Hi Everyone!

Also curious if anyone else is currently going from USCIS to NVC to US Embassy right now and can give an idea of timelines. We just received an RFE, so we're hopeful that we should get USCIS approval soon.

 

Thanks to anyone for the help!

It took about 2 weeks for Embassy receive my fiancé case from NVC. We didn’t get an email from them until a week and half later after emailing them regarding the instructions on how to proceed.

Thank you SO much for your prompt response. We're not following your timeline! Good luck with it all and enjoy your move to the USA.

 

Cheers,

Hello everyone, I'm so glad to have finally found this thread! I've been searching for anyone else who is going through the K-1 process with a Panamanian partner. My fiance and I received our NOA1 in July, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can so that we are as prepared as possible for the next step. (And of course, would love to get a sense of what timeline we should expect!) I also found a page on this site for the US Embassy in Panama that has pretty detailed info on waiting times for different steps, ie. Waiting Time for Interview After Consulate Recieves NVC Package, and waiting period for the visa to be issued once approved. Could anyone confirm whether the information on that page is still accurate? Thanks!!
