    Translated the K1 process in Chinese?

    Maybe but she dislikes "wasting time talking to strangers on the Internet." She also hates gossip. "My life is too busy with living" she says and who am I to argue? Of course I am shot down with that too but I am used to it! :whistle:

    here is the one of the best community and it's been around for eight plus years now: http://usa.bbs.net.

    First, the K1 process is a journey for both parties involved. Therefore, both parties should take time to understand what's involved and what it takes. I want to warn you that the interview can be very cruel and grilling. The US petitioner is not allowed to attend and she will be there all by herself. If she doesn't know what the VO is looking for then she will more than likely to fail. Information is her only friend during that 2 min interview.

    CASE NOT YET AT NVC

    in National Visa Center (Dept of State)

    Posted

    Tomorrow will be the last work day of this week. My case still has not been processed. I suddenly had a theory: Our cases have been forwarded to the NVC but the NVC hasn't entered them into the system. Only this hypothesis can explain why some June cases have already been forwarded to consulate/embassy.

    "You should receive a letter..." "Should" is the key word. First, K1 applications don't get updated on the automated system so you must have to speak with a live rep. to find out if your case has been received. Second, it can take up to 90 days before NVC receives the application. Of course, we all hope that's not the case.

    NVC

    in China

    Posted

    I am also having troubles locating my I-129F after approval. I have been calling the NVC without any results and different USCIS agent had different answers. Today, a very nice USCIS agent told me that sometime a case would be forwarded directly to the consulate or the embassy. I don't think she is correct on that info because cases can't by-pass the NVC altogether (by process and law). But if the K-1 don't get put on the system then it may "appear" as by-passing the NVC. I think that's an acceptable explaination.

    Finally, my questions: 1) Would a live NVC agent be able to tell me if my case has been processed? 2) I have heard that the NVC may or may not issue a notice to the applicant about case being forwarded to the consulate/embassy. If that happens then how can I find out my GUZ #?

    Thanks for the help and best wishes to all. :-)

    yeah...its hard to wait..but its worth it..i just want to share this...hopefullythis things is good news to us...

    the last three e-mail i got from nvc stating,( this is 3 consecutive weeks)

    The National Visa Center has received your inquiry regarding WAC**********. After searching our records, no information was found regarding this case. Please contact U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS- formerly known as INS) to verify the status of this petition.

    And last nite i got e-mail from nvc stating...

    Your inquiry indicates that the approved petition has been forwarded to

    the National Visa Center (NVC) for processing. The NVC has not yet

    received this petition from CIS (Citizenship and Immigration Services).

    ......im hoping that uscis already sent our application to nvc....and the last e-mail ddnt say to contack uscis.....i hope this is the good thing....please anybody can comment....share your thoughts..

    keeping my finger crossed....

    That's good to hear milkyway. Maybe they have your case already at NVC just that they're not giving out exact detail since they're still going to assign a case number for that.

    This morning we called up NVC since the representative called us that the USCIS sent our case to NVC before 4th of July. The operator said that they haven't got our case yet but she didn't mention about 2-4weeks or 60-90 days but instead she said "KEEP ON CALLING".

    Keeping my finger crossed too!! :)

    ..............wow....its a good news...means we keep calling them to get out new assinged case number...

    thats waht i thought!!!! maybe we can have it this week........keeping my fingers crossed!!!

    That's great!! I already wrote to NVCinquiry about our application and I hope I get good news. How long does it usually take for NVC to response? Just curious.

    Hello there Vjers,

    UPDATE: Last July 2 we called up the director's number. We got a representative who will be the one to look at our case. She said that she would call us back the following day which is July 3. Unfortunately, we didn't get any call on that day. The next day it's 4th of July - Holiday followed by weekends, so really have to wait for Monday. Finally, Monday arrived and WE GOT A CALL FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE. She said that she received an email on the same day,Monday, from the supervisor at USCIS that they sent our case to NVC before 4ht of July. I presume that if they sent out case it's not one-by-one,so I hope your cases are also there too. Goodluck to all of us. Hope we get our case numbers very very very soon.

    Thanks for the info! Although, I'd like that director's number myself. Hehehehe.. could you please PM it to me? I hope our cases will arrive at the NVC by the end of this week.

    no news from NVC

    Hi... Several of us are in the same boat as you are. See this post:

    http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=136677

    My question is that if NVC has processed our cases (fingers crossed) then the NVC should have a record of my case. So far, all I heard from the NVC was "We have no record of your case. Either you have entered a wrong case number or we have not received your case yet."

    So my conculsion is that the NVC has not received my case. I hope I am wrong ( :bonk::whistle:), of course.

    Update: I called USCIS this morning and of course, the rep gave me the cookie-cutter answer, which is also the political correct way of saying that she had absolutely no idea what is been going on. The rep. first said the processing could take 120 days. I then promptly told her that the approval notice basically said "if the NVC has not received the case after four weeks of receiving the NOA, please contact the USCIS." She replied that could also take up to five weeks. I asked her if she could check and find out where is my case and she replied no and asked me to call back after July 20th. I was not happy with the answer and asked her what she could do for me differently after July 20th and she refused to answer to that.

    Guess I will keep bugging them daily until something or someone moves! *sigh*

    :angry::crying: This is quite strange. The I-129F was approved on June 16th and I got the NOA2 in hands some ten days later. I have been calling the NVC almost daily but they do not have any records of our case. However, a friend of mine whose I-129F was approved on the same date by the same center already got the NOA2.5, which is a letter indicating the case has been forwarded to GUZ consulate! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This maybe a stupid question...

    I don't think there are any statistics but it could be since countries that have a higher rate of visa fraud would get more scrutiny.

    You should be close to getting your P-2 any day now. After that it will start to move along.

    Expect P-3 3 to 8 weeks after leaving NVC

    Expect P-4 3 to 8 weeks after returning P-3 and received by GUZ

    Good luck

    Start getting all your ducks in order. GUZ can be a real heart ache getting through......we should know!

    Thanks and best wishes to you too!

    I followed the guides found here and prepared the I-134, supporting documents and everything else. Just waiting for the NOA2. :-)

    This may be a stupid question but I gotta ask...

    We all know that the CSC takes its sweet time to issue NOA2s. But it also appears that cases involving Chinese beneficiaries are even slower (than Europeans, Japan, Philippines and etc.). Is this just my imagination?

    Understood this perfectly. Basically boils down to the government has the "monopoly" over "who-gets-in-and-who-does-not" and they create many many hoops (legal processes) for any rule-followers to jump through. It's #######, no doubt about it. Of course, you don't have to be a rule-follower and take a short cut, like using the VWP. However, you have to ask yourself the long and hard question: will you chance it?
