NVC - do I need to do anything further?

[Mac1234 3]

My K-1 has been sent to the NVC. Is there anything I need to be doing in the meantime? I'm a bit confused!

There’s nothing for you to do at this point. You will receive notification from NVC when a case number is assigned

You can start preparing for the interview. Gather all documents you will need.

@Mac1234 Does this mean you have recently received your NAO2?

Nothing to do at NVC. You can call after 4-5 weeks to get your case number and invoice number. Montreal is moving very slow at the moment. They were making great progress from September-November but since mid Nov, they have not given any new K1 interviews for reasons they’re not saying. They are still claiming to process K1 visas on their website and emails though so I’m hoping they start up again soon. My case was approved in April and just left NVC for MTL on Dec 8th. It arrived 8 days later but since then there’s been nothing.

 

if anything, I urge you to comment on the consulate’s social media posts and email them asking about K1. That way we keep a little pressure on them and they do something for K1’s soon. The sooner the backlog for the people in front of you clears up the sooner you’ll get an interview.

Yep! It went to the NVC November 2020. I have my case number but have not received anything further.

Thank you so much!! I do have my case number, but I suppose I can’t do anything with it until I hear from Montreal. Thanks for the idea, I’ll follow up with emails for sure. 
 

I am hopeful things get processed soon!

No problem! If they start to schedule K1 interviews in February, you’re looking at about a 10-11 month backlog because there are people with March 2020 NOA2s that have yet to have their interview. I hope they do things faster
