I have a question, I received my approval letter from USCIS today in the mail, and it states "the above petition has been approved, and forwarded to the listed consulate, please contact the consulate with any questions".... Does this means it was forwarded to NVC OR TO THE ACTUAL CONSULATE.

It went to the NVC, no file ever goes directly to an Embassy or Consulate from USCIS.

For the K1 process, the NVC is not much more than a mail stop for the file. All that will occur is the file will be assigned a case number and sent to the appropriate post abroad.

Great thank you, I was confused because this morning before I received the letter I spoke to USCIS and they told me that my case can either go to the consulate or NVC, but I called USCIS again in the afternoon after I received the letter and they told me that it would go to NVC but they could not give me any more information

Not always. Some K1's have in the past, and still are, subjected to AP at NVC. We were there the best part of two months. There is an active thread (Part 2) in the NVC forum with info for this.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Thank you, same to you..: do you know if my fiancée can start filling out form DS-160 or do we have to wait for NVC to forward the petition to the embassy

I wish you wouldn't wait too long

I've been waiting for almost 37 days

Can my fiancée start filling out form DS-160 online or do we have to wait for NVC to send the petition to he embassy
