Just take a breath. Call NVC. See what they say.

This is gonna come across in the wrong tone because it's text, but this is why they tell you to wait for instructions before carrying on if they give you the number over the phone. It's honestly so that you don't lose your mind in case something funky happens!

It may be something or it may be nothing at all. Just give them a call and see what happens. It's better to catch a potential mistake early.

I have just received my first email from NVC.  They have received my file!  Not bad.  It only took 13 days to notify me about something I knew.

We are crazy and drove 5 hours to Ankara overnight for my fiance's medical interview. The appt was only 14 hours after we got his NVC number. We may have set some kind of record

I don't think you need to wait... I submitted it right after we got our case number, and had the medical appt, all before our case arrives at the embassy. Our email from NVC confirming our case number says, "In the meantime, please have your fiance(e) and his or her children visit http://ceac.state.gov and complete Form DS-160, the online nonimmigrant visa application that is used for a K visa."

I’m glad it worked for you!! 😁

its becuse a k1 is a non-immigrant Visa with immigrant intent! So for NVC processing purposes, it’s “immigrant.” It does make it more confusing.

You’re on the home stretch, friend! Happy for you.

Ok so, little update. 

My fiance just received an email from Naples embassy (where I will have the interview) that our case is there and to follow the instructions in the attached. 

Yaaaaayyyy! 

The problem is we never called nvc for our case number (lazy fiance - scared me). We also never received an email/mail from nvc with our case number and in the embassy email there is not our case number. 

Is it normal? 

We basically found out our case is ready without ever knowing it was even assigned a case number to it in the first place. 

What should we do? Any suggestions is really appreciated. Thanks! 

Second update. 

NVC just emailed fiance with our CN! 

It's funny how in the letter it says

"Please note that the transfer process can take several weeks " 

when we already know the case is there at the embassy. 

 

Thanks everyone for the support!

It depends on the embassy... did you book your medical yet? I'd start with that. For Turkey we found the packet online but you may have to wait for an email or direct mail from your embassy. You could also message someone else on VJ from Canada to figure out how the process goes from here.

We have a case number!!! 😍❤️🎊🍾🎉

Hi Kari & Atti,

 

Congrats on the case number! Do you know if yours was the option #5 or #7? Just curious since your time between NVC receiving and case number wasn't too long (much shorter than ours anyway...haha).

 

Thanks

Thank you! I would also like just an email with the CN. Do you think they will answer with it? 

The hard copy isn't sent anyway? I didn't know you had to ask for it! 

I meant to say that they will send an email. Just request in the body of your email. 

[Johannab143 14]

Received our email with the case number today! 😍 can’t wait for the next step!

It's been five days since my case was "expedited" from NVC and in transit to the US embassy in Korea.  Still listed as "in transit" for an electronic case... what gives?

@enfinity83 I know right? My fiancé (the petitioner) got two emails from NVC. One was addressed to him to inform him about them having the case and it being forwarded to the the embassy in Seoul. It also contained the case number, invoice number, etc. The second email was addressed to me (the petitioner) and informed me that the case has been expedited (no request made for expedite -- it's probably generic language) and being forwarded to the embassy in Seoul. It's been stuck on transit for two days now, so not quite as long as yours. I have however paid for and scheduled an interview date for May 1st. I'm calling the hospital today to schedule the medical for next week. The hospital we are using St Mary's said we should schedule the interview first and then bring the appointment confirmation. I just hope they don't require anything from the packet the embassy is gonna send us.

First get the checklist (Embassy Letter/P3) here https://ca.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee/appointment-checklist/

 

Next start asking your questions in the sub-forum for Canada. A lot of experts there that will help you. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/93-canada/  People here because of their infancy may or may not have the answer. When you get an answer like "you should call so and so" only muddles the whole process for others who may be trying to get through on the phone lines about something that may be more important. That's why I recommend to people to connected with their sub-forum.  

 

Additional information can be found here: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php?title=Canada 

 

Also, use the tab at the top of this page that says "Portals". Once their scroll down till you see "flags" of countries. Select Canada and you will see a wealth of information. 

 

Last is try doing a little research on your own, that's how we learn. Google is a first step as it has given me a lot of my information that I pass on to you and others. Case in point I Googled the Canadian US Embassy and searched through their tabs till I found the answer which provided me the checklist.

 

I wish you smooth sailing.
