Over 2 weeks since we submitted our K1 visa - no response yet.

Hi All! We submitted our K1 packet and delivery was confirmed via FedEx on 10/30. I included the G-1145 form as well for electronic notifications, but I haven't received any notifications yet. I know things are very slow these days; however, pre-COVID timelines were averaging 7 days until first NOA1 per this website, so I'm trying to gage at what point I should start asking questions. 

 

Should I be worried? How do I follow up? Any one else having the same experience with recent submissions? 

 

Thanks so much!

Up to 30 days currently is not unusual.   Its called a pandemic

Back in 2018 even before the pandemic it took me 21 days to get notifications after I sent my K1 package. So, 30 days now is actually pretty good.

No need to follow-up. Normal processing of the issuance for a NOA1 is about 2-3 weeks. You are earlier in your expectations. A couple of key factors to look for is 1) has your tracking indicated the package was received? 2) Has your form of payment been executed? Having those two completed then you are close to receiving your NOA1.
