IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsnvc processing time

i have a question my files was approved october 1 and they say on it they sent the original visa petition ,but since i don't hear nothing from nvc ,they always say i have to wait 8 weeks ,today i called them and they said i have to send them email whith may approved notice ,and when i cheked uscis site they said 
"On November 26, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly."
my question is :i have to wait a nother 8 weekes (since November 26) or since October 1, thank you.

Your approved petition was physically sent to NVC on November 26, 2013 is what this means. You can call the DOS to get your case number. They should have it by now because I got the same message you got on Nov. 25th and I called DOS this morning to get my case. The number is 202-485-7600. Good Luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDelay in sending Approved Petition to NVC

Did your last correspondence from USCIS say " On November 22, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing." ? If so, that means the physical package has been sent to NVC. I skipped calling the NVC and called the Dept. Of State (202) 485-7600 to get my case number. You can then go to the CEAC website to see the status of your case.

Update: I called USCIS and was escalated to an Immigration Officer. After explaining the situation, they are sending a case to the TSC to have them contact me and amend the documentation. They said that either they will find the missing paper and put in the childs information or ask me to fax information to them in the next 5 days. Fingers crossed it turns out to be that easy.

We attached a separate piece of paper with the childs information and it did not make it into the system. I contacted a Lawyer and he said that I should be able to handle at the US Consulate level since the USCIS petition was for my fiancee and her K1 benefits. The children ride on her K1 and receive the K2 benefits as a result. Per the lawyer, it should not cause a delay if we can get the Embassy all the information for the child. I will keep this thread posted in-case anyone else runs into this issue.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsChild missing from I-129F petiton

Hello,

 

My fiancee and I are at the stage of this process where she received the packet 3 from the US Consulate in Singapore. We noticed that the youngest child is missing off the coverletter of who is traveling to the US. When we enquired as to why they left the youngest child off, they replied that the child WAS NOT ON the I-129K petition. She has 4 children but there were only 3 spaces for the I-129 Petition. Is this going to be a problem and should we be concerned that we have to start over? The child is 8 years old.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNeed clarification of timelines once approved

Hello VJ Members,

 

Needing some clarification of timelines. So, as I understand it, once the K-1 is approved, my fiancee will be granted a 6 month VISA and once she enters the USA, we have 90 days to marry. When does the clock start ticking for the 6 month VISA? Does the 90 days mean we have to file for an adjustment in status in that timeframe or do we have the full 6 months to file? 

 

Thank You

Is the child not on the letter over 21 years of age? Or was it just a mistake the name was left off?

 

The child is under 21. The Embassy told my fiancee to submit a DS-160 for the child left off but the concern is she never filled out DS-160's for the other children yet they showed up on the cover letter. Should she go back and fill out DS-160's for each child? They are all under 21.

I have a question related to this topic. As I understand it, the DS-156 was replaced by the DS-160. My fiancee filled out the DS-160 and there is a spot on that form to list her children, which she did. However, the cover letter she got back from embassy only listed her and a couple children but left off one. The embassy told her she needed to fill out a separate DS-160 for her child that was missing on the cover letter, however, that is confusing to us because the other children showed up. Do we need a separate DS-160 for each child? If so, then why does the DS-160 have a Children traveling with you section on it?
