With the current situation with COVID-19 there is a greater propensity that they are on short staff and with embassies in the same condition all files are not being sent to the embassies till such time as they begin to return to normalcy in their work load. Please understand they are doing the best they can and that at this time patience is King. 

 

We need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks

Thanks so much for this Greenbaum! This is very helpful and I will be sure to complete my profile over the next few days to take advantage of these features 😁 I really appreciate you putting so much effort into such comprehensive advice 😊

K-1 visa:  1-603-334-0888 Operator assistance is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 12:00 midnight (Eastern Time), Monday thru Friday. 

What to Prepare Before Calling:
 
You will need the following information before you call:
– Name and date of birth of the beneficiary
– Name and date of birth of the petitioner
– Receipt number from your NOA-2

Thanks for the tips Hank_! They ended up getting back to us by email before we got a chance to call back 😊 We're onto the next step in the process.

My fiance is applying for me to get residency in the US through the fiance visa program. The petition has been accepted, but we've waited more than 30 days and still haven't received anything from the NVC. She emailed them, as recommended by the letter they sent (which said we should email them if we don't hear from them within 30 days), however the only response they sent was an automatic email saying that we should call them. When she calls them, she is unable to navigate the options to speak to a real representative, rather than the automatic messages that aren't helping her. Does anyone have experience with this who would be able to help?

First get your SSN and then go and do the courthouse/ordained person wedding and submit the papers for AOS. 

 

It doesn't matter for AOS if you will have/had a big fancy wedding or just a courthouse/ordained person marrying you at home.

The requirement to AOS (using the existing petition) is being legally married in the US within 90 days. No ceremony needed.

Great, thank you for the advice. Especially the SSN tip, that's good to know.

My fiancée lives in the US and our wedding is planned for early July this year. So long as the fiance(e) visa is accepted soon, I plan to fly to the US early to mid April to help organise the wedding. We have been considering signing the wedding papers together as soon as I arrive there before the actual wedding ceremony, so that the green card can begin processing asap, but we're not sure if that would be a good idea or if the US government wouldn't like it. What do you guys think?
