The National Visa Center (NVC) received your fiancé (e)’s/spouse’s approved I-129F petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). NVC will now forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Please note that the transfer process can take several weeks. The U.S. Embassy or Consulate will contact your fiancé (e)/spouse when they are ready to process his or her petition.

Next steps:

Go to our website http://nvc.state.gov/k1 to learn how to apply for a K visa and prepare for the visa interview.

Please keep the following information for your records:

Emailed received from nvc this afternoon saying case is in transit. Me and fiance both received it.  About a 6 hour difference between ceac and the email.

Case in transit to embassy today.  Updated this morning.

Hey everyone.

I have a question about when to book my flights.

I know it says not to book the flights until you get your passport back with the visa in, but why is that?

I'm just a little concerned as I also am flying my cat over and they need 3 weeks to get him onto a flight, and obviously I want to fly ASAP.

Is it worth the risk booking us on a flight together or should I REALLY wait till I have my passport back?

I have the visa stamp can take from 2-10 days and then you pick it up and if they made a mistake you are suppose to have it fixed before you travel.  

Instructions for all embassies.

this may help explain the process some but it is a little different for k1 visas.

Trying to Register on the site http://www.ustraveldocs.com, I got this message, can someone help me with this?

I do not believe you can register on the nvc site.  You can only give them your email and once you get the case number track it here.

What’s the site for this?

I tried finding the site and gave up. I just called every other day until they said i had a cAse number and then i asked about the email.  Nvc said i had an email on file and then i gave them the fiance email and received the email notification two hours later.  

I did however email them before and ask them to update my email.

After the NOA2, it moves to the NVC, then it's entered in their system I guess and we receive several number including the case number. What makes/qualifies our package to be sent to the embassy? Does the petitioner have to send anything to NVC? Or does it vary by embassy? 

 

What actually does the NVC letter state? 

Nothing meeds to be done except signing up for the email notification so you know when you have a case number.  Once you get a case number you wait for them to send to the embassy and the embassy to send you a package.

my Fiancee called today they told her that our case is in transit to Santo Domingo since yesterday, and they give her an Invoice number and our case Number.

Did you enter the code also.  And the message comes up as a pop up window and tells you the status.

Every document that you submit at your interview with your Embassy must be transcribed to English. So having the ds-160 form in a different language will help your case but delay it.

Our embassy says english or spanish is fine.

Case received 9-20 cAse number assigned 9-24.  Waiting for nvc to send to embassy.

Ds160 question

has anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf with the united states citzenship and immigration services?

does our k1 make this a yes answer???!

What is the LDN number??  The number for the embassy??   About a week to receive the noa2 for me by mail and it took 2 weeks for nvc to receive my case.  Still waiting on my case number from nvc.

Called today nvc has received my case, 2 weeks to receive.  They said i can not sign up for emails until my case number is assigned.

they said up to 6 weeks to receive and up to 8 weeks for a case number.  I think the average is 1-4 weeks total from what i have read.

I requested vj remove my wac# i did not see it when i posted.  Thanks for people letting me know.  

The february 6 date is not what they are processing.  That date is when you are out of normal processing times and can file an inquiry.  The majority of dates they are working are the end of february and starting march.  Those earlier than mid february probably have an rfe.  When you are talking about 3500 cases in feb and 4000 in march i am speaking in general terms.     The vj timeline on here is fairly accurate for most people without an rfe.

This is only using vj samples which are around 10% or less of all people that file which is a good enough sample to give you an idea. 

http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/monthly_filers.php?form=1&visa=1&scenter=1&option=3&sortby=2

if you look at the chart for past months only 70% report or update their timeline.  Oct nov dec is around 70% so there are very few left.  January around 60% so around 10% of january is left.  February is at 45% approximately which is really 58% if only 70% reports or updates their timeline.  

A Feburary 27 was approved today.  That is two calendar days from March😀
