Here is the path for your application USCIS --------> NVC ------> USEM. You're getting a standard letter for someone who is of immigrant status which you are for a time being then when your visa is issue, your case changes to non-immigrant with immigrant intent. They treat the K-1 as a different species. Everything is moving along for you nicely.

Is there a preferred way to update address with NVC? NOA2 is dated 02Jul19, and I am moving (military) at the end of the month.

Petitioner updates address with USCIS and not NVC. Your file is only with NVC for just a short period of time. Beneficiary updates with DS-160 and at the interview to facilitate the delivery of the visa once it's issued.

 

Here is the online form:  

It's what USCIS says to do (see "Have pending applications or petitions..." row):

Well now you know so you can help others.

 

The K-1 process is quite strange. For a time, it is both a non-immigrant and immigrant visa type. That is why the links (what you received in the email) will send you the process for immigrant which would be the I-864 and DS-260 even though it truly is a non-immigrant visa requiring I-134 and the DS-160. As you go through the stages, within the NVC system you look up your file under immigrant (ceac.state.gov/). It stays that way until after your interview and the approval and your visa is ready for issue. At that point, it changes over to non-immigrant. It truly is a non-immigrant visa with immigrant intent.

So means i should need the I 864 and ds260 not the I134 and Ds160?

No it means just the opposite. You have "immigrant" status but you are really a "non-immigrant" and so you prepare the I-134 and the DS-160. The immigrant status is just temporary until such time that you visa is issued and then it reverts to non-immigrant status. In your mind, you must think of this as a non-immigrant with immigrant intentions. It's just different then all the visas out their.

If you had download the PDF and read it, it would specifically tell you that it takes 30 days to NVC, another 1-3 weeks for NVC to assign a case number and then another 1-2 week to your Embassy. Your mileage may vary.

 

So you received your NOA2 on July 1 and it hasn't been 30 days so what does that tell you? You're early. Wait a few more weeks before burning up the phone lines. JMHO.

My fiance and I are still waiting for our Interview Date but we are confident we will get it soon! It's been about a week since we got our Packet 3 and filled out the DS-160 and paid the fee. We e-mail them with all the info they requested by we still haven't heard anything yet. Does it normally take quite so long or does it depend on the consulate?

 

Nevermind, I realized there is a subforum for this and I posted there!
