STUCK @ NVC for AP

[Lisa and Ian 7]

I called NVC this morning to ask how to get my file into the automated system so that I wouldn't have to call and ask to speak to a person every day. The person I spoke with said that K files are never put into the automated system because they move through NVC so quickly. Then she said we have already sent yours to the CDJ embassy as of yesterday. So, after 15 days we are out of AP and our application is on the way to Juarez. Every step has been frustrating so far but it does feel great when the process moves forward.

Congratulations on making it to the next step!

Thanks so much Ian and Lisa. I'll keep sending you guys good vibes.

Any ideas on the average AP time at NVC for a K3???? Got AP 08/12/09 7 days already, wonder if will be out by Aug. 31st???

You might find this chart helpful: http://apnvc.info/ I'm not sure how often it's updated, but there it is. Annoying, isn't it? But good luck for a speedy passage through!

Sorry to hear about the new ones stuck in the black hole..I know how much that sucks. Keep an eye on them, and the times as well. They have gotten a lot shorter than they once were

It's nice to see all of the encouragement from people who have been there.

I called the NVC twice today. The first lady freaked me out when she put me on hold for 5 minutes and then asked me what sort of visa we'd applied for.

The second person was very nice and said that it was definitely marked as a K1 visa and K1's are "expedited" (as opposed to others they actually do loads of processing on) and usually fly right out of there.

I asked if there were any questions I could answer because we'd been hanging around for 3 weeks... and, as I expected, he said they don't provide them with information concerning the reason for the AP, only that I'll be notified if they have questions/need anything further.

"One day closer", as Ian says. This too shall pass.

Tell me what is the difference of a K1 and a K3 for expedited, both have a shelf life of 4 months. Do they do extra processing on K3's ??., cause K'3 are filed on a I-129F. Please advise.

yes I called every day, sometimes twice once in am and then again late pm right before they close. Em I the only K3 here in AP????

Sorry... I personally don't know much about K3 filings. I just know some visas are processed for awhile at the NVC... maybe they are AOS.

Hopefully someone will come along who knows the answer, or look at other K3 timelines to see how fast they move through NVC.

I just checked the flowchart for K3 and yours is supposed to go through NVC in 1-4 weeks, just like K1's.

Hey fellow APer's I got in the mail yesterday a letter from NVC sayng they received our I-129F and will be sent to embassy within a week, does that mean I will be out of AP within a week, or is that a standard letter the NVC sends??

That is a standard form letter to let you know your case is there. I received mine about 14 days ago. I am still in AP.
