Congrats!

 

Quick question for you.

What info did you put into DHL to get the tracking status?

 

Thanks in advance.

I've put EXP 27 NOV 2018A and chose the whole November month for shipment. There was no possibility to choose the month of December at this point. 

 

 

From what Greenbaum says, I understand that the second possible date would be EXP 28 NOV 2018A, as the files were supposed to leave NVC on Tuesday or Wednesday.

OMG I am so happy and confused at the same time. So the CEAC tracker is saying that my case is still at NVC but I just recieved at email from NVC that my case has been sent to the embassy!!! Yesterday when I checked DHL tracker just for fun to see if any case was being sent to Islamabad there was one!! @Greenbaum thoughts? Does the CEAC website act up? 

There can be false positive's. The surest way to know is to go to ceac.state.gov and enter "immigrant" for the visa type and then your case number. It will say "in transit, received or ready". That combined with what you learned through the DHL tracking will give a 95% answer. Your on to something so keep searching.

CEAC changed to "in transit" after a few hours of receiving email. Thank God! It's officially happening!! Got interview slot for Jan 17 since the whole calender was booked for Jan and Feb which is strange. Dec all slots available but we want to do interview after my fiance visits me for the second time in Christmas break. Lawyer says he'll look out if earlier slots in January open up.

That's nice that the lawyer offered to watch for cancellations but I think you would have better luck then he. Of course that depends on your lifestyle as you may be a very busy individual which you wouldn't be able to check a few times a day. But give it a try if you are up to it.

The control freak alpha female that I am, it goes without saying I'll be checking more regularly than him lol. Thanks @Greenbaum for all the help!!!! God bless you!

I did get an email from the NVC, but there was no mention of an "interview date".

Should this concern me?

As far as I know this is generic and K1s need to schedule interview themselves. It's the case for my embassy too. However I would suggest you reconfirm on your country portal.

The DHL tracking will not show up for 24 hours from either Tuesday to Wednesday NVC shipping. The shipping information is updated 24 hours later on Wednesday and Thursday. Makes sense?

Yes makes absolute sense. That's why DHL updated on Thursday. And when I woke up on Friday morning I had the NVC email that it's in transit.

Will you be spending the NY in Nigeria or USA? If USA keep in mind it's been running about 2-4 weeks for visa issuance.

I'm not sure if you can choose other locations than Guangzhou,  we chose it because it's the closest location to us (Hainan)

I don't even remember if there are any options to choose, it has been a while since the time we filled the form

 

 

I found this after doing some searches,  but since it's not from the official embassy  website so I can't say if it's 100% true

the embassy website only stats that it will be forwarded to Guangzhou for future processing

These are instructions for a immigrant visa for CR-1 etc. and not for K-1 which is a non-immigrant with immigrant intent. So ignore!
