you should call embassy and asked them if they have received pkg from nvc, at that time inform them how and where to contact you

I know right. I had congressional liaison's office contact NVC concerning K1 procesing. Only thing that he was able to get is that all K1 visas are being handled expeditiously and that they are going through normal required procesing.

Is anyone experiencing additional processing time at NVC? My case was recived and case number issued Aug 15th but is held for additional processing. After waiting 6 months for NOA 2, K1 visa approval, I really expected to go just through NVC and on to the Kiev embassy.

That is the only number I ever used 1-800-375-5283

You have to listen to automated messages and wait for an option to speak with an agent

I waited 5 months to request expedite request, however if you think you have the case that is deserving of expedite review you should call immediately

You are allowed to place new expedite request after one week from original. This time you probably want to use financial hardship.

You can call USCIS and request expedite process over the phone. They will give you list of the options under which you would consider your situation to be eligible for expedite review. I called as my fiancee lives in eastern part of Ukraine and lost of income falls under financial hardship plus I have sent her money by westernunion, I also explained that current war was going all over around her and that food, electricity, and water were in short supplies making it also Humanitarian reason for case expedite. They approved my request in 5 days and my petition in 2 weeks time

Finally approved... Checked my case status on USCIS website . On August 1, 2014, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Hope many more people will wake up tomorrow with good news as well

You should call USCIS and request expedite case. Based on current situation in country you should receive it easily. As long as he is not drafted by Ukrainian army he should be fine. I suggest he applies for his police clearance around the same time as when you request expedited on your case.

Good luck to both of you!!
