Freaking out about letter from NVC

[redstripe54 42]

Just a little general advice from me when you are going through this journey, just chill a bit more, by your phase " it is just such a sudden occurrence, as I was not expecting anything but a packet 3 at this point" remember this a Government procedure which can be slow and in some cases bungled ( you're lucky going through California) imagine waiting 6-12 months for NOA2 like those in Texas? That is stress.

Sometimes letters are never sent, my packet 3 was sent to a complete stranger in London because they messed the case number up, documents go missing, and in my case on interview in London, the CO started by saying " I see you have been in prison for 23 years " imagine how I felt when in fact he meant " I see you've been in the Police for 23 years" The day before my interview, the Embassy had a power outage and most of the interviews were cancelled and rescheduled for 3 weeks later, imagine that. So as you can see not everything will go simple and logical, step by step, you have to be ready for the unexpected! Try not to get so freaked out on and go with the flow.

Got the exact same letter, a couple of times actually, sent to my fiance's house. It was basically just a mail conformation about the case numbers and where they were sending my package to.

Dont worry

It's normal I got about two letters from NVC it just has my case number and says we got your mailig address and other information nothing important really

Call me crazy....and pardon me for being way out of line, but ummm.....instead of freaking out and asking a bunch of total strangers to guess-timate what it could be...why not have your Mom open it? I know this is thinking way out of the box...but its just a suggestion!

Sorry, just read where you said its a "private matter"....kindly scratch my previous suggestion! Best of luck, Im sure its nothing bad!

Oh...if that's the case, thank you soooo much for the reassurance. I'm really hoping that is the case. My concern manifests from the fact that this is the first time hearing that the NVC sends a letter to the petitioner (if anything my mindset was NOA1 NOA2, then PACKET 3 rather than a letter confirming that the NVC sent out the case)

As far as I know they were always supposed to send the petitioner a letter, for most it just took forever before they actually got the letter.

This is what it looks like. This is an example picture I found online:

Our letter just contained our information and the embassy in Germany. It's time to relax .

Guarantee this is what it is.....

likely non-issue

The reason you called NVC to get your number is because you didn't want to have to wait for this letter to arrive. That's all that letter (likely) is-- confirmation that they received it, and giving you your number. Your application was forwarded to the embassy before this letter was sent out party because K1s spend basically zero time at NVC (just long enough to get routed to embassies unlike other visas that get processed there) and partly because NVC is apparently that far behind.

Please ask your Mom to open the envelope already! The suspense is killing me!!!!

I've gotten multiples of the same letters from the same govt. body .... just different post codes that sent them and diferent post dates, i suppose they were making sure i was getting the letters... lol

Ah there's no point of asking people here to guess what the letter is when u can actually find out yourself by asking your mum to open the letter. U said its private but would u rather stress about it and be paranoid and ask around and waste your time researching when the obvious solution to this is by opening it. I'm just saying.

So....5 days. Formal request for update after the freaking. Post haste. I want answers

Alright so apparently my mother recieved a letter from the NVC (currently I am abroad so I won't be receiving it for a few days so I am panicking right now).

It looks like this:

I know it is not much, but I cannot imagine why the NVC would send a letter to me and I'm getting really paranoid and stressed out about it. After all, my case was approved by the UCIS in September 30th, and I called the NVC and got my case number 2 weeks ago (as well as them confirming that they sent the case to Seoul Korea. Also the NVC site still indicates that my case is still in transit.). Soooo...what could they possibly be contacting me about? Not to mention the ominous "Return Service Requested" which I cannot find very much info about at all in the K1 Visa section (I did find some interesting comments in the CR-1 in terms of the NVC returning the case file back to UCIS but they already told me they sent the case to Seoul already so...)

Yeah...I'm really freaking out about this. I'm really terrified about the contents as I have to wait a several days for this to arrive from the states.

So...could anyone possibly shed some light on what this could possibly be? Gah...I'm really stressed out as it is SOOOO close.
