YES, NVC REC, WHEN NVC NUMBER?

[Paul Elizabeth 3]

I called the NVC, and they said the I-129f petition was rec today, April 12. I asked for the NVC LND number, and they said call back next week. That seems like a fudge response as I know it normally only stays at NVC a few days. I want to expedite based on my fiance medical need.

You should call them back and request an expedite based on the medical need then, make sure to have all the proof for it so that you are ready when they request the proof.

They tell you to call back in a week because it takes a day or so to get it into the system once they get it. You could probably call back in 2-3 days and get the NVC number.

K1's are only usually at NVC for a day or so, as ours was. It all depends on their current work load. Telling you to call back in a week is a generic answer that everyone gets told.

With this in mind it is probably not worth bothering them about the expedite. Just keep calling at about 4pm EST every day untill they can tell you that it has been sent on to London.

Good luck

Requesting an expedite could cause it to stay there longer than they originally intended. I personally would wait and request expedite once it reaches London.
