you can check your status on ceac.state.gov and begin working on the DS-160

K-1 from Haiti - NOA1: 5/27/2014; NOA2: 7/8 USCIS never updated to say that it was sent to the NVC (just in case you're as concerned about your status not updating as I was about mine)
NVC Case Number Received: 7/31; Left NVC: 8/1 - tracked via DHL website; CEAC Status - Ready: 8/7; Packet 3 Received: 9/5 - Beneficiary received packet / Medical Completed: 9/19;
DS-160 Submitted: 9/22 - (CEAC date updated); Packet 3 Submitted: 9/26; Packet 4 Received: 10/24; Interview Date: 11/6 @ 7 am Interview Result: Approved!
CEAC Status Issued: 11/10; USTraveldocs.com finally acknowledged Fiance's passport actually in their system: 11/20; Passport Received: 11/21;

POE: 11/23/2014; Wedding: 2/14/2015

Hello. Our application has been with the NVC now for 9 days. The CEAC Status plage just says 'At NVC'. The Operators say the same thing. We do have the Case # however which was given a day after they received it. Apparently they told us it is in Administrative Processing.

What do we do now besides the usual waiting?
