K1 visa wait time at NVC

[.......... 8]

How long does a K1 application normally stay at the NVC for? Mines been there for a week now and nothing has happened. Was told on phone 2 days ago it was in transit but was told yesterday it was still at NVC

Hopefully it should be in transit soon. Let's hope that they are trying to get as much work out before the holiday on Monday. My case was received by NVC on 01/06/14 and issued a number and on 01/08/14 it was in transit to the consulate. They usually don't stay long at the NVC at least that is what I was told by an NVC rep, who stated to me about a week after it is entered in the system (Case # issued) it is forwarded to the local consulate. But as with everything when it comes to this process there is no definite or set time frame or procedure as to how these cases are actually processed.

Less then a month in most cases.

You can check stats here looks like average 28 days.

mine was only there about a week, what does your CEAC status say?

A week is very small. You can call them at any time to see what the deal is, but I would not worry until you get to 3 weeks and nothing happens. Mine was there for 2 weeks before it went to Manila.

Just says 'at NVC'. This whole process is terrible. Not only was I made to wait 8 months for approval it now looks like whilst most people only wait a few days at NVC mine could be stuck there for a while.

Well today marks a week that it has been at the NVC. Keep checking the status online. Another thing you can do is send them an inquiry at NVCInquiry@state.gov. Hopefully you get word soon. Think of it this way yes you haven't gotten the news that you are looking for but you are a lot further along in the process than some other people are. Imagine if you were still waiting for the approval. Like you said you waited 8 months for approval so what is a week or 2 to have your approved petition sent to the consulate for interview scheduling. Good luck and hold strong it's a trying process but a worthwhile one.
