3 months since NVC forwarded petition and... nothing?

[Mlyck 0]

Just created an account here, and I'm a bit confused / worried.

We received an email from NVC that they will forward the approved petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Sockholm, Sweden (I'm from Denmark, but it looks like that's the closest Embassy that conducts K1 visa interviews).

That was on April 27th 2021...

Since then we haven't heard anything, not even a confirmation the the Embassy has received our petition.

 

From what we read online about the process this would usually take days or a few weeks, but it has been 3 months now.

Has this happened to anyone else? If so how long did you have to wait to hear back from the Embassy? Will they send you an email that they received it, or will the next contact be a time to setup an appointment for the interview?

That's what the site says

 

Immigrant visas to the United States are processed for citizens and residents of Denmark at the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm. You can view information on their phased resumption of immigrant visa services here: https://se.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/

@JeanneAdil Yeah I saw that in June when it was released.

All that says is that they started processing K-1 Visas on June 2nd. (I'm a K-1 visa applicant), but it gives no clue to timeframes.

What I'm asking for is anyone else around the world is stuck in the same issue, or know if you are supposed to receive a confirmation from the Embassy that they've received your petition?

The only timeframe I've gotten was from the NVC (last contact) which says it could take "the transfer process can take several weeks" (weeks, not months)

If it's so backed up that they haven't even responded after 3 months of waiting. Maybe some one else is on here in the same process which could possibly give a hint to a time frame🤞

You might want to check out the Scandinavian thread in the regional forum, I’ll leave a link below. Someone recently said that the consulate is working on cases that have been ready since October 2020… so it might be a while before they’ll contact you.

Also it would be highly appreciated if you fill out your timeline and consulate info. This will help others answer you most accurately.
