NVC

[rjgacek 6]

My I-129F was approved on 7/30/13 and received the NOA saying it is now being forwarded to the NVC (National Visa Center). My questions, it says the NVC does a security check?? I thought the Dept. of Homeland Security did all this during the long process of my petition being at the USCIS??

Does both the Homeland Security and the NVC do security checks?? If so, does not make sense to me!!

Anyways, I know from the NVC they then send it to the Consulate in my fiancee's country. But, before that, can anyone actually tell me when the USCIS approved my petition of the I-129F and sent it to the NVC, what does the NVC do??? I know they do not approve and issue my fiancee's visa. This final action is done by the consulate in the country my fiancee will have her interview.

Just do not understand the responsibility of the NVC if they do not approve and issue the visa's.

Please, if anyone has an answer to this, I would greatly appreciate it.

thank you ever so kindly

For a K1 case, the NVC is nothing more than a mail stop; all the NVC will do is assign a case number to the file and send it to the appropriate post abroad. That's it, nothing more.

With the K-1 visa NVC does review the file ONCE MORE, and at times has done Administrative Processing on a file where they find a oops, once the file has been reviewed and all is good the embassy case number is affixed to the file and it is forwarded to the embassy.

NVC does review the case file even with K-1.
