MARCH 2023 K1 to NOA2 to NVC to EMBASSY

[JojoandTomas 212]

Welcome and Congratulations on your approval!

 

 This thread was created for those who are waiting for their NOA2  K-1 case assignment from NVC and then tracking your case onwards to your Embassy.  
 

A few helpful NVC links:

 

 NVC phone number is  (603)334-0888

 🚨  Please note:  They are currently NOT answering queries over the phone! 🚨

 

They are answering through the below email :
 

➡️  NVCinquiry@state.gov ⬅️

Once you’ve received your NVC case number you can track your case online using the following link, until it is sent to your embassy:

https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=IV

If you need to change an address or need to update your info in anyway NVC has a public inquiry form where you can submit your request as well as other requests:

 

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html

 

 

Inside the attached PDF below are a few tips, tricks and hacks to help you along the way.

These are items that everyone asks for, so they have been put together by VJ Member Greenbaum for you to refer to when necessary. If you are new to this thread, please read first as these are the most asked questions.

NVC sends petitions every two weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Someone very helpful has created a chart for 2023 that you can use to track when the next shipment date will be. It seems to line up with all the dates I’ve seen so far so I think it’s accurate and will include it below.

As far as creating an account with the NVC, do we need to wait for the physical approval of I-129F from the USCIS?

 

Thanks!

hi! what do you mean create an account with the NVC? My understanding is that we use the public inquiry form to contact them until we get a case #? thanks!

[Silky 41]

From what I have read and researched, this next step takes around 6-8 weeks of waiting

The next steps are to wait and do nothing else (unless you have special circumstances). You don’t have to use Public Inquiry unless you need to change your embassy location or need to make changes. What’s happening now your approval petition will be sent to NVC and they will assign you a case number. From there you have to you’ll receive a case number. And then it’ll move to the embassy that’s designated to your fiancé. Now you can fill out DS-160 Online Nonimmigrant Application.
