Our Case is in the NVC

[Mathew Danicka 1]

Hello! Five days ago our case - K1 Visa - has been sent to the Department of State's National Visa Center. They said they will email my fiance for the K-1 FTP Letter. If it will not come this coming week, should I wait 15 days before I make a Public Inquiry for our new case number? Can someone tell us what to do in this step? Thank you so much!

This is what I would recommend based on my experience with my wife (then fiancée awaiting our case number from NVC)

About 2-3 weeks after your status changed with USCIS saying they sent your petition to the Department of State, make an inquiry to the NVC asking for your case number via the public inquiry website:

 

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html

 

When you make the public inquiry with them, there is a button to attach files. Attach the Approval Notice of the I-129F. In that inquiry, in addition to asking for the case number, you should also ask them to update the email addresses for you and your fiancé(e) by saying something like:

 

I would also like to make sure you have the petitioner and beneficiary emails updated in your system as follows:

Petitioner Name: John Smith

Petitioner email: john.smith@email.com

Beneficiary Name: Jane Jones

Beneficiary: jane.jones@email.com

I have attached the approval notice for my form I-129F for your review.

 

 

We did this and after that we got our case number (on the 2nd inquiry) and my wife and I got every email from the NVC and the embassy throughout the whole process.
