Hello! My fiancee and I applied for the K1 visa in May of last year. Several days ago I sent an email inquiring about the status of our case with the NVC(we had received the NOA2 in November) and I received a return email saying that my fiancee's application had been entered in to the system and we were sent a case number and all the information pertaining to her case, but in the email it did not say that the case had been sent on its way to the US embassy where my fiancee lives, but rather that the case had been entered.

 

My question is: How do I know if the paperwork has been transferred to the embassy or if it is still being processed by the NVC since it did not specify in the email? Should I just assume that the application has been mailed? Assuming doesn't seem to be the right choice in a matter as serious as a K1 visa!

Second question: if the application has been mailed to the embassy, what has been the average time between embassy receiving the application and the interview, for those of you who've gone through the process with the US Embassy in Sarajevo?

 

About 3 weeks ago I spoke with a woman working at the NVC and she told me that all they do is enter the information, give a case number, and then send the application to the US embassy specified in the application.

Did they give you a case number?
