US Immigration from South Korea

Hello everyone,

I sent in an inquiry (PI) to NVC yesterday asking for our case number. Our NOA2 was December 4th and we got sent to DOS on February 5th.

Since it has been 2 weeks I was advised to ask for the case number on February 20th and I figured worst case they would say that our data is awaiting entry.

NVC emailed me back almost immediately telling me that they have not received it.

It's been over 2 weeks and they're saying they don't even have it? Not that they haven't touched it yet - they've never received it?

I'm seeing online of other people who have been sent to DOS on the same date as our petition and they already have their case numbers.

Is this normal?

Thanks all.

Hi, I am hoping to get insight on what may be happening with my wife's case.

I am an LPR who petitioned for my wife to emigrate on an F2A and received the "documentarily complete letter" from NVC on March 31, 2025. I recently asked NVC for an update via public inquiry and was again told the case is "documentarily complete" and that NVC was waiting for an interview appointment from the Seoul U.S. Embassy.

The NVC response also suggested checking current scheduling dates on the state department's website where it shows it is scheduling documentarily complete cases from Dec 2025:

Since my wife's case was documentarily complete in March 2025, does this mean there aren't available visas and she has to wait for more to become available? If so, is there anywhere I can track how/when visas are allocated to get a rough idea of when she may get an interview date?

Also, in case it helps, her priority date is: 20-MAY-21.

Thanks all in advance.

I received an RFE for my K-1 petition asking for legal proof of marriage termination. I already submitted my full divorce decree. In my state, uncontested divorces can be signed by a judicially-appointed Special Referee rather than a judge, and the courthouse confirmed that my divorce is fully valid and final under state law.

The RFE says the decree is not sufficient because it was not signed by a judge. The clerk told me that having a Special Referee sign it is standard procedure where I live and that it carries the same legal authority.

Has anyone dealt with this before? What should I send back to USCIS to clear this up? Should I request a certified explanation, an affidavit, or some kind of court documentation to prove the decree is valid?

I want to respond correctly so the case doesn t get delayed any further.

Thank you to everyone who has answered my questions lately. I have another one, and it may be silly.

Do we need to fill out the "in care of" for line 15a. and 17a. in the i751? The mailing address is our PO box and the physical address is our apartment.

Should we leave it blank or write N/A?

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

As the title suggests, I am looking for advice on which courier service to use to mail our I-751 package next week. It's pretty thick, so I'll be using a box to mail it.

Which service is best?

I have had issues with USPS in receiving mail from USCIS, so I am feeling distrustful of them lately.

Thank you in advance!
