K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSpoke to NVC again
I spoke to the NVC again today... there is no sign of the petition. I was told that once 90 days from the date on the NOA2 have passed, to phone the NVC and they will tell us what to do. That date will be the 22nd March 2006. I just do not know what to make of any of this... I really feel low in spirit thanks to this.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPetition sent to NRC


Thanks Lorelle - though it seems likely that it will take a few months before I am with Paul.

It might not even take that long, Melo. One of our apps was mistakenly sent to NRC out of turn. Once brought to their attention, they dug it up and we had our result within two weeks.

Fingers crossed!

I do so hope you are right :star:

Well at least they found it!! :blink:


I agree with that whole-heartedly :yes: :yes: :yes:

It sure has been a drama Anja... what I do not understand is why the NRC does not send the damned thing back to the USCIS when they receive something erroneously :blink:

Melo glad to hear that you finally know something about your missing file.

It is a relief to know where it is... though it seems it will take at least another two months before it gets to the consulate... which is most frustrating :bonk:

What is NRC? The National Research Council?


The NRC is the National Records Centre :blink:

Spoke to the USCIS today and was told that our petition was sent to the NRC instead of the NVC... that it will take between 30 - 45 days for the file to reach the USCIS again... then it will be sent to the NVC... so on and so forth... at least we know where the damned thing is now... :blink:

Well we were touched on the 7th March 2006. What could that mean now? Would it be back at the USCIS? Logically speaking that is what it would seem to be. I guess it will not be long before it reaches the NVC.

I hope I hope I hope (L)

I used to do drugs... but it has been over 25 years since I did any... so am not worried. I drink only once in a while now... I only smoke ciggies (yep I am back to smoking coz the stress of this whole process has gotten to me) and take prescription medicines.. tons of that it seems :blink:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHad not wanted to say anything
This is such a huge mess... the NVC has not recieved the petition; the USCIS won't tell us anything... they say they will write to Paul. Paul is moving lock stock and barrell from Odessa to Houston on Saturday. I just do not know what to do anymore... I called the NVC today and they do not have the petition - they will respond to the fax I sent on the 16th anywhere between 2-4 weeks from the date it was sent. The USCIS automated system says they cannot find the petition due to some problem with their system. Suffice to say this is killing me slowly but surely.

:thumbs: Relax now, the dark hole period is almost over. Once they've sent it to NVC sometimes it takes 2 weeks or so to get to the consulate because it's sent via packet mail meaning it's grabbed every week or so and sent out all at once. Believe me your almost there, hang on help is coming.


I think you are completely misunderstanding the situation. The OP received their NOA2 on December 29th! If things were going normally they should have been through the NVC long ago and already onto the consulate. (Melo if I'm getting your story wrong just tell me!).
I really hope you get the situation resolved soon!! Good luck! :)


You are correct in what you say... a few weeks ago we were told they had sent it to the NRC instead of the NVC - they said they had asked for them to send it back... we were touched on the 7th March... but the NVC has not got it... the USCIS won't tell us anything... Paul is livid coz of the manner in which they spoke to him yesterday and I am reaching breaking point.

Thank you Cassie for your concern... I am extremely stressed... just don't know what to do anymore

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHad not wanted to say anything
Things seem to be going downhill again. I had not wanted to say anything but I am really close to falling apart... I have been phoning the USCIS - they refuse to give me information. I have been told that I am not entitled to it; one of those that I spoke to even said that it was someone else's case - so I said my fiance petitioned for me... there was a gruding yes when I gave them Paul's full name - followed by you are not entitled to any information. Paul called them yesterday and he was livid - told me never to ask him to call that place again. Well I called again today and was told that they could not give me information. I told them that as far as we know they can give info to the petitioner and the beneficiary - I was asked where I heard that so told them it is on the automated system when you call - so they said only general info to the beneficiary. I was told that the petition was either at the NVC or on its way to the Consulate. I was asked to tell Paul to call - I said he called yesterday and he was not given any info. This woman said you mean he was not given info he wants.

I then phoned the NVC - was asked to send them a fax of the NOA2 with Attn: WC followed by an address written on it. Paul sent them such a fax some weeks ago. Anyway, I phoned Paul and he is still in a vile mood from yesterday's encounter with the USCIS.

A short while ago, I got an email that I have copied below. I do not know what is happening and I am falling apart... can anyone advise me as to what should be done?

It takes Delhi about a month to send out the interview letter and the interview is usually a month after the letter arrives. So I would say you are probably looking at about May/June interview. Have fun!


Would there be any allowance for the fact that the USCIS screwed up and that I am not an Indian instead am a Brit (close ally)?


Hummm...not sure, but I am inclined to say "doubt it". Delhi is probably going to book interviews based on how they are received from NVC. I am not familiar with your full story, are you not a true resident of India? Were you married in India? Is that why the interview is set there?

Well, either way, good luck!


I am going on a K1 visa and stupidly chose to have it sent to New Delhi instead of London so I could spend time with my parents...

Thank you Lisz, Peggy, Carola, Janice and everyone that I have missed out... am over the moon... so happy I cannot sleep :lol:
