July 2018 NOA2 ----> NVC

We are finally "in transit" as well! Awesome prediction @JoelThai! Very happy 😊.

Does anyone else’s “In transit” message say “your interview date was provided to you by the NVC”? What interview date are they referring too? I kinda jumped ahead and booked our interview date for late September (that’s typical for people petitioning in Haiti to do that) after doing the necessary DS-160 steps. Is that the interview date they’re referring to?

 

All insight is welcomed & much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Mine says that too, but from what I've heard, that pertains to spousal visas and not fiancé visas - you should still be fine with the date you selected for your interview.

I have a question regarding booking the medical. 

I'm sorry if this has already been asked, I've read most of the pages and couldn't see it.

 

I emailed the NVC last Friday and got a reply today with the new case number but haven't received anything in writing. The email reads: 

This petition is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. You will be notified with further instructions when the processing is complete.  

 

When I track the case number online it says 'At NVC'.  

I understand that I wait for the P3 to arrive before booking the interview but can I go ahead and book the medical now I have the new case number or does awaiting further instructions mean I will be told when I can do that?

 

I was going to be patient and wait to receive something in writing for the further instructions but after reading this forum I see there is a long wait for the medical. So if I can get a bit ahead that would be great.

 

I am doing this process in London if that makes any difference.

 

Thanks and congratulations to everyone for getting this far!

Thank you so much! I was worried there for a second 😅

You can go ahead and book the medical with just the case number. There is at least a month long wait to get a medical date. You will need to wait until the case tracker says the case has been received by the consulate and is "ready" to book an interview date. You don't need to wait for anything for London you can do everything yourself now

Yes we are in Transit as well, you are a genius for figuring out the pattern.

Yes, one of the mysteries of the K1 process uncovered!

An interesting observation....   I am looking at the K1 Fiancé Visa Timeline data here on VJ and it looks like the NVC batches mailing to the Consulates  every two weeks.

 

I can see large number of users who recorded "NVC Left" on June 26, July 10th and July 24th.   There are a few in between, but only 1 or 2 per day.  But on the batch days I see several dozen recorded.   

 

So, if your petition is currently "At NVC", such as myself, I believe we will likely leave the NVC on August 7th.

As we are discovering, it looks like many of us are getting switched to "In Transit" today, including myself. 😃  Congratulations to everyone who is received the news.   If your petition has been "At NVC" and you have the Case #, today is a good day to check your status with the NVC Case tracker.    

 

https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx

 

For those that are expecting to get an update, but do not see one, do not panic yet.  Sometimes there is "bleed over" of updates onto the next day, so try to be a little more patient.  Check back tonight and again tomorrow if you do not yet see your expected update.

 

For those whose petitions arrived after late last week (Friday), you will probably be waiting until the 14th for the next batch.   But I think it is a least a little bit easier to wait when you know what to expect, so hopefully that is useful information.

 

Cheers and see you at the Embassy!

Status changed today to "In Transit".

I believe I read that the petitioner receives an email that can then be used at Medical in countries that require proof of approval.

I have not received any email and only seen an update on CEAC case tracker.  Should I be expecting an email or does it need to be requested?  Perhaps @Naes knows.  Thanks.

@Greenbaum thank you for the tag. (2 more days till poe!)

@Akiko & Brad

Hi

 

She can schedule medical with the NVC number, I’d suggest giving 10 day in between because she will need to show NVC mail at the medical which is sent in when the case goes to transit (just print it and take it with you), 

 

Try to check my embassy review for tokyo, I wrote as detailed as I can and tag me if you need anything  

 

We now have the case "In Transit".

 

Is the NVC mail you reference an email or physical mail item?  Does it come automatically or do I need to request it?  We seem to be ready to schedule medical and I would like to know before she makes the call for the appointment when she gets up tomorrow.

Thanks

It should have reached you when it went to transit. It is an email from NVC comes with an attachment (I think k1-FTP). It usually goes to the petitioner as that is the address stated on the petition.

 

if this does not reach you, the embassy will send you the package with a copy of it, (in japan it gets to you in about 3 to 10 days) you can schedule it a bit far and then change it if necessary tho.

Correction...  My prediction is the next NVC "In Transit" batch will go out on the 21st.   The current process appears to be every 2 weeks.

Thanks.  I will call the NVC today and see if they can send an email.  (I already checked all my spam filters and it was not there).😐
