A question about the K-1 visa!

We received our NOA2 on April 13th. We recently received the email from the NVC saying we have been assigned a case number and that our case is being sent to the embassy in London. We received an email soon after that our case is being expedited, but neither of us had requested for it to be expedited (because we know we do not qualify). Has this ever happened to anyone? I saw online that this would only happen if you applied due to something like natural disaster, war in the beneficiary's country, and things like that. Thoughts?

My thoughts are sometimes they just make a mistake. They send the wrong stuff or instructions. One guy got to POE with his white envelope and it had another person's file in it. The guy still in the U.K. hadn't even had his interview yet and his file was at a US airport. 

 

Carry on with your K1 instructions. Step 1-4 on the London embassy website. https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/applying-for-the-visa/

My fiancé has just received the same two mails back to back and I was just wondering what your outcome was?

Do they do electronic filing there? I've read that in embassy's that do electronic filing it always then shows up as expedited... I could be wrong though. As long as you get updates in a timely manner I wouldn't worry too much about it.

The pivot cases (electronic cases) usually gets that “expedite” mail.

 

k1 does not get processed by NVC but it is just a case and embassy assignment. So the process on NVC level is expedite compared to other cases such as I-130 etc.

 

it means nothing for a k1.

 

Congrats on your approval :)
