My father in law last email from NVC that all documents are completed and to wait for an interview is dated Feb 2022. No word from any one since then. 

Kingston can do nothing as they have no info about the petition until the interview is scheduled the packet is at embassy
 
i would send an inquiry to NVC as they no longer accept phone calls
make sure you ID both parties,  both DOB's and the case #
 
You will need to submit all your inquires through the Public Inquiry Form at https://nvc.state.gov/inquiry. You should only send mail to National Visa Center if explicitly instructed to through an email, telephone call, or letter from National Visa Center.

Don’t get discouraged by that! We were first assigned to NSC (1-7 months!!! according to USCIS) and then transferred to CSC (22-29 months; without notification btw). We were devastated. But in the end, we got approved after 7 months. I wish you a speedy approval! 🍀

Ooooo I think I see it now, on the bottom it says Potomac Service Center. Thank you!

You can put "unknown" or "not yet planned", that's fine when filing for advance parole on the basis of an adjustment of status application.

So just to update everyone. Our visa was issued last friday and on Wed we got the waybill # through an email send to the beneficiary. Today Thursday we picked up the visa at DHL at 2pm, was gonna catch a 4pm flight to Miami but they said the flight was full, when i checked later they kind of lied cos there were still more seats online. Will reccomend buying your ticked online instead of the airport they are not that very capable of doing their jobs. Well we will be flying tomorrow Friday instead w a 2:30 hour delay between flights in Plidadelphia so i hope that plenty time to get through immigration. So thats that so far so good, so exausted of this whole K1 visa process cant wait to get home w my man!!

Persons you ARE sponsoring is your husband, so you put a 1 for him in #1. Anything after #1 are persons NOT sponsored, so it would be a 0 for #3. Some people using this form may not be sponsoring their spouse, and therefore would need to count their spouse there as well as the person they are sponsoring. You do not count anyone twice, so #3 is always 0 for anyone sponsoring their spouse.

You can do that or if your DS-3025 from Knightsbridge is sufficient, use it. Read all this for information. It's some information I have compiled.
Do I need a medical exam?
What if I am a K nonimmigrant visa holder and already had a medical exam overseas?

If you were admitted as a:
A. K-1 fiancé(e) or a K-2 child of a K-1 fiancé(e); or as a
B. K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen or a K-4 child of a K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen; and
C. You received a medical examination prior to admission, then:
1. You are not required to have another medical examination as long as your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, is filed within one year of your overseas medical examination, and the medical examination did not reveal a Class A medical condition, or if you did have a Class A medical condition, you received a waiver of inadmissibility and have complied with the terms and conditions on the waiver.
From the I-693 instructions page 4, Section III. 2, c, 2

