K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTracking progress through NVC to embassy
Congratulations on your approval...

You can call NVC 603-334-0700, 1, 5 to talk to someone and they can tell you if they've received your case and give you your new number. Best to call late at night.

Then you can track your petition to the Consulate using DHL by reading how here

Moves pretty quick through the NVC so you may find it's already left to London.

Good luck.

security checks can take quite some time. With previous petitions...new IMBRA laws... name and database checks...etc. You're obviously 'on hold' because of something and you should at least be able to find out why.

Our poor Sara (estadia) has been waiting a year now for her K1 petition to be approved at the USCIS.

They will usually give the standard 'we are processing....' answer but every now and then you can get someone who will tell you something about your case. I'd keep calling for sure. wink.gif

Historically, VSC has taken anywhere from just a couple of weeks to 6+ months or more. Currently they are taking 3+ months with no RFE.

If you notice the OP's timeline, it's been quite a long wait. My guess is that it is stuck in a check of some sort and is taking longer.

I do hope you see your approval soon.

CSC seems to be picking the pace up at least. Best wishes to you folks.

Congratulations getting your petition sent out. Yes, now you wait. When your check is cahsed you can get your EAC # and register with the uscis.gov website. When you see the date change you have been 'touched'. Can mean anything or nothing at all. wink.gif

Right now Vermont is approving petitions in about 3+ months but processing times change all the time. The interview stage of the process varies greatly depending on the Consulate. Check the Portals and Embassy Info link to get a better idea.

Time to put on your patience hat! wink.gif Good luck.

Did anybody try to go to CSC and talk with an immigration officer b4? I'm just curious if this is possible.


I don't know about that but not even sending the adjuticators chocolates did any good. laughing.gif


Sara, I don't even have words to help soothe your spirit anymore. sad.gif One thing I did think of the other day that i'm not sure you've done yet is contact the ombudsman for help. I remember a few couples getting help last year from him. Worth a shot if you haven't contacted him yet.

Until then, you know where to find me if and when you need an ear. Stay strong darling! We're all on your side.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNotice via Email
You are only emailed regarding your case when you sign up with the USCIS website and tick the box to receive email notifications. You are only sent these notifications for NOA and/or RFE. When someone says they have been 'touched' it merely means the date on the uscis page has changed. You will not receive an email.
KimandRussFemaleNew Zealand2008-07-23 10:07:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSo here's a question...what is longest on record....
If you're talking about Nich-Nick, that was a pretty average time for March VSC filers. In January they were approving in less than a month. A few months earlier it was taking 6 months. There is often fluctuations in processing times. VSC is historically faster.

good luck to you

A congressman will tell you what the uscis would tell you. 'they are processing dates from whatever date is posted on their website. '

There are many folks still waiting with that noa1 date... and many approved that filed after. Nature of the beast.

I don't think it's quite time to panic.

Hi John, welcome to VJ. smile.gif

There is no rhyme or reason, sorry. Once your case is received and processed (noa1), your check is separated from your petition which is then put into a universal format and stored in a box with other files. Once an adjuticator is done working on a box they go get another box full of petitions. Some adjuticators work faster than others... some vacation... work different hours... etc. This is why we see the disparity in dates.

This post will explain the process to you a little better.

I'm sure your time is soon. Try to stay strong. smile.gif
KimandRussFemaleNew Zealand2008-07-23 16:34:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsjust talked to csc again
We're still in your corner Sara.

Maybe the fact that it was assigned to a new officer is good news for you. Perhaps they are done with yet another security check or passed it to the person at the top who ultimately makes the decision since it's been so long.

Honestly, I don't know what you can believe from them unsure.gif ..but at least it's something new, eh?

I know you don't want to keep getting your hopes up only to be let down so i'm just going to remind you that you have been a pillar of strength and a source of support to everyone else here all this time and we're all here to help hold you up when it's hard.

You have gone this far and you'll get the rest of the way. Stand strong... keep bugging them and hold on to your faith and love for perviz.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA-2
Congratulations!

You just need to be sure your paperwork is at the Consulate before your medical results are mailed to them. Otherwise they wont know what to do with it. Some doc's will require just your new A number and some will want the paperwork. Not sure how it works in Canada but i'm sure someone else will chime in.

You will need to use one of their doctor's though. They are chosen specifically.

Good luck through the rest of it!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproved?
The USCIS does update case status online. If you register with them and ticked the 'yes' box to receive emails you receive an automated email when either a) you get your approval or cool.gif you get an RFE. To be touched is when the case status online date has changed... like this.
KimandRussFemaleNew Zealand2008-07-25 17:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproved?
It depends if they get it right the first time. wink.gif Call DOS and tell them about the address and embassy changes as well.

The other posters are correct. CSC has a long history of not updating their case status online and people are often surprised in their mailbox with a noa2!

Congratulations!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUpdate after approval?
You need to call NVC 603-334-0700, 1, 5 to talk to someone and they can tell you.
KimandRussFemaleNew Zealand2008-07-25 08:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUpdate after approval?
Lots of people are touched right after approval. A former adjuticator explained it as the petition being prepared for NVC. Obviously not everyone is 'touched' but it's frequent enough that people find they are touched and soon after their petition arrives at NVC.

CSC went through a spell not too long ago where it was stated they were holding petitions until a pallet was filled to ship across Country. It was taking quite some time for some people (bottom of the pallet). It does seem they are sending them right over now so i'm not sure about yours. Perhaps you (the USC) can make an infopass appointment to try to find out where it is.

The way the process is described to us by a former adjuticator may help explain why there are groups of folks still waiting.
