Hello everyone!
Just wondering if anyone has gone through the K1 visa process through the Tirana embassy recently?

If so, can you share your timelines please.

 

Ours was approved by USCIS May 8

Sent to Department of State May 9

NOA2 May 13 

Public inquiry about case # May 27

Public inquiry response May 28 stating that the case is still in data entry process...

 

Questions...

How long have people waited from NOA2 to receive case number?

Once case number was received was it still at NVC or was it Ready?

How long did you have to wait for the interview?

 

Thanks and good luck to everyone :)

You can search timelines on the forum, here's the most recent case I can find (approx 5 months to get an interview). https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=428330

 

Please fill in your own timeline to help those that come after you, thanks. 

 

Good luck.

USCIS recommends waiting at least 30 days before contacting the NVC for the case number if you hadn't received it yet.

I would say give it another week (7 - 10 days) before contacting the NVC again to get your case number.

from my experience getting an actual letter from the NVC with the case number is hit or miss on whether or not it shows up quickly (for example, my fiance did get a letter from the NVC with the case number and saying it was being sent to the embassy, but this was over a month after it had already been at the embassy).

Getting the case number doesn't necessarily mean it has left the NVC, just means that they have processed it. Once you have the case number though, you can track it through the CEAC site. And there it will tell you if it is in transit to the embassy or not.

this part can still take a few weeks.

so you more than likely still have a few months to go, but that varies a lot by embassy.

 

the US embassy page on this site for Tirana should help some
