Hi everyone,

I want to say thanks for all your helps. I received today the NVC letter case number and in a week they will be froward our visa to Guangzhou. But, when I call at 1-603-334-0700 to check the recording still says that they don't have any recored yet.

What is up with them?

By the way, my fiance hire and agency to help her to do the visa in China and they have reasnable fees, and they will charge 10,000 Rmbs. we will pay 500 Rmbs now and rest when they get the visa for her. It would of cost me more If she would make any mistake which she was kind of confused and she does not have a Birth Certificate, they will do it for her also.

Thanks again for your helps.

Ramin.

Right. At this point you call the DOS visa information line but it will be a couple months before GUZ takes delivery of your case file.

I am also having troubles locating my I-129F after approval. I have been calling the NVC without any results and different USCIS agent had different answers. Today, a very nice USCIS agent told me that sometime a case would be forwarded directly to the consulate or the embassy. I don't think she is correct on that info because cases can't by-pass the NVC altogether (by process and law). But if the K-1 don't get put on the system then it may "appear" as by-passing the NVC. I think that's an acceptable explaination.

Finally, my questions: 1) Would a live NVC agent be able to tell me if my case has been processed? 2) I have heard that the NVC may or may not issue a notice to the applicant about case being forwarded to the consulate/embassy. If that happens then how can I find out my GUZ #?

Thanks for the help and best wishes to all. :-)

An NVC representative can tell you if they have received and forwarded your case but you must talk to a human on a K visa case. K visa cases bypass NVC. Don't expect USCIS people to know how NVC and the Consulate (part of Dept. of State) do their jobs.

Gee, I just noticed I wrote, "K visa cases bypass NVC" which is incorrect. I must have been distracted. I mean't to write, "K visa cases DO NOT bypass NVC". They do pass through in a matter of days though usually.
