NOVEMBER 2024 K1 to NOA2 to NVC to EMBASSY

[JojoandTomas 213]

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.  

Your case will be forwarded from USCIS to NVC shortly (cases have been taking 30-45 days to reach NVC. Please be patient). Once your case has arrived at NVC , you will be assigned a new case number (your old USCIS case number will not give you any NVC updates).
 

A few helpful NVC links:

 

➡️ NVCResearch@state.gov ⬅️

 

 NVC phone number is  (603)334-0888

I am including this in hopes that they will reinstate the number in the future  :

 

🚨  They are currently NOT answering queries over the phone!! ⭐️They are primarily answering all queries solely via their public contact page⭐️
🚨

 

NVC PUBLIC INQUIRY FORM:

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

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

 

Also, 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 very helpfully put together by senior VJMember Greenbaum for you to refer to when necessary. If you are new to this thread, please read these first as these are the most asked questions.

 

⭐️Please note, it was brought to my attention that some of the information may be outdated, but most of the helpful tips and tricks are still accurate. Regarding your packet 3, there isn’t anyone within VJ currently providing that information for each embassy so that part of the PDF may be disregarded.⭐️

NVC sends petitions to the embassy every two weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I noticed a 2024 shipping calendar being shared so I have included it below. 
 

You can use that calendar to track when the next shipment date will be.

Anyone else keep getting timeline updates from visajourney that are very different than the timeline on your page on the website?

just know you have more than a year of waiting... get all your affairs in order now. As of this month, there will be some holidays and in Dec, there will be some holidays as well

Relax..

The waiting is fine. At the moment it is to my benefit that this isnt going fast, actually. I am just confused and a bit annoyed at the visajourney website sending me inaccurate timeline estimates. But maybe something is happening, and then it recalculates and doesnt want to give me info due to a lack of simmilar timelines or something.

Once again.. now is not a time to even think about the timeline...

The timeline is not an exact estimate and should not be treated as such. The timeline is only as reliable as the data it is fed and it is based off of member profiles. So basically if people are not consistently updating their timelines (which they aren’t) your timeline will vary. Treat your timeline as a rough estimate at best.
