How long does it take for the embassy to actually receive and process the k1 visa petition?

I called the NVC last week and they said that they sent the package to the seoul embassy on June 15th. It is now July 3rd. Is it normal to take more than 3 weeks to hear from the embassy?

My finacee called the embassy but they didn't tell her if they had received the package or not.. in fact they were very vague and general. All they said was to wait and that they'd email something once they process it.

I called the NVC today and apparently my k1 visa petition arrived at the NVC and now it's just waiting to be processed. The person told me it would take up to 2 weeks to process. Does it really take 2 weeks?? I thought it takes 3-4 days after arriving

I called the 603 334 0888 number and told them my case number, and she asked if I was getting the number from an approval notice that was sent (which was a bad sign already, meaning she could likely see there was nothing in the system). I said no I did not have an approval notice, and she told me to call USCIS.

 

Sometimes I think I would rather just be ignorant to what's going on than to know my case is still in received. Oh well, was worth a try. 

Sigh I got a similar response from the NVC. They told me they couldnt find my receipt number in the system and asked for my approval number which i dont have. I guess my case is still being processed at uscis..

I was referring to the approvals that never got logged to the online status checker for people who got approved. My estimate is that there are 800 approvals that SHOULD be in the data that are not. So subtract 800 from the untouched count, and you have a good idea how many Jan files are in received (untouched). This is based on the average daily approval count over the two weeks prior to when the online checker stopped working, which was about 70 approvals per day. My assumption could be dead wrong though. And this is why I have not been publishing data

If there really are 800 approvals.... then there are not  a lot of untouched jan files left... sigh.... It's been about 125 days since our NOA1 date...

who would have thought I would be one of the unlucky ones that wouldn't get a response until late lol i guess nobody expects or hopes for that. It would really suck if after all this we get an RFE. Although frustrating that we haven't gotten an approval or any response, I supposed I should count my blessing and be thankful that I haven't gotten an RFE or denial either.

Ran the 5/18 stats last night. Please remember that we are missing about 800 approvals in this data it seems. So untouched is much lower that what is seen here. I figured this would be helpful regardless.

Does that mean that 800 cases are still untouched?

Still no noa2 in the mail or online. Have you gotten a response from your congress person? I am thinking about sending a letter/email to my congress person tonight.

No problem. I googled who my congress person is, I think every state has different districts and there's a congressman or woman assigned to each district. You can put in your zip code and congress representative in google and it should come up. On their website there should be a contact tab and see if you can send them an email, they'll reply to you and ask for your receipt number and your fiancés name and they'll send you a form to sign for privacy info release and once they send it to USCIS, they have 48 hours to reply to your local rep. 

Would it be okay if you could share with us what you sent to your congress person? I looked up my congress person and noticed they have an entire section on their website under "services" for "help with federal agencies". Debating on if I should send an email and what I should write.

You enter the wac number like how you text on the old phones (922), then after you hear your case status,  you select to speak about a problem with your case and you will steak to a representative,  just make sure you get to a tier 2 officer.

Do you specifically ask for a tier 2 officer?

what number did you call and which option did you chose to speak with a live person ?

I used their national customer service line which is 1 800 375 5283 and just pressed the options for checking a case until they directed me to an operator.

is there another number i can use to check my case?

For sure the online system is broken,  i just finally got to speak to someone useful at USCIS and they said the decision will be received by mail within 7-14 days.

How did you get them to inform you of the decision?? i thought they usually just give the standard response of whatever is "official."

I just tried to call USCIS. I don't understand. They said they're still working on november cases as of April 17th, 2017. How are people receiving approvals and RFEs from january if they're still on november?... This wait for for the NOA2 is so stressful. 

They told me to call back if i don't hear anything from them in 2 months since they are technically working on november.
