It won't be 90 days - more like a few weeks. It's normal.

Yeah, mine was almost five weeks to get to NVC. Once NVC received it, it was only there two days...hell, seven days after NVC received it, my fiance had her interview date at the Seoul Consulate. Now we're just waiting for that in four weeks.

Don't worry...

Congrats! I just called and still nothing

Sorry if this is a stupid question. How did NVC know your email address? Does everyone get an email from the NVC when they get the case?

Thanks and best wishes for the upcoming steps!

It isn't a stupid question because I had the same one just a little while back.

To get case status info, you can call or email. When you call, they give you a straight answer (yes, no). When you email, they wait 3-6 days to reply. I think its to give the system a chance to receive your petition, but who knows.

Here is the email that I sent to NVC (NVCInquiry@state.gov) with the subject line: K1 Visa Inquiry

Hello,

My name is Mawa R----- (DOB: ---. --, ----) and my petition for a K1 Visa for my fiance E------- M------ (DOB: ---. --, ---- ) was approved by the USCIS on the 24th of October 2006. I would like to know if my petition has made it to the National Visa Center and when it will be sent out to the embassy in London, UK. My USCIS K1 Petition Case Number is WAC----------.

Thank you,

Mawa R-----

First Response within 3 days:

Good Morning,

Your inquiry indicates that the approved petition has been forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC) for processing. The NVC has not yet received this petition from CIS (Citizenship and Immigration Services).

Regards,

National Visa Center

Second Inquiry (as soon as I received the first response):

Same as first except subject line read "K1 Visa Case (WAC----------) 2nd Inquiry"

Second Response (received today, 5 days after inquiry)

Dear Sir or Madam,

Your inquiry has been received at the National Visa Center (NVC).

Please be advised the NVC case number assigned to E------- M------'s visa petition is LND2006------. Please be sure to include the case number in the subject line of all email inquiries.

The NVC has recently received the approved 129F petition filed for a fiancé of a US citizen. The file will be processed in approximately 2-4 weeks and forwarded to the appropriate US Embassy/Consulate General. The Embassy/Consulate General may or may not request additional information before interviewing the applicant for a K1 non-immigrant visa.

Regards,

National Visa Center
