NVC (k-1 electronic Visa Filing)

[len505 0]

Hello Everyone

I have just talked to NVC they have told me that there is electronic transfer avalible for k-1 visa in china and other countrys and it should speed things up, I have just got my NOA 2 and I was waiting to here from NVC However that my fiancee will still have to wait to get her inst, for Package there in the mail or via telephone

anybody have any feed back on the elctronic or should I just wait and let them send DHL it says there is about a three month wait period before Guangzhou gets it

Thanks Len And Yaqin

That electronic transfer is referred to as the SAFEFILE system,

and about half of the K-1 casefiles are sent out SOLELY via SAFEFILE, without any DHL sending. I've been seeing about 2 weeks of 'transit time' when it's SAFEFILE SOLELY.

The other half, is BOTH SAFEFILE and DHL, and GUZ IV won't set a tag of 'casefile opened' until it's physically at GUZ IV.

You should call DoS Hotline often, about once a week, now, and inquire for casefile status. Even though NVC mentions 'electronic transfer', it'####### or miss as to whether or not the casefile is sent via DHL or not. The timetick you are looking for is 'Casefile Opened' , then when DoS Tells You that the P3 is sent out, can use my P3 shortcut over at http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/GUZ_P3_Shortcut

Unless something changed today, USC Petitioners have no option for using SAFEFILE, it's solely at the discretion of NVC employees (and they don't answer the phone, you speak to a SERCO contractor)
