k-1, NVC time frame. Please share with me your exprience
Hello all,
Please share with me your exprience about your K-1 visa. My fiancee is in Vietnam and I am in Illinois. We received our NOA from USCIS saying that our petition has ben transfered to NVC. Its been 2 weeks by now and we didnt receive any notice from NVC. Do you suggest us to call NVC to check or is there any way for us to check our petition online? I remember i read Steve's thread in here and he sems to know everything about the process with NVC. Please help me.
Thank you very much in advance.

As for our case, it took about 4 days to arrive at the NVC from the Texas Serv. Center, and then it only took the NVC about 3 days to process it and send it over to the London Consulate. But it could be different for every consulate (I think they send stuff to consulates in batches).
Good luck!

You will need to follow the prompts that will get you to a live operator because their automated system will not give you info on a K-type visa.

NVC time frames are different for everyone. Not to scare you, but my Iranian fiance's file was at NVC going through security checks for 3 months. The only way you can keep an eye on it is by calling the number provided in a previous post (603...) and speaking to a live operator if you are going for a K visa. You might be surprised and find that they've already forwarded your file to Vietnam. Also, don't count on getting correspondence from NVC saying your file has been sent. I never received a confirmation letter from them.
Best Wishes!

We got our NOA2 on June 29th from Nebraska, but it took a whole month before it got to the NVC. Dont panic yet. It only took a few days to go thru NVC and reach the Embassy and get packet 3. The automated phone system always says that they have not received your file, even after it has come and gone thru their system. It took many calls to NVC before i could reach a real person, but finally they told me it had been received. Patience, my friend...
