    ryvfader got a reaction from slavaskii in Troubleshooting the Post-NVC Stage [Warsaw]   
    Call TravelDocs ASAP and explain the situation, highly recommend your fiance do this as I had a lot of issues with getting resolutions anytime I called them. I wish I could say whether it's an issue or not but it's best to get proactive with it now. Our response times when TravelDocs had to contact the embassy ranged from flatout ignored to over a month. 
     
    For case numbers, I'm not sure there, I remember when we completed her DS-160 I made a point to basically plaster the WRW and USCIS case numbers into any box it could be pertinent in. 
     
    For your last general question I actually have better specifics. The NVC actually told me specifically Warsaw is accepting cases and it would be sent out within a week when I called to get my NVC case numbers, so I assume it's sent automatically if the embassy is open for that visa type. The embassy can pull up any present or past information and at this point I would bet retirement money also applications and issued visas based off her PII in the I-129F. So if they pull her up they should see she has a DS-160 for a K1 submitted as well. I have somewhat strong reason to believe they are reviewing these prior to her interview as well and they will see it. HOWEVER, call and get clarification on your situation ASAP, send emails, get a firm response. I know Warsaw is considered a better embassy but our experience has been a nightmare with them and you're too close to getting closure in all of this to trust them to get it right.

    Obvious disclaimer, no one knows what will happen but the consulate and it could always go sideways up until she is past the POE and lawfully admitted to the US.
     
    HOWEVER, from everything I've been able to gather, rapid fire updates of the case status followed by a change to NIV status and a new "case creation" date seems to indicate crossing of T's and dotting of I's prior to visa issue.

    ryvfader got a reaction from slavaskii in Covid entry for K1 - counts as non-immigrant so now needs vaccine???   
    The CDC website appears to be pretty clear on this now. Additionally since this extra clarification was not on the CDC website at the time of our interview we asked during the interview and the answer was very clearly no, you will not be permitted on a flight to the US as a K1 holder without a completed WHO approved vaccine unless you meet one of the exception criterias. 
     
    I would look into the rebooking options under the COVID flexibility now as most airlines seem to be offering free rebooking just paying any cost differences in the flights.

    I got the serology done as soon as our petition got approved. My vet is used to sending dogs abroad so they knew which lab were certified for international dog transportation. They took the sample and shipped it to a country with a certified lab.

    ryvfader got a reaction from stag in Changing Address during K1 Process   
    Change it ASAP. I submitted my I129f using a PO box and updated mine to the physical address once I closed on my house. Updated the address using the online form.
     
    NOA2 arrived to the updated address without issues. 
     
    On a side note, I was in Tbilisi earlier this week. First time in Georgia and only for a few days to pick up our dog before the import suspension. But absolutely lovely country and nearly ate myself fat the food was so good.

    Really it just comes down to ease of access to transparent information. They have people processing these immigration applications until their eyes bleed and it's a thankless job. No one is meeting the person/team that adjudicated their petition and buying them a pack of beer for all the work they do. A lot of the frustration that gets directed at a underfunded, understaffed organization weighed down by red tape and the whims of immigraton policy could be resolved by having accurate information readily available on something that for most is a very emotionally charged part of their life.

    If you pull their quarterly service wide form data current processing times for FY21 were 8 months in Q1, 8.1 months in Q2 with 21,106 outstanding cases at the end of March. 
     
    "9) Processing times are defined as the number of months it took for an application, petition, or request to be processed from receipt to completion in a given time period. The number of months presented is the median which is the time it took to complete 50% of all the cases processed in the quarter."
     
    If you use the Q1/Q2 processing times and base your estimates on that then I wouldn't expect November to reach 50% completion until at least the later end of July. 
    As to why the USCIS processing times page doesn't reflect this, I don't know. But their service wide data charts reflect more accurately to what we are actually seeing real world.

    At this point I'm honestly not even remotely sure on this, but feel that it is likely accurate and skewing their data. The fact they processed a handful of November cases almost exactly two months ago certainly makes an arguement. The only odd part is that the number of November cases processed in April/Early may was just a fraction of even total November 1-15th cases. Nowhere near the 50% their website claims should have been completed just by May. I think they along with padding their times with those "advance" cases getting processed are also playing a bit fast and easy with their numbers overall.

    USCIS estimated processing times have gone down again, new dates for outside of normal processing times are cases received before 15 November 2021. Time for a lot of folks to start submitting their outside processing time tickets. Granted we all already know that since these numbers are based off data from two months ago if you genuinely believe them to be accurate you're also buying bridges from door to door salesmen.

    ryvfader got a reaction from Locito in New US Dog Entry Ban 14 July 2021   
    https://www.cdc.gov/importation/bringing-an-animal-into-the-united-states/high-risk.html
     
    I just wanted to share this for those who are planning to bring their dog type furry children with them to the US.
     
    On 14 July 2021 the CDC will temporarily suspend the entry of dogs from a large number of countries worldwide, with exemptions available for US citizens or permanent residents relocating to the US. It's unclear how this will impact a K1 entry as there is no permanent residency until after AOS. As of now entries (after 14 July) with a dog can only be made through JFK. Permits must be applied for 30 days prior to travel, with required laboratory work to ensure antibodies against Rabies completed 3 months prior to travel.

    Looks like they are pressing strong with the I-129F's, 138 November 2nd petitions today alone, compare this to an average total of about 20 a week prior to the end of last week. Good to see folks here are seeing their receipts drop, very encouraging.

    Also, additional hope for you October filers. So far for today day I'm counting 28 I-129F's getting NOA-1s generated, with four additional from yesterday. All have receipt dates for 30 October. This is the single biggest movement in I-129F NOA-1s since before Christmas. Since the holidays we have been seeing around 20 total per week, so counting 28 before the end of a single business day is very encouraging.
