US Immigration from Egypt

All the family is now in USA as LPR except my daughter as she was not eligible to CPSA.

We applied for her on February 2024 but the wait time estimate is frustrating and too long.

Any idea or ways to expedite her case

I am 19 years US citizen, born and raised in USA, having younger siblings who were also born and raised in USA.

My parents entered USA through B1/B2 visa long time ago(overstayed their visa) , they married here and we were born in USA.

How could I apply a petition for them? what are the right channels to follow to avoid denying the petition due to their overstay, knowing that they are paying taxes and have social security number (they haven't left USA since they entered 30 years ago)

I got my email reply from NVC and they provided me with the case and invoice ID number. they stated the following:

"The National Visa Center (NVC) received your fianc (e) s/spouse s approved I-129F petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). NVC will now forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Cairo, Egypt. Please note that the transfer process can take several weeks. The U.S. Embassy or Consulate will contact your fianc (e)/spouse when they are ready to process his or her petition.

Next steps:

Go to our website http://nvc.state.gov/k1 to learn how to apply for a K visa and prepare for the visa interview."

So my questions are:
1- Should I wait till the status changes from "Transit" to "Ready" before starting DS 160? or can I just complete the DS 160 and schedule the interview while I am in Transit?
2- How long may it take the embassy to change from "Transit" to "Ready".
3- Am I going to get a welcome letter to create an account on CEAC?
4- What should I do to be proactive with the case?

Thank you.

Hello,

We are writing regarding two case numbers associated with our application, each of which indicates different receiving numbers. One notice states that the case was sent to the Department of State on December 30, 2024, the other said 13 (It is just one beneficiary). However, we have not yet received the email to create our account with from the National Visa Center (NVC).

According to the current case creation time frame on the NVC website, It says "as of January 21, 2025, cases received from USCIS on January 11, 2025 are being processed". This seems to indicate that our case should have already been created.

Additionally, our approval notice states a validity period from October 24, 2024, to January 22, 2025, on the 1-797 Notice of Action, meaning tomorrow is the last day of validity.

We are concerned about the delay in receiving the account creation email and would like guidance on what steps we should take to resolve this issue promptly.
Any advice would be helpful.

Thank you.
