    when you can submit an inquiry is based on when 93% have been adjudicated, 80% is just the average they give but 93% seems to be what they consider 'normal'.

    weird, adding photo isn't part of page one should be given names, marital status, dob and place of birth then save if you didn't make it to this first save point then your application doesn't exist yet, you have to start over
  3. AndiB
    had you entered your surname, yr of birth and saved before it timed out? If you haven't then no record exists which is why it can't find it for instance it timed out half way through first page for me so i had to start over

    you have to pay a fee to embassy, just not to nvc. Check status on CEAC and it should go in transit on a shipping day then to ready when embassy has it. Steps are embassy dependent so can't tell you
  5. AndiB
    I don't think it went straight to embassy. They have to go through nvc
  6. AndiB
    it varies by consulate, some do ask you to pay at interview
  7. AndiB
    you don't need to reply to every person 😂 yes, I did mine through website, you're supposed to
  8. AndiB
    google nvc inquiry and it'll show you the page where you submit one

    it's different for every embassy, I booked online with mine once case was ready but some have to wait for embassy to contact them and/or assign one
  10. AndiB
    Case ready and interview booked for 14 Dec! Could do earlier but complicated with work as I'm no where near my embassy

    i submitted public inquiry and number is based on date it was made so you can work it out. I could then track it on CEAC casestatus. They also email the petitioner when it goes into transit with a k1-FTP attached which will have a casenumber included. I just inquired to a. get an idea of if we'd ship this week as we're about to be a lil off grid in Nov and b. my petitoner likes to sleep in so I didn't want to rely on him to see if we'd gone into transit. You only get an email from nvc if you inquire or when it goes in transit. To calc case number creation date:

    Something seems up with 21st NOA2s that were put online on 23rd as a few seem to be getting theirs later than other 21st Sept. Anyway, only inquired twice but 13th Oct: Received 17th Oct: case number made and received Hoping for transit next week case number or received? There is a delay between NVC receiving your case and processing it.

    You don't get an invoice number, you want case status on CEAC and choose immigration, it will only ask for case number. You can't request transfer without proof of residence in another country, I know someone who did for Serbia but submitted residence documents. I believe Russians are getting schegnan visa by essentially lying about which country they intent to use it for sadly. I would look for a russian group to chat with on how they're doing things.

    I believe you have your answer which is don't risk it on a k1. If you have a k1 processing, def not faster to do spousal so only benefit is if you prioritise gc/ being in status continuously over time. I just got my approval and theoretically could have visa in hand within 14months of filling. Yes the uscis website says 16.5 months but vast majority are getting approved at 11-13months right now with it speeding up a bit every month. Good luck!

    Both here and the fb group for UK. After some digging it seems most likely they had nationality + passport to their home country as well as lacked a passport for the country the interviewed in. Think one was Thailand but UK one I remember clearly it was a gal who hadn't lived in Spain since she was 11 so didn't think she needed a pcc but was told to and sent into AP until it was produced. So as long as I don't have nationality/passport for birth country i should be fine.

    Looking for experience from anyone who inmigrated as a child and has citizenship in a new country. Did you need your police cert from your home country for k1 interview? Please dont quote 'you dont need police certs if you were under 16'. Ive seen numerous cases of people needing it despite leaving as a child but they didn't have citizenship for their interview country.
  18. AndiB
    sure it'll be fine, I don't think slow down really happened much last yr but difficult to judge. I just got mine just short of 11months even with the summer number chaos

    Howdy, just snuck in at end of month NOA1: 24th Oct 2022 NOA2: 23rd Sept 2023
  20. AndiB
    Approved today! We're still in shock as we expected late oct NOA1: 24th Oct 2022 NOA2: 23 Sept 2023 Just under 11months ❤️ If I had my together I could be in US by xmas/new years so k1 can be done in 14months now ❤️

    Numbers are good this week. Oct is weird in that they're approving cases from 3-20th Oct (range 07500) which is a wide range to have in week 1. Lots happening last week or so of Sept too. Hopefully decent next week, wouldn't expect an ave over 250/day but glad we seem to be out of the slump. My VJ estimate jumped all the way into Oct now too 😍
  22. AndiB
    numbers seem to be catching up a bit after last weeks. I assume late entries as we never really see a day over 200-250 that isn't paired with a bad day or from weekend. Also yh they started Oct 🎉
  23. AndiB
    There was a tool outage + holiday this week. Hopefully see backfill tomorrow 🤞 def been discouraging though

    You won't be able to expedite. It would only be if it was a USCIS error, it was your (or rather your lawyers) error so USCIS won't care. I don't know if being in the system here helps and I imagine if it did, it would for I-130 too as still USCIS. If you think spousal has benefits over k1 that appeal to you and you have a trip coming up anyway, go for that. If you couldn't meet for a long time maybe K1 would be better time wise but otherwise go for spousal.

    no, it was covid backlog + hiring freeze. Times are slowly decreasing as they catch up. It's not a fast process
