I’m not any kind of attorney but I would say yes. I say this because USCIS has nothing to do with the Embassy or the countries laws. And K1 is a non-immigrant Visa but just handles like it is an immigrant visa. So I guess short answer is yes, as long as you qualify for it. Also, the NVC doesn’t require anything for the K1 so it gets a case number and gets sent to the embassy where your partner lives.

I’m not any kind of attorney but I would say yes. Each case is treat seperatly. No one except those on the "watch list" of countries will experience a delay others are processed the same. Sex has nothing to do with it. I say this because USCIS has nothing to do with the Embassy Embassies are U.S Embassies and are under the management of DOS (http://www.udxf.nl/US-Dept-of-State.pdf} or the countries laws. Each embassy will have a contingent of CO from the hosting countries which you must past through and be held accountable to their laws. Most past through with no problems. And K1 is a non-immigrant Visa but just handles like it is an immigrant visa. So I guess short answer is yes, as long as you qualify for it. Also, the NVC doesn’t require anything for the K1 so it gets a case number and gets sent to the embassy where your partner lives. 

NVC doe requires certain things to be completed on the approved application from USCIS. 

 

When NVC receives the approved 129f from USCIS, They check to ensure that it’s been stamped. Occasionally NVC will receive a petition from USCIS and it does not have the appropriate approval stamp in the upper left-hand corner. NVC is also checking to make sure that the three criminal questions have been answered. NVC noted that there are times when the petitioner will forget to complete those questions and those questions are subsequently missed by the adjudicator.  In both of these instances, the case will then be sent back to USCIS. If one of these things occur NVC would know within the first week of receiving the case.

 

I hope my information helps with the questions that the OP presented.

NO they do not get expedited same sex. You are correct, it is not part of the expedited requirements.

Just like I meant, NVC does not require anything from the beneficiary like the I130 does. You’re talking about mistakes made at USCIS. So I stand correct with my comment. We can what if all day.

Relax dude. The information I provide is to help you but also others. You were wrong in many of the other things you opined about hence I found it necessary to correct that information also. I had noticed you didn't thank me for the corrections. Taking something personal doesn't help the situation. Best to you.

I have mailed my petition on 12/16 via UPS. Petition delivered on 12/19. I have not received a NOA as of today, 12/23. Should I be concerned?

No not at all just give it a bit more time.  Don't forget it's the holiday season.

I think the President gave federal workers an extra day off on X-mas eve.  So, add an extra day to our wait.

 

Welcome Rob Beri, join the club.

Will do. I guess I am being a little impatient. Hopefully, I can deliver the news to you all during this week.

1-3 weeks is the normal turnaround time after they have received your file and cashed your check.
