K1 or C1

[oceanshark 2]

After days of trying to reach an actual human being at the vermont Service Center, i finally did so.

After explaining to her that my K1 visa application stated "The above petition has been approved, and

forwarded to the listed Consulate." No consulate was listed!!!

So, I explained this to "the lady" at the Vermont Service Center. She stated:" K 1's go directly to the Consulate, not to the NVC.C 1's and other applictions go to the NVC"

I could live with that if they ahd assigned a GUZ #[for China} but, of course, they didnt.

So, now we wait. Not knowing where our petition is.It is such an inefficient way of doing bussiness.

Any ideas? thanks...todd

Your supposed to contact NVC to get the case number from them.

All k-1s pass through the NVC to get logged and given an embassy case number then are sent to the embassy. K-1s generally only stay at the NVC for a few days to a week. Unlike CR-1s which are processed through the NVC.

It's on you to call, on you to know what's going on.

Call NVC soon and call often. Then call DOS and call them often too!

We wasted over a month because I didn't call DOS.

Put 'em on yer speed dial.

Hao ma?
