K1 Visa for an Iraqi Beneficiary with BGH case number [merged threads]

[K1Sam 39]

I'm hoping that people who have received the K1 visa for an Iraqi beneficiary can answer this.

 

I just received our case number from NVC and it starts with letters BGH.

 

Now I thought that the US embassy in Baghdad hasn't been processing K1 visas so all cases would be forwarded elsewhere, Ankara in Turkey for example.

 

My question is if my case number starts with BGH does that mean the embassy in Baghdad would receive our petition?

The firat 3 letters are the embassy code. I don't know the code for Baghdad. I think there is a Middle-East forum here that could answer that question.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I wanted to ask under K1 as well just to see if I could any user input, I'll just wait until the petition reaches an embassy, then we'll see.

We got our case # from NVC about a month ago that surprisingly starts with BGH not ANK. We thought all Iraqi beneficiaries that live in Iraq would have their case sent to Ankara, Turkey instead  of Baghdad.

 

Of course Baghdad would work better than Ankara for us, but the problem is the case status has been "At NVC" for almost a month now, I did some research and almost all other cases created including Ankara cases have already been forwarded to the NVC.

 

I submitted another inquiry today and all they said back was that they will notify me when the petition is forwarded to the embassy, not very useful information.

 

My question is are there any K1 petitioners here that had their interview scheduled in Baghdad? Or even CR1/IR1, just trying to find out if they're actually doing those interviews in Baghdad or is this just a mistake from NVC.

 

We don't want our petition to be stuck at NVC forever!

Thank you, where do you see this info?

 

Is there a way I could see this info? I look at k1 visa timelines bt they don't say which embassy/consulate!

I assume it's monthly but I wonder, how often is this data updated? What I mean is do you have any idea when we can expect September to be added to the list?