Even if a new medical examination is not required, you must still show proof that you complied with the vaccination requirements. If the vaccination record (DS 3025) was not properly completed and included as part of the original overseas medical examination report, you will have to have the vaccination report completed by a designated civil surgeon. In this case, you are required to submit the vaccination record and page 1 of Form I-693.
Do you need an I-693 immunization sheet? Is my DS-3025 filled out properly?
Look at your DS-3025. If it has the ALL of the following items, you don't need an I-693 (Adults 19-49 yrs old).
1. Shots marked with a date (at least one of a series)
MMR (two are required but if you have "insufficient time interval" checked, then you get a waiver)
Td or Tdap or DT or DTP or DtaP (One no longer than 10 years ago, ie.have a booster)
Varicella or VH written by it if you had chickenpox
Influenza (during flu season)** see note below because you are most likely okay without it.
2. Everything else marked not age appropriate, insufficient time interval, not flu season...things that allow a waiver.
3. RESULTS section filled in with "incomplete" and "may be eligible for blanket waiver" ticked or "complete" (but complete is rare).
4. Signed and dated by the doctor
If it's not completed EXACTLY like that then see a civil surgeon for the I-693. If it is complete, send a photocopy of your DS-3025. Almost isn't good enough. It needs to be filled out properly.
The USCIS is supposed to have your K1 medical files, but sometimes lose them or fail to match them up with your AOS. Do not get another exam unless you get an RFE that says they do not have results of your medical. It means they lost them, but you are probably stuck with paying for a new exam. Those kinds of RFE's are not about the immunizations or the form I-693; they are because USCIS failed to match up your other medical exam results with your AOS application.
**Note on flu shot: Flu shots are required for adults of all ages (changed Nov 2010) if your visa exam was between (Oct 1 and March 31). But if the AOS adjudicator picks up your case when it is not flu season, you will be excused. And the reverse is true. The adjudicator picks up your case during flu season, but sees it was NOT flu season when you had your medical exam, you are also excused because the date they go by is the date of your exam to determine if you were current on that date. Keep in mind that if you go to a civil surgeon for an I-693, then you are resetting the medical exam date for immunizations and you may have to get second doses of shots or a flu shot to become current on your new immunization date of record.
What if I only had one dose of MMR and it's marked "insufficient time interval"? Do I need to another dose and must I see a civil surgeon before AOS?
NO you do not need to see a civil surgeon unless USCIS loses the whole medical file you turned in at POE. If you were up to date the day that DS-3025 was signed, then you're okay without getting 2nd or 3rd doses. You can get them for your health, or you can not get them ever. It was not medically appropriate for you to get dose 2 on top of dose 1. There's a time interval for doses. So you get a waiver for "insufficient time interval" if that is marked on your DS-3025.
If you are one of the unlucky ones with a lost medical, then you will have to get a full medical again. By then, enough time would have passed for dose 2 so expect the CS to say you need it. Hopefully it won't come to that.
If you just chose not to get a second dose that was due (because it was more than 4 weeks since dose 1) then you wouldn't have that "insufficient time interval" waiver marked on your DS-3025. It was medically fine to have the second dose and you didn't. You aren't complete and have no waiver excuse.
What if I don't have a DS-3025?
If you are positive that you got the needed shots, then actually mailing in a DS-3025 photocopy is not necessary. The original form is with your other medical results and was turned over to USCIS at POE. That's actually the one that counts because it remained in the "chain of custody" so you didn't have an opportunity to alter it. The photocopy isn't really an official copy and is more for a reminder that you got complete at your visa exam. Of course without having a copy, you don't have the opportunity to see if the rest of the form was completed correctly.

it's not a form. After he files he would call and request an expedite. Then you would either take the "evidence" to an infopass or mail it in.
Here's information about it: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=16a6b1be1ce85210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD
Just because he WANTS to work doesn't mean he's eligible for an expedite. Plenty of people get denied and need to wait. So don't get your hopes up and just be pleasantly surprised if it work.

If he wants to be authorized to work as soon as possible:
- Get married at a city hall or courthouse as soon as possible. There's no "too soon" for it. There's only "too late" with the K-1. You need a marriage license first. Each place as their own requirements. Some, you can get married the same day, some you have to wait a few days after getting the marriage license before having the ceremony. Some request a SSN, but most of them no. Inquire about it at the place where you want to get married. Once married, request certified copies of marriage certificate.
- Get a SSN. Go to your SSA office 10 days after POE.
- apply for AOS/EAD/AP as soon as you have all the required documents ready.
- Once it's sent, the EAD (temporary work authorization) should be approved in 2-3 months. AOS timeline varies greatly. It can take 3 months, as it can take a year. You may or may not be scheduled for an interview.

That is why the general recommendation mirrors the official instructions:
"Copies. Unless specifically required that an original document be filed with an application or petition, an ordinary legible photocopy may be submitted."
Refer to page 4 of the Form I-129F petition instructions: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-129finstr.pdf
Take the originals to the interview(s) for comparison by the immigration official with the legible photocopy, and keep the original record for your personal files.
You can request USCIS to return your original documents: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=dccb5d4c6608e010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD
Good luck.

Congrats to Beancamp's fiance approval. Can't wait to hear about the rest and get those needed details for my fiance interview on Tuesday next week!!!

You only need i-134 with a letter from your employer, W-2's for two years, plus 6 months of checkstubs for K-1. Yes you do need a copy of your birth certificate. It has nothing to do with your proof of citizenship.

If you have your NVC case number, Complete and Scan the DS230 Pt1 form and email it to the Immigrant Visa section of the Embassy with a note explaining the Email. Put the NVC case number in the subject line of the Email with your Date of Birth (D.O.B.).

when emailing the embassy remember to also include names and DOB for petitioner and beneficiary.
