No, I just had 'normal IR-1 processing' with Doc Intake and Fee Payment at NVC. It's a totally different thing, compared to a K-1 visa. In the past, however, 'AP at NVC for a K-1 visa' was not a no

I applied from NZ, where I had been living for 17 years, but am Canadian. I asked about that, and was told it had nothing to do with it, as long as I was legally present where I was. We weren't told we were in AP either, we had to call and ask that question directly. Tier 1 people, who answer the phones, can't really see much of your case, they don't see anything other than what is on the screen in front of them. We had to talk to tier 2 to get the story.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

I received an NOA2 dated Nov. 15, 2016 for a K1 visa last month.It is now Dec. 15 and I have heard NOTHING. Not even as much as a "we received your case." Do I need to call? Is it normal to take this long before hearing anything at all?

A friend of mine had the same situation as you recently. If you call in and let them know they can ask for the receipt # of your waiver notice to have it approved on their end. Still takes some time but it does seem like they are making an effort.

Our case is also stuck at NVC. Now 4 weeks and 2 days after the creation of our case. Who knows how much the maximum time frame takes before leaving NVC? It's so hard to wait.

There is no maximum time frame. I can tell you we were stuck there for nearly 8 weeks. Since then it seems to be less than that, but there is no time frame for AP.  I hope they send you on your way soon! Let us know when you do get sent on, your experience may help the next person looking to know.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Of course. I'll let you know. 

I read this second part of the thread and noticed that lately we have the longest waiting period. :(

I understand how you feel. We waited the longest as well. About really all you can do it get whatever you need for the next part ready to go. Hope you get moved along soon!
