Just checked with NVC....they are customer friendly. She was almost holding my hand on the phone and explained that average wait time is at least 2 to 4 weeks. She has also seen cases where CSC did not transmit cases for 90 days. I hope that is not the case for us.

I don't think that you have anything to worry about. The only reason why a case would be held up for that long is if while doing a security check something came up with either your name or your fiances name. ALso, the cases that can take upto 90 days are the CR-1 cases that are the grand daddy of all visas. That is the actualy immigrant visa versus the K visas which are non immigrant visas. Don't worry. At least yours in in NVC...we are still waiting weeeeeep..

Well it's great to know that they actually answer the phone and are friendly. That will be a nice change!

After the long wait for the NOA2, the NVC IS a refreshing change! Everytime I called them, the person on the phone was very pleasant and helpful.

Welcome to the State Department!

Oh, and look at my signature to see dates... might have changed since then, but my case flew through after NOA2!!!

Good luck to everyone! :thumbs:
