APRIL 2023 K1 to NOA2 to NVC to EMBASSY

[Phillybears 11]

Nothing yet, but it looks like there's more movement lately in the march group, which is promising.

I wonder if anyone are at NVC yet, as some of us approach 60 days

37 days

You can look at https://www.visajourney.com/times/k1-fiance-visa-historical/, specifically step 3 to get a general sense of processing times and most recently processed, keeping in mind that not all VJ members update their timeline and that processing isn't necessarily happening in chronological order.  But at least you can see that 1+ early April member has completed this step and get an overall idea of what the times might look like in the subsequent steps.

Following the advice in the march group, we called earlier this week. We're at 60 days since approval next week, and USCIS confirmed our approval is in the system, but the case hasn't yet been forwarded to NVC. They said they can only open a case after 90 days wait. 

 

Welp. So much for us getting to spend the summer together. Again.

37 days for us too, still waiting...

Friendly reminder that once you guys hit 60+ days of waiting for your cases to be transferred to the NVC, you can put in a request for case assistance to the CIS Ombudsman.

 

Some from my March group have now been waiting for 100 days without a word, so I think all of us need to start taking action.

I feel like anything we do at this point will just tie up more resources and take longer unfortunately.

The CIS Ombudsman isn't directly affiliated with USCIS, so contacting them won't take up any resources. They'll just poke USCIS and tell them it's time to move your case. Which might be your only shot in case your upcoming transfer ends up in eternal limbo like some of ours, since they actually have some authority and are there purely to assist people like us.

NOA2 was 4/4, so we just passed 60 days.  Called USCIS this morning to see if our case has been sent to NVC yet and on which day.  They confirmed to have sent our case to NVC on 6/1.  Gives me hope that we'll be hearing from NVC soon.

this is great to hear, thanks for sharing.

If you don't mind sharing, what number did you call for USCIS and did you ask to talk to someone specific?

Sure.  I called 800-375-5283, which is the USCIS live assistance number.  When it asked what I needed help on, I replied "info pass" and this connected me to a representative.

I sent an email inquiring about our petition status on June 4 and received a reply this morning that the NVC has received it! Our NOA2 was April 4th. 
 

Best of luck to everyone still waiting, it’ll happen soon! 💕
