when i try it, it says Your search did not return any data.

i don't know where is the problem :/

Maybe you took the Case number down wrong. Or it's not live on the system yet?

Check the screen shot I took. Is that the page you are logging into?

Hi guys,

So, we were approved on the 26th (I found out via app) and today I received the hardcopy in the mail. The weird thing is that I also received a somewhat confusing email about an hour ago that states:

"On August 26, 2016, we approved your Form I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), Receipt Number WAC1690518508. We will mail your approval notice. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations. "

What does this mean exactly? Does this mean that they are just now sending my approval to the NVC? Or does it mean that the NVC now knows that I've been approved? I assumed that they sent out my approval to the NVC on the 26th, so that's why I'm confused..

Hey Sue&Moe,

We were approved on the 26th Aug as well and so we waited 4-5 days before we emailed the NVC, i didn't want to call because i heard you could be waiting on the phone for hours - which, i might say is not my favorite thing to do LOL. Moving forward, the NVC emailed us back within the last 24 hours and they said they haven't received our file yet , maybe this will help you with a time frame. I have a feeling they send a whole batch out at once from the USCIS to the NVC, again i could be speculating.

We only received our email from the USCIS today with our approval, the same saying what your letter said. i just assume that it will go to the NVC and it should be there at some stage in the next week.

I called NVC friday. They received my file on thursday, but had not assigned a number yet. They said up to two weeks to assign a number. What is the real time I can get that number?

It's best to begin calling 10 business days after you get your text message (NOA2). You will need the Petitioner's and Beneficiaries full name and date of birth.

Call 603-334-0700 or 603-334-0888 Be prepared for a wait. Tell the operator that you are requesting a case number for your K-1. They will ask for the receipt number located on the left top of your I-797 (NOA2) form. Then he/she will either tell you that they have not received your case or you will be asked for the names and date of birth. If they don't have the case, you will be told it can take 30 to 45 days for them to receive it and to wait however many days/weeks and call back. That's a pad answer so ignore it. You can call back the next day or as often as you want. NVC's hours are 7am to 12 am (midnight) eastern time. Monday through Friday except Federal Holidays. Calling early at 7 am on the dot will get you in the fastest or calling late the lines to be open most often.

When you have your case number, enter it here https://ceac.state.g...ker/status.aspx and it will tell you one of three things... At NVC, In Transit, or Ready.

Also, The K-1 process is quite strange. For a time, it is both a non immigrant and immigrant visa type. As you go through the stages, within the NVC/CEAC system you look up your file under immigrant. It stays that way until after approval and ready for issue. At that point, it changes over to non-immigrant. It truly is a non immigrant visa with immigrant intent. Hard to explain why but that is how it is. So if you run into a page you are looking up and you get a "null" return, then try the other classification. (immigrant then non-immigrant).

For those of you who are processing in the Philippines get acquainted with this guide (http://tinyurl.com/ob9xoa8) as it walks you through the entire process for the Philippines. Forms, where to pay, how much to pay, do I pay in USD or Peso's, why is this and where do I find that; those are the questions the website will answer for you.

I am thinking you are choosing Nonimmigrant type, when actually it supposed to be immigrant type.

Take a loo please when you are on NVC status check, maybe that is a reason you don't see your case.

Great work! you will be very soon together!
