I received an email on Feb 26 advising that the NVC received our approved I-129F petition and will now forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Montreal, Canada.  I have read multiple things that are leaving me confused.  

 

1. I am unable to check the status of our case online. It always says "Your search did not return any data".  I have tried putting NA in the passport number field and the name field, I've tried filling it out completely. I've tried just putting NA in the passport field.  Still same results.

2. Can someone please confirm the correct link to check the status of a K1 Visa as it seems to be different than other visa's? Maybe I am just in the wrong place? lol

3. Should we be waiting for the letter from the embassy/consulate with the check list, etc before we file the DS160?  I have read things that say to wait and I have read things that say to go ahead and file. 

 

 

We are 2 weeks away from one year from our petition being received. Best of luck to you all, in love and quick processing times!

Thank you in advance for any assistance ☺️

Welcome to your first thread in the forum!

 

The K-1 is a "hybrid" visa -- a nonimmigrant visa with immigrant intent.  Have you tried checking both of these categories?

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

I have tried both the non immigrant and immigrant. When I put the information in the non immigrant section it just tells me it’s an invalid case number. 
 

But I just tried to look at it again and finally got something to pop up! His last name has a space in it. I guess they count the space as one of the letters.

Confirming that they're really spaced-out, perhaps.  :P

100%! 🤦‍♀️ Still not sure what to do next.  I guess we will go ahead and start his DS160 and wait for our Packet in the mail.  I have read some people go ahead and send the stuff from the checklist in before they receive the packet... but we have waited so long, we are afraid to make any mistakes at this point.
