US Immigration from Egypt

I got my email reply from NVC and they provided me with the case and invoice ID number. they stated the following:

"The National Visa Center (NVC) received your fianc (e) s/spouse s approved I-129F petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). NVC will now forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Cairo, Egypt. Please note that the transfer process can take several weeks. The U.S. Embassy or Consulate will contact your fianc (e)/spouse when they are ready to process his or her petition.

Next steps:

Go to our website http://nvc.state.gov/k1 to learn how to apply for a K visa and prepare for the visa interview."

So my questions are:
1- Should I wait till the status changes from "Transit" to "Ready" before starting DS 160? or can I just complete the DS 160 and schedule the interview while I am in Transit?
2- How long may it take the embassy to change from "Transit" to "Ready".
3- Am I going to get a welcome letter to create an account on CEAC?
4- What should I do to be proactive with the case?

Thank you.

Hello,

We are writing regarding two case numbers associated with our application, each of which indicates different receiving numbers. One notice states that the case was sent to the Department of State on December 30, 2024, the other said 13 (It is just one beneficiary). However, we have not yet received the email to create our account with from the National Visa Center (NVC).

According to the current case creation time frame on the NVC website, It says "as of January 21, 2025, cases received from USCIS on January 11, 2025 are being processed". This seems to indicate that our case should have already been created.

Additionally, our approval notice states a validity period from October 24, 2024, to January 22, 2025, on the 1-797 Notice of Action, meaning tomorrow is the last day of validity.

We are concerned about the delay in receiving the account creation email and would like guidance on what steps we should take to resolve this issue promptly.
Any advice would be helpful.

Thank you.

So, we mailed our packet, but we confused USPS with UPS. We sent the packet to the address listed for FedEx, UPS, and DHL which is in Lewisville Tx instead of Dallas P.O box using USPS. However, the packet has already been delivered. How screwed we are?

Hi everyone,

I have my N400 interview last week, I applied for 5 years rule, I got GC based on marriage divorced 6 month after me arriving to the states, there was no need for AOS since we received 10 yr GC first time, the marriage is totally legit but due to some issues it did not workout, before we get married we tried a finance visa and they put us through administration processing so we did not wait and got married so the finance petition was denied.

i went to the interview not expecting any questions about my previous marriage since I applied based on 5 years rule and my previous marriage is a turned page now but the officer made all the interview about it, and kept asking me why my finance petition was denied and I told her that I don t know and the embassy never told us why ( I honestly did not remember during the interview that we were denied for the finance because we got married)

in the end she told me I believe your story but I have to talk to my supervisor because it s not familiar for the finance petition to be accepted and then revoked by the embassy and sent back, and she thinks that s because I applied for different kind of visas and denied before the finance visa.

Now I don t know what will happen,I totally did not expect this to go south like this and I feel that I did not explain myself in a good way.

what do you guys think is going to happen?
