Soooooooo,

My USC Fianceé just called the USCIS, asked to be transferred to a Tier 2 Officer.

Got through to one of them, they took all the information from her and said that our case HAS been sent to the NVC but they can't see WHEN it was sent.

They said wait a week and then call the Tier 2 people back again... :bonk::ranting::mellow::o:wow:

I can't get through to the Department of State at all... I keep getting hung up on when I attempt to talk to them or try and reach an operator.

Also, instead of 4 for the first option, it is now #6.

Topic has been moved from the K-1 visa forum to the NVC forum as the information relates to contacting the NVC for any visa, not just the K-1, and so is more generally accessible in this forum.

Thanks for posting this, Dodi - it is a great help.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
