K1- Process

[chellie 0]

It's been 1 month since our petition is approved. My fiance got a letter of notice of action and until then we still didn't get any letter. And we're just bother what next step should we do since we didn't get any letter from NVC. How long is it usually? And on the the approval notice it's valid until 5/31/19. And it's been 1 month now..

Read the above. Start calling the NVC to see if they received your case.

 

Don’t worry about the expiration date. The Consulate/Embassy has the ability to extend the validity of the petition. In fact, there are some very busy Embassies that they never get to interview anyone before the petition first expiration.

Which embassy are you applying at?

Hi.  I received our case # within 2 weeks.  It varies.  You might want to contact NVC @603-334-0700 or 603-334-0888.  The 0888 # worked out better for me, so you can try that one first.  They are open 7:00 am & probably the best time to call.  It can take several weeks before you hear anything from them.  The K-1 seems to be a little faster & spousal visa takes longer.  Ask if they have received your case & also do they have a case # for you.  Best wishes.
