waiting for NVC update

[El Mehdi Gamil]

waiting for the update

Hello,

I'm a Moroccan and now resident in USA
i have received a letter from USCIS that it has been approved last October 19th, 2015 until now i didn't receive anything from the day, just my wife in Morocco received a letter from NVC 20 days ago with same instructions and with with the case number and they wrote that our case take times because they're a lot of case before us. but i was surprise because i didn't send me nothing and they sent to her.

So now It's been more than two month and i haven't heard any update from NVC .

2 questions:

1. How long it would normally take for us to receive an update or the next step to take?
2. Is there any way to check my case with my case number.

Really appreciate your help.

i filed I130 on April 10 2014, NOA1 on April 17, and case was approved on September 17 2014. i got another email on October 14 that they send it to NVC. I called NVC pretty much every day and they told me today, the case is in the building about a week ago( 27 October 2014). how long is it gonna take for NVC to assign a case number, I love my wife so much and its been more than 7 months we apart from each other. she is also so stress, and somehow she thinks that am not working on the case please help me.

How long does it take to get an interview schedule after the review of documents for an immediate relative of us citizen ?
Thank you.

We haven't received any emails or mails from NVC but when we checked the status online, it mentioned that our case is ready for the interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. But, when I tried to call my embassy to schedule an interview or just to check when will my interview be, they said that they haven't received any approved petition on my behalf. I'm so confused this time. I have filed DS160, paid the $240 application fee, had my medical exam and got the affidavit of support document. I don't know what to do next. Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Gabby,

Your fiancee needs to send you his I-134, with original signature, copy of 2013 Federal income tax return, 2013 W2 and/or 1099 forms, an employment verification letter, a few recent paystubs and bank statements. You will need to take these to your interview.

Gabby,

Normally, once your K1 package reaches the Embassy, you pay the K1 visa fee, fill out the online DS-160 form, set an interview date online or by phone, and get a medical exam. When you set an interview date, you will find out which dates are available and how far in advance. If the interview dates are not yet available or only available more than 2 months later, or if you have to wait more than a month for the Embassy to send you an interview date, the Embassy may be backed up, and your waiting period could drag on for several months.

In some cases your medical exam may show signs of TB exposure or suspicious shadows on your xray. If that is the case, additional tests and'or medications may be ordered, and your Embassy interview and visa processing may be delayed an additional 3 to 6 months.

Isn't the attorney your fiancee hired able to explain these things to both of you? Many immigration attorneys lack experience with anything beyond paperwork processing in the U.S. and that is when things begin to become very gray, because you are continuing without the benefit of advice or current information.

Gabby,

Normally, after the petition is approved by USCIS, and if the Embassy in the applicant country is not to far backlogged, it takes about 3 months more for post-USCIS processing (NVC, then meeting Embassy requirements) for a K1 visa.

Gabby,


1. Call or email the NVC and ask for your State Department case number (after giving them your petition receipt number).

2. Ask the NVC to send you by email all correspondence to start the NVC process.

Rayb,

But, i am afraid how is not my fiancè that is in USA. they think bad and this can affect my process, i wish really know my case number and if they get in the system my case, my fiancè thinks that the lawyer has reason about all, but i investigate everyday about it. So, i know that the people need to help us because the lawyer told me you need to wait until August or Sepember for the interview, but i saw many cases that dont need to wait this a long time and only take 3 months no more. Give one advice please.
