Anyways I can update it now. Although, I was sure K1 for Calgary would go to to Vancouver but I was assigned Montreal which seems soooo far away....weird

Not weird at all. Vancouver stopped doing interviews in 2016. Everyone must now journey to Montreal. My Fiance lives nearly 3000 miles from there. Oh well..

Just wanted to provide an update. My fiancé had his interview yesterday. The ASC or CAS (biometrics) did not provide a letter only a sticker on the back of his visa and at first they were denying him

I was able to finally connect to the NVC immigrant hotline, only to be automatically disconnected (after waiting over one hour). I see from the several different forum posts that it's very difficult to get in touch with them via phone. I guess I'll try again soon right when they open.

I found this thread late, so I'm posting my status now and was wondering what to do.

 

NOA2 receive date: 10/18/2019 (Hard copy receive date: 10/25/2019)

 

I sent an inquiry to NVC last week concerning my status but haven't received a reply. Also, I have tried calling from time to time, but as with many people, could not get connected. Should I just continue to wait and hope that it will get processed soon? Or should I keep trying to call and get in contact with them? Thank you all in advance for your responses.

 

By the way, my fiance's embassy is in Seoul, South Korea.

I guess things are pretty slow now at NVC.

 

I got NOA2 after REF on 10/16/19 and have been waiting since.

 

It's been more than a month but since we missed the pickup date by one, our case was sitting for transit.

 

I emailed using the website link in the pdf file and am just waiting.

 

I tried calling during work but seems like they're not accepting any more waitlist for call.

 

 

Anyone else still waiting more than a month from NOA2?

 

 

Hopefully everything works out!

All of you that are calling the NVC and experiencing these long wait times, are you calling the immigrant line? I've called the non immigrant line every time I've called (5 times) and the longest I've waited is 12 minutes...also there's no pushing different numbers and such, you just push one and wait.  I highly suggest everyone tries the NON immigrant number!

.OMG a miracle happened!

 

After I wrote my last response here, I called non immigrant line instead of immigrant line which didn't even give me a choice to wait.

 

After just one ring, nice lady picked up the phone and I was able to get the case number!!!

 

SWEET!!!!

 

hopefully everyone waiting like I was will get lucky too!

 

😁

 

 

 

Niiiiice! Congratulations!

So, I decided to call the non-immigrant hotline, as some of you suggested, and I was able to receive my case number! I waited about 15 minutes and was able to talk to a representative. Thank you all for the advice!

There's only one embassy/consulate that handles immigrant & immigrant intent visas per country these days (and for some countries that have a low population, few people seeking immigrant visas, political tension with this US, and/or local instability, the embassy/consulate that handles immigrant/immigrant intent visas is in another country). Anyway, Canada is always Montreal for a K-1, since it's an immigrant-intent visa.

Good Evening guys. quick question. My fiancée's interview will be next week and i didn't have the chance to send my Form I134 with the wet signature.. i only scanned it and sent it thru email. I'm currently deployed right now so it is really hard to send a document. will that be a problem on the interview date? will that be a 221g?

Yes, that was filled before when I created my timeline, I chose blank at the time since there was no consulate assigned but it keeps showing up as Armenia...no idea why

 

Anyways I can update it now. Although, I was sure K1 for Calgary would go to to Vancouver but I was assigned Montreal which seems soooo far away....weird

They stopped doing visa's in Vancouver some 2 years ago. Nothing weird about it.
