My k1 application was sent to the NVC seven weeks ago, I was told they did not recive my application. But to email NVC search before the dates its working on, what does that mean.

So if there working on NOV 5TH for example, I can email them right. since my application was sent before.  They state I"f your petition was approved before the dates NVC is working on" thaat means if my application was sent 7 weeks ago it was approved before the date there working on correct.

 

Also why have they not received it if that is the case.

You can contact them using this link… put in the required information and you n the section where it says “Enter your inquiry below:” tell them your NOA2 date and that you are trying to get your case number. In that space also tell them that you want to make sure that they have your and your beneficiary’s correct email addresses and give them both of your email addresses. Then in the spot provided, attach a scan of your NOA2.

Gentle-but-important correction:  your I-129F petition was sent.  The K-1 visa application comes at the consular phase later.

Also isn't really clear - did you receive NOA2 7 weeks ago, or did you receive the "case was sent to the department of state" update 7 weeks ago? They aren't the same thing. 

 

Whilst the NOA2 mentions the case being forwarded to the NVC, the case isn't actually sent to the DoS NVC until the case status updates as "case was sent to the department of state" via the USCIS # tracking. These timeframes can vary and currently it's taking 55-90 days after noa2 to actually have USCIS send your case to the Department of State/NVC. Sometimes even longer, but this has been the average as of late.

 

Regardless, you can use the Public Inquiry form on the NVC website to contact them about your case; this is only helpful after that USCIS case status updates.

 

Also many people have implied that the "timeframes" of what NVC are working on aren't exactly accurate for k1 - we do not submit documents nor pay NVC fees and therefore the process at NVC is slightly different and usually doesn't take as long as the time frames posted - whilst there is no way to confirm this to be 100% true, many people across the facebook groups, discord and here have mentioned these time frames not appearing/being accurate. Therefore, even if you email/contact them, there's no guarantee it will result in anything. 

 

Please fill out your VJ timeline too as it would help others.

Being sent does not mean in their system yet/  it can be sitting in a huge pile on someone's desk

 

The NOA2 will have your new case #   and start with initials for your embassy   BMB in this case

Gentle correction here.... The NOA 2 from USCIS for a K-1 does not contain your new case number. That will be assigned by NVC once they enter your case into their system. The NOA 2 should contain your beneficiary's A Number from USCIS, but you will not get your DoS case number until NVC puts you in their system and then, yes, it should start with BMB and a series of numbers beginning with 2024 if they assign it by December 31.

So, If I understand things, My approved I-129F has not left USCIS.

My status on the USCIS site is "Case Was Approved" on 08/13/2024.

 

2 inquiries to the NVC were "Answered", "We ain't got it yet", and the latest was "don't bother us until for 45 days (12/15/2024".

 

Is this understanding correct?

[MalloryCat 187]

that is correct
USCIS hasn't sent it to the NVC yet.

your case status will say "Your case has been sent to the Department of State on xx/xx/xxxx" when it is sent to the NVC

from there you will have to wait probably 45 days from the date its sent to contact the NVC if you haven't heard anything
