  1. Same here When you contact the NVC they say it depends on the embassy, and when you contact the embassy they say it depends on the NVC. I think for my mental health I'm going to take a break from this forum because seeing more recent cases get shipped while I sit around worrying is making the waiting ten times worse.
  2. Oh just throwing myself what is now my routine bi-weekly pity party during the 48-hour window when the NVC graciously ships a handful of cases that never include mine 🤪 While psychologically preparing to spend Christmas without my fiancé as there will be a minimum 6-month wait for the interview once my Embassy receives my case
  3. Congratulations ☺️ It might just be a late "in transit" CEAC update? This forum is my only source on the Tuesday/Wednesday bi-monthly shipping pattern so no idea whether it's still accurate...
  4. Have you tried contacting your US senator/congressperson? My fiancé contacted his and they were able to reach the NVC by phone and confirmed that there was no problem with our case. They still can't provide a timeline for shipping but it's reassuring to know that our case hasn't been lost or other bad news. They also said cases weren't necessarily shipped rigorously in the chronological order they had arrived at NVC. Nothing very conclusive but it makes a nice change from the automatic/unreliable replies to online public inquiries!
  5. As I mentioned in my initial message, while some embassies have to request new cases for the NVC to send them, my Embassy (Paris) told me that they don't need to request cases and that the NVC just sends them as they arrive. We haven't been shipped this week so it's going to be 8 weeks at the time of the next shipment. Another Franco-American couple on this thread with the same timeline had their case shipped in only 4 weeks so now I'm really worried Is there an option to contact your Congress representative? I think it's something people do when their case is outside of normal processing times. But then I don't see an indication of normal processing times (beyond the "timeframe" page) on the NVC's website, unlike the USCIS. I hope your situation gets resolved soon...
  6. This NVC stage is so stressful it's "only" been 6 weeks for us but other couples with the same timeline and Embassy have already been shipped and were able to schedule their interview so now I'm wondering what is wrong with our case. It doesn't help that the NVC doesn't take phone calls and provides no information whatsoever besides the case number they assign. And the longer this stage (arbitrarily) takes, the longer we have to wait to get an interview...
  7. That's such a long wait 😔 I really hope the NVC ships our case this week or it will take even longer... In any case thank you for this precious information!!! And good luck for the rest of the process 🙂
  8. Hello everyone! For context, my fiancé (U.S. citizen) and I (French citizen) are trying to get me a K-1 visa. Our I-129F petition was approved last month and the NVC assigned us our case number on April 9. Based on what I read on the forum, for K-1 applications, the NVC doesn't do anything besides assigning a case number and then forwarding the case to the Embassy. While some embassies have to request new cases for the NVC to send them, my Embassy (Paris) told me that they don't need to request cases and that the NVC just sends them as they arrive. So why hasn't the NVC shipped my case yet? Is there a limit to the number of cases that can be shipped every two weeks and therefore a waiting line for those ready to ship? I am in desperate search of a rationale here... Thank you in advance for any insights!
