Just wanted to post this here as I wasn't sure where I had found the discussion about being put in AP at the NVC.  

https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/24/politics/travel-ban-31000/index.html

It seems to be for mostly middle eastern and some south american nations.  

I'm not just highlighting a news article, because there was one paragraph in the article that I think would be useful to anyone finding themselves in this situation.

"Some visa applicants may be eligible for a State Department waiver or fall under one of the department's exceptions, he added. Ramotowski told lawmakers Tuesday that the department has issued more than 7,600 waivers."

I can't offer any insight into what process you have to use to do this though.

I'm sure someone on this forum does have that info, maybe they will share it here because it seems the amount of people who will be facing this will be fairly large.

Apologize if this is posted somewhere else, mods feel free to trash this if it is a duplicate.

My fiancé’s job has an electronic payroll system, so all work info like payslips and W2s are store on the system and he has to print them himself. Will the embassy accept these as evidence??

 

Thanks everyone!!

They definitely will. If anything it's even better than just a copied check.

be consistent, first time i called the lady that picked up  didn't give me much info basically told me to read the NOA2 and i felt stupid haha, second lady was nicer and she did open up a little and told me exactly the date my package arrived.

from there i got another rude lady and didn't get much info (case # doesnt exist, try again ). yesterday a really lovely lady picked up and told me that it should be done soon that they're working on it.. to try calling back, she also told me that theres no need to call because i requested all info to be mail to my email and text messages and it will notified me once case # is created. by the way it has been 34 days since i received my NOA2.

I want to know how you seem to have gotten through to them atleast five or six times already. What's your secret ?

I'm currently in the same boat as the rest of you. 

Received my NOA2 on August 16th, I still have not received any correspondence from NVC. 

I emailed them twice already. I read in another post that they can take up to TWO years to respond. 

They seem to be having issues at the office, maybe shortage of workers? Because they changed their operating hours. And randomly they closed for an hour in the middle of the day today.

It's really unorganized. I finally got through the queue last week just to have the woman tell me they had received my case that same day and that they normally process K1 visas quickly. 

I expected this to be the easy part after getting approved from USCIS. But NVC seems to be incompetently handling their workload.
