Just reporting that I received the offical I-797 in the mail. Two things jumped out to me: 1. It says "listed consulate" but there is none. 2. A few paragraphs but nothing about what the next steps

I just received a notification that our case has been sent to the departnemnt of state. So that means that our case is sent frm TSC to NVC, right? How long does it take NVC to send the case to the embassy in the country of the beneficiary? Thank you very much! I also got the notification text message two times.

Hey guys

I was recently approved on 4/28. My question is do I have to wait for my case status to say my case has been sent to the NVC? Or when should I start calling?

After a long wait at TSC Im very eager for things to move quickly ?

Our case was approved on April 16th. I called two days ago and the woman at NVC was very helpful, She said that they did receive our case but it's not in the system yet so I would need to give them at least a couple of more weeks. But yesterday I received a notification that our case has been sent to the state of department which is NVC. My question is how long would I need to wait for NVC to send the case to the embassy? Thanks!

Congratulations!

It depends on the embassy. What country? Some embassies only receive the approved petitions when they have interview dates available so the files sit longer at NVC. Others are shipped off as soon as they are ready, but sometimes sit longer at the embassy awaiting an appointment date. From this point on, it becomes very country specific so you should check the regional forum to see what others say about their experience.

That sounds reasonable! Thank you so much! I'll google for some forums to see what they're saying. :)

So after 40 minutes on hold the man gave me my case #!! I'm So excited I hope it goes to the embassy soon!

That's great! It shouldn't take long to arrive to the embassy. Do you remember what questions did the guy ask you?

I asked him if I could track it and he said no which is weird because I saw someone post a link where I can track and when I entered my case number of says it's still at NVC. I also asked how long until they send it to the embassy and he didn't give me a clear answer just said that I will be getting something in the mail soon.

Has anyone else noticed that once the I-129F (at least some of them) is sent from the TSC to the NVC that it can take up to 2 WEEKS of "in-transit time" for it to actually ARRIVE at the NVC? Holy hell! What kind of shipping do they use? The cheapest version of snail-mail or what???!

I was approved on 4/20. My petition sat around for 9 mother-lovin days before it left. I received the email notification that it left on the 29th. #######. Well, there's not much that can be done about it anyway, so I'll just have to sit back and hope that I don't exhaust all of my vacation time prior to the interview date. If so, I'll need to return home without my fiance and our child. And that would SUCK big time. It would be both a financial and emotional hardship for us; this process has been enough of that, so I am hoping that we can catch a break. We'll see.

9/8/14 - I129F petition sent to the USCIS lockbox via USPS
9/11/14 - Petition received @ USCIS lockbox
9/11/14 - NOA1 Email and text message received
9/15/14 - NOA1 Official notice date
9/18/14 - NOA1 hard copy received
12/9/14 - "Updated" likely because of website repairs, like many of us received
4/20/15 - NOA2 text and email (221 days)

4/29/15 - Sent to the NVC (9 days)

5/8/15 - Arrived at the NVC (9 days)

5/13/15 - Left the NVC (5 days)

5/15/15 - Electronic version arrived at the embassy (2 days)

5/20/15 - Paper copy arrived at the embassy (7 days)

6/4/15 - Status changed to AP (which meant that we could schedule the interview)

6/16/15 - Medical

6/17/15 - K1 APPROVED!!!!

6/30/15 - Passport and sealed envelope delivered via courier
