An unrelated post has been removed. This is a K1 visa thread which has a different process and doesn’t have a DQ date concept like spousal because K1 applicants schedule their own interviews through a consulate. Please utilize a PM function to message a particular member.

Depends on each individual embassy. I would check with an other members in the portal for your country to get a feel for how yours works.

I submitted a follow-up inquiry hoping that my math was right and that the NVC would be working on my case. I think they took a long weekend due to the 4th, and they do not yet show it received. Today makes 4 weeks.

 

In the auto-email I received they are now telling people it can take up to 60 days for them to receive and work approved cases at the NVC.

 

I just wanted to share as I know this group, like me, is hoping for a quick turnaround to the embassy. :( Still could be before 60 days but with USCIS clearing a backlog and speeding up processing times I am sure they are getting bombarded.

hi,

 

my case is finally updated to "In-Transit - Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center."  Where can I find the interview date? The email I got today from NVC didn't give interview date.

That’s a boilerplate message. Depending on the consulate, either you will schedule it yourself or the consulate will.

On the NVC timeframes it stated, "After creating your case, we will send you instructions for processing, as well as a Welcome Letter that includes your Case Number and Invoice ID. You will use these numbers to log into our Consular Electronic Application Center"

 

  1. Am I suppose to get a Welcome Letter? So far I did not get anything besides email from NVC k1 FTP letter attached in the email.  The letter just saying case mail to Cambodia consulate and case number.
  2. On I-129F, I put my fiancee's daughter in the form, why I don't see her name in NOA2 and in NVC K1 FTP letter?
  3. Now that the status is "In Transit", should I ask my fiancee and fiancee's daughter (5yrs old) to make appointment for medical checkup and criminal record?
  4. As for signed I-134, signed and supporting documents, can I email to my fiancee since the mailing in Cambodia is very bad? Or they need original?
  5. Letter certifying to marry with 90 days when arrived in USA, can I emailed the signed letter with most recent date? Or they need original? 
  6. When can I file DS-160 for each person?

Thank you!

 

Quote

on I-129F Page 14, Part 2
Q39: Does your beneficiary have any children? I put Yes
Q40-42: I put daughter name, place of birth, and date of birth
Q43: Does this child reside with your beneficiary? I put Yes
