They go by a set schedule usually right? So if they have created a case number for you, I imagine it would be sent out at the next timing?

Yes they have a set schedule, but I would like to confirm that it will be sent out at the next timing and not at the next next timing 🥺

Got our case number today through public inquiry. 
 

NOA 1 - May 11 2023

NVC inquiry saying received - July 5 2023

Case Number - August 8 2023

 

Using the Julian Calendar dates, it appears our case was just created today, August 8th. 
 

Very slow process to say the least. Here’s to hoping we get shipped next week! 
 

I think things are slowing down even more at the NVC, at least for inquiries. Earlier in the process I was hearing back in 3-4 days. Now a solid 7-8. 
 

It appears currently about 90 days NOA1 until Case number available. 
 

Good luck everyone!

My finance did the inquiry on 6th Aug , i hope they can send him an email tomorrow 

 

you are so lucky 

 

what did you usually say in the email ?

 

They should come back to you by the end of the week, hopefully!

 

This is what I said in the email:

 

"Hello, I am inquiring to know our correct case number for our approved I-129F petition. NVC confirmed our petition was received on 06/29/2023.

To assist you in locating my application, please find the following details: Petitioner's Full Name: ......... Petitioner's Date of Birth: ........... Beneficiary's Full Name: ............ Beneficiary's Date of Birth: ............ Receipt Number: WAC...... I kindly request the correct case number assigned by the National Visa Centre."

 

I also attached our NOA2 and the email received on 6/29

For those that say embassy/consulate will email after they get the info from NVC, how would they know my partner’s email address (I am the petitioner)? I don’t believe that was in the initial application…? 🤔

They will email petitioner.

It's the petitioner's email on the I-129F. Believe me, we are not deceiving you here when we say NVC will send an email to the petitioner when the case is shipped to the embassy... they will. Check your I-129F to see if you have the email there.

Yes, my fiancee sent another inquiry off yesterday morning after we passed the 90-day mark. Fingers crossed, but I'm not holding my breath.. Some people I've been speaking to tonight in the UK K1 Visa Facebook group are reporting waits of nearly 120 days, so I'm resigned to another 3 - 4 weeks before we hear anything. Anything earlier will be a bonus!

When did you get the received email? I am seeing a case number being given at around 3-4 weeks after it. I am pretty sure you will make the shipment next week with all of us! Fingers crossed. Hoping this is not a UK issue to be fair :((

Haha I do believe. And I did put in the initial application.

 

I got the case number last week through inquiry and saw it being Ready since last week. So I am just wondering out loud from where and when we will hear next.

 

seems like my embassy wants people to wait 15 days before we can inquire so I will wait patiently a little bit more…

Haha perfect! I've been discussing that in another channel and the whole thing really isn't well-thought at all. The petitioner's email on the I-129F is an optional thing, but if you don't include it, guess you miss all of that or maybe they will send you snail mail?! And all info I get from my embassy says they will email the beneficiary the packet 3 but how would they know my email? If it's from DS-160, they expect me to fill it beforehand with no information at all from them first. It's nuts.

I'm sorry your embassy makes you wait. I'd say you can fill DS-160 for sure (you can so it with WAC number so doesn't even need to be shipped yet). Not going ahead and scheduling interviews is embassy-dependent, unfortunately. I'd see what other people from Tokyo are doing, my embassy tells we gotta wait for the P3 to schedule the interview and that is not true, or else we'd be waiting 2 more weeks too.

It's been over a month since our first public inquiry, and that's when we got the "awaiting data entry" reply. The second one (two weeks later) said the same thing, and they haven't replied at all to the one we sent after that. Fingers crossed that we're all in the same shipment and get updates next week..

Wishing you the best, once mine was shipped to London it arrived very fast so hopefully you shouldn't have to wait much longer once it does ship.

My case has been ready since 2 August and arrived at the embassy on Friday. No email yet, I read that some people never get it, and I fear the worst with the Summer holidays .... I just emailed the embassy. There is about one appointment day per month in Paris and already booked mine for end of September, because my wedding is end of October. Hopefully I will get the instruction email before the medical on 11 September ...

After 83 days from our NOA2, today my fiancé received our case number through inquiry. I couldn't be happier, hopefully we will make it for the next shipment dates 🤞

What phone number do I call to make this inquiry?… still haven’t gotten a case number

 

thanks for the help

Has anyone heard or seen if and when they are going to release an updated i134 financial support form- since the one they still have the old one up on the site

Yes! Does anyone have any info on this?… the date on the form says it’s already expired

As long as Edition date (bottom left of the form) is 1/4/23 you should be fine .
