National Visa Center (Dept of State)Can't find my package by DHL shipping reference
QUOTE (conny @ Aug 9 2009, 05:56 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Thanks, guys. Has there ever been a case when "NVC sent out date" (one told by phone) was later than actual package departure date?


Probably - as Gary mentioned, there really is no definitive way to tell. If the NVC computer updates a day later than the ship date (for example) I suppose it could happen. Again though, you are probably fine - just hang in another week or two (at most) and everything should be in Kiev and ready to roll.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Can't find my package by DHL shipping reference
I would say no, at this point. There are posts about DHL/Fedex tracking issues all the time, usually noting that you can only tell that a package went out - not that your stuff was in it. Sometimes there never is anything conclusively trackeable, but the file/document arrives safe and sound somehow. Relax and wait another week or so, because it does take awhile after the consulate gets the information that it gets entered in their computer system.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)AP at NVC took only 5 days
Congrats kicking.gif kicking.gif and yes, the next thing to do is call and wait. The interview schedule seems to be much easier and faster moving now than even six months ago. Thanks to the economy you may get a rerally fast appointment. Good luck to you!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Automated message... WRONG???
We experienced both automated system and web problems. Our K-1 case number update status online showed "in process" for months after my wife was here in the US already. I would rely on what the operator told you - and call back to get your file number for the embassy from NVC.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)What is "Additional Processing" in NVC?
QUOTE (Badgerella @ Jul 27 2009, 08:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Administrative Processing and Additional Processing are exactly the same thing. It's whatever the person you get in contact with feels like saying.

This link, previously mentioned in this thread, will likely give you any and all information available.

More than likely, you will never find out was done to your case while it NVC had it and it likely won't affect the outcome of your interview.


Maybe this is why I don't understand the question being asked.

Africa: Sub-SaharanVISA Expired Re-entry
Confused here :wacko: You had a tourist? visa and overstayed? The you filed for an extension which was granted and expires June 15th? You married a USC while you were here? What is the permanent application you filed, got a form number for me? And I am not sure what you mean by you were suspended for 6 months? Were you told you couldn't enter the US again until at least six months from your departure?

Africa: Sub-Saharanfiling a petition
Nigeria is a very difficult embassy with a high number of fraud cases. Marriage on the first meeting is certainly a red flag. Probably better to make a second trip and document the entire relationship, photos with him, the family, neighbors, possibly even with newspapers in the photo to show the dates, phone logs, chat logs, affidavits from friends and family.

Africa: Sub-SaharanPost CRI Interview Question
Never buy your plane ticket until the visa is in hand. Anything can happen.
belinda63FemaleIran2012-09-04 21:04:00
Africa: Sub-SaharanK1 visa returned

We can debate the issue all day. What matters is what happened with the petition. Originally it was denied for lack of relationship and later the whole married/not married thing got brought up. Whichever reason was the real one another visit will have to happen. Best to address both possibilities as the same time and get married.


belinda63FemaleIran2014-02-26 15:47:00
Africa: Sub-SaharanK1 visa returned

That is the rule but there is a gray area between being too married for the K-1 and not married enough for the CR-1. You can't prove you didn't visit after the proxy marriage, you are married in the eyes of his family and neighbors, but you aren't married according to the rule. This happens more often than I care to think hence the warning to not have any type of ceremony prior to entry with the K-1.

 

Best bet is to meet somewhere and take care of business. Gather lots more evidence and apply for the CR-1.

Africa: Sub-SaharanAnyone awake I need help now

Sadly we have seen this or similar scams from this and other countries too often. I am glad everything is working out for you and your man and you are lucky to have people there who can check on the matter for you. If you google Nigeria and marriage scam you will see many stories similar to this.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC very slow! the agony of waiting, is this normal?
I agree NVC seems to be moving slower lately. I check the list on the Ankara Turkey website every day for my finacees security check to be complete. It used to be they would update it every Tuesday and Friday when they had received a list of new checks that were complete. Now it has been more than a week and no update.
I certainly hope things speed up. At the rate they are going our paperwork will expire before he gets his visa. And I would hate to have to pay for another medical exam when he gets here just because NVC took so long to finish the process.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC sent case to Germany but never told me
I had the same thing happen. For a K-1 you have to talk to a real person, it will never show up on the automated system. I received a letter from the embassy in Ankara about a month after it was sent to them with the case number but NEVER anything from NVC.
belinda63FemaleIran2007-09-17 09:38:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Have NVC case number but is missing when I call NVC
I know 2 years ago for K-1 visas they did not update the automated system. I called and called and our number never showed. Finally spoke to a real person and they explained do not put these numbers in the system.

Be calm, letter from the embassy will come soon.

Good luck

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Case numbers?
Is there a certain day of the week that case numbers are assigned? I talked to the operator Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and they still hadn't assigned the numbers for my in-laws. I have saw some places say Tuesday and others say Wednesday. Is there really only one day that they assign?

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Online payment - showing error

Tabta, is your IV fee bill status showing "Not paid"? I think once they accept DS-3032, IV fee bill will be available to pay then.



It is showing not invoiced. THey do not invoice it until receipt of the DS 3032

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Income Questions
I am a teacher and I started a new job In august. DO I need to include income/pay stubs for my old job?

I am also including my pay stubs at this job thus far but I only have 3 months worth since I just started.
