Ok, thanks everybody. My fiance's interview will be in Moscow also. Mark, when they sent her the package did that include the interview date or did she have to return a form before they would schedule it?

We got the interview date via email. So they scheduled it prior to sending the packet. They told us they sent the packet out on the 19th of October, Nina got it today, (13 Nov), and it was post-marked 31 October.

When I contacted the Embassy in moscow asking if they had received our case, they sent me an email stating they had and aslo wrote this... "An information packet was sent to Ms. Nina on October 19 however, you can find the list of all the required documents on our website at www.usembassy.ru." So I am guessing the info on the site is updated and accurate. Hope this helps.

How does one find out what day the cousulate receives the package when the NVC forwards it to them?

Thanks in advance.

Wow, that's great news!

I was sending out good vibes, they must have worked!

LOL! thanks Jenn. I owe you big time!!

Congratulations!

But why did they hold it for a year?

Security checks they say, but I figure someone lost the security check request or something close to it.

After the NVC holding our package for more than a year, they have finally forwarded it to the Embassy! Yeah baby! Yahoo!!!

what?!

Congrats anyhow!!

Yeah, thats right. We have been waiting on the NVC for more than a year. It took a Senators Aid, )and much complaining by me), to shake it loose. But finally it has been sent on to the embassy.

The NVC received our paperwork about this time last year from the USCIS. If I remember correctly, it took 1 to 2 weeks for them to get it into the computer. Now I am still waiting for security checks to clear so they will forward it to the Embassy. Thats right, the NVC has had our case for 1 year with no progress. Now thats some "fun" waiting! Hope you all have better luck than we have!

Nina and I have been waiting 1 year for her security checks to clear the FBI. Now I have learned, with help from my Senators aid, the FBI never received the security check request from the NVC. I had to call the NVC and tell them this, otherwise they would never had known. NOW they are looking into our case. Great tracking system they have. If I had not done my homework, I would have been waiting forever! Glad to see our tax dollars hard at work. Hope the rest of you have better luck!

I have been calling the NVC phone number to find out about my case for a while now. I received the NOA2 about 4 weeks ago and, according to the NOA2 and this site, our paperwork should've been forwarded to her consulate by now. Today when I talked to a live person at the NVC they explained that the case is under "administrative review" and due to "the events on September 11th" some cases are taking longer to review than usual. When I asked how long it would take, they told me that they were unable to provide any estimate. When I asked why the automated phone line still does not have our case she explained that it will probably never be in the automated system since "the case is not being reviewed in this office".

Has anyone had this problem before? According to everywhere I look the usual time for the NVC to process a case is about 2 weeks... did we somehow get selected for special treatment.

Looking for consolation,

Db, My K1 visa for my fiancee has been delayed since Oct 3 of 2005. I get the same responses to my questions as well. From what I read on line about such delays, it may be that my fiancee's name triggered thier data base computer to red flag it, meaning, her name is the same, or similair to someone else with a criminal record so they must do additional security checks to be sure she is not this person with a criminal record. Good luck!
