Lagos k1 case not in system???

[samename 28]

Ok VJ, help me out here good people. My K1 case was sent to Lagos embassy on 5/3/13 .I emailed LagosIV and was told this week "no case number like this exists in our system". The LGS2013****** number i emailed them is correct, i have triple checked this. My questions are ....how long do i wait before i email again ? How long does it generally take for a case to be uploaded in the system ? Am i emailing the correct section or should i email LagosNIV ?

Thank you for any and all help as always .

K1's are handled by the IV section so the email is LagosIV . You can try calling NVC to see if the case is there , they are so much nicers than the toads at USCIS

You know at Embassy its like they do at NVC. It arrives but not logged into system. K1's are very popular at Lagos so give them some tine next week I would say. Keep emailing and staying on the, though. It is well.

Debbie is right. It takes couple of weeks sometimes to get the case 'into their system'. We got about the same kind of response too and I was told to check back again two weeks before my husband's interview which I never did anyway.

you will be fine just email them again soonest. Sometimes the CEAC tracking gives you an update when they finally eneter it. It will show a newer date of update to your file which means someone has touched it there.

Best wishes.

lol, oh oh ndu26, you did it now. Cause i just checked that Ceac tracking thingy it only let me see it under the immigrant visa type (which i thought was weird since im a k1) and it says ......

Case Creation Date: 01-May-2013 Status Updated Date: 10-May-2013

Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at:

..... ....so i'm like its entered but they are saying they dont have it yet?

K1's are dual intent and the real intent is immigration so they are handled and interviewed like it is an immigrant visa. It stops behaving like one IF you don't get married in time.
