K1 Visa - Still waiting on US Embassy/Consulate in fiance's country to contact fiance

[ar38113 0]

Hi everyone,

 

I received the following message on Mar, 31, 2020:

 

The National Visa Center (NVC) received your fiancé (e)’s/spouse’s approved I-129F petition from U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS). NVC will now forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Seoul, South
Korea. Please note that the transfer process can take several weeks. The U.S. Embassy or Consulate will contact your
fiancé (e)/spouse when they are ready to process his or her petition.

 

It's now May and neither of us have received any kind of update regarding an interview or next steps. Is there anything else I should be doing? It may just be due COVID19 stalling the process but I wanted to make sure. I do not have an invoice number and when I track the case using the CEAC website, the site tells me the case is still in transit.

Exactly... Immigration after approval is almost at a standstill now as embassies are closed. Some embassies still receive cases but they will not process until the ban is lifted.

I'd wait until the consulate opens.   Then proceed with the ds-160.

Nothing to do as there is no progress.

Embassies are not interviewing and NVC has completely stopped normal K-1 cases from being shipped to the embassies. Patience my friend.
