How does one confirm invoice ID for K1 visa?

Did you receive a letter from the NVC stating that your case has been sent to the embassy, if so it is usually on the letter

Shinobix:
Greetings to the house.
I need the help and expertise of those here.
I got a K1 visa refusal 221g to provide additional information I-864 which I have sent with my passport via DHL to the embassy.

I want to confirm, is there anywhere I’m supposed to upload those documents as well?

Does anyone have a scanned copy (back page in particular) of the additional information request letter?


Lastly, what is the timeline before I get my passport back from the embassy

1. Follow the instructions on the 221g request they gave you on how and where to send your documents

2. What about your own copy they gave you at the embassy, just curious!

3. There’s no timeline to get your passport back you will only get it whenever embassy is done with your case, it could be sooner or……..

Hello,

I have been trying to schedule interview date for the past 1 month but haven't gotten.

I read in previous posts that there is a WhatsApp group for interview date. Has anyone been able to secure a date?

Your responses would be appreciated.

Thanks

My fiancé’s police report has a three month deadline. Does he need to do a new one or can he still go to the embassy with that one even after it passes the expiration date?

Yes he can go to the embassy with it, police reports had 2 years validity the three months you saw is not the real validity

Hello fam!
I'm a K1 beneficiary, got RFE and and ny petitioner has submitted all requested info to the USCIS,and they've acknowledged receipt of it. Today makes it 60 days since their acknowledgement. How much longer is it gonna take them to approve my case😭

Different strokes for different folks, some people got approved few weeks after responding to RFE while some takes months so be patient bro you will get your approval

VanMoyez:
After 1 year and 2 months, I am officially a 'Yankee doddle'.

I want to thank everyone that assisted me in my journey. Omo, America is indeed a land of opportunities if you are serious and dedicated. The sky is just the beginning. For those who are still in the process, keep faith and don't look at the time frame, your time will come.

For those who want to start the process, go for broke and do it! Nigeria is not a place to stay nor raise your kids, our leaders have given us the shortest end of the stick.

I'm out to celebrate 🎉 Enjoy!

Congrats man

Yummymodel1:
Pls I need help concerning k1visa process.
My fiancè got a message from NVC after he sent them an email concerning when we will get a welcome letter, firstly they sent him case number and invoice I.d and information of the date(27-feb) our case was sent to US Embassy Nigeria. He emailed them again for clarity and they said US Embassy Nigeria will send me an email. I have been waiting for 47days now.
Is it suppose to take this long to get the letter?

Sometimes it takes months to hear from the embassy, to save yourself sometime and start preparing for your interview, pay your visa fee and fill out your cgi and ds160. Join the line for interview date and even if you don’t receive email from the embassy go ahead and pick a date and call the embassy. Some folks got their email just 2 to 3 weeks before interview

nikkeypearl:



Thank you soo much. Your email is tundeajilo@yahoo.com right?

Yes

nikkeypearl:



My case shows ready, but my partner is insisting we wait for email from the embassy 🤦🏽‍♀️ I am saying we can go ahead with the visa fee and ds 160 form. Pls what do you guys think. Is it compulsory we wait for the email? Your response would be greatly appreciated 🙏

From experience if you wait to receive email you will delay yourself more. Go and pay your visa fee, submit your cgi, fill out your ds160 and join the queue for ppl waiting for dates. These are the same instructions you will receive from the email you wanna wait for and the more you wait the more you delay your chances of getting date as soon as possible. Some people receive the email just few days to the interview. Hit me up via my email I will share a date search WhatsApp group with you but if it doesn’t work you can always create a new one, do not give your sensitive information or money to anyone in the group.

Thanks for your response Sire! So sorry I missed up the question..the question I intended to ask was the validity of a police character certificate that was done January last year.thanks as you respond accordingly...

Police character has two years validity, last year January, no problem

johnwegs:
my bro the rejected the co sponsor my woman brought,she is just tired , I don’t know where to get this bro

Major reason for rejecting a co-sponsor is when they dnt meet up with the United States poverty guidelines. Just look for someone else that meets the required income. You need to encourage your woman not to be tired, immigration is not cheap

cheerios:
Quick question! Hello house, a friend did his NPC age attestation January last year, and will be having his K1 interview later this year..is the attestation still valid this year for the process or he needs to do a new one? How long does it last ?Thanks

As far as it is original and was done at the NPC it doesn’t expire, go ahead and use your attestation

stacyadams:



Please for F1 unmarried immigrants visa,can I also pay for the application fee in GTB bank.

YES

Akinz75:
Good day, guys. What advantages does my fiancée being in the military have when applying for a K-1 visa? We have been dating for 5 years, and we last saw each other 3 years ago before she traveled to the States.

Their petition gets processed a bit faster and better chances as well compare to regular ones. Before you apply make sure you see each other again within the last 2 years

johnwegs:
My ceac is still showing refused after I summitted the necessary document needed from me after the interview, I summitted last week

Yes it will show refused at first, your status will change from refused soon just keep checking

fashionicon:
Good day all, please need your advice. please my sisters husband to be is in the USA and filled k1 visa to bring her from Nigeria. They recently got the latter which is for k1 - ftp, she is about to fill the ds-160 form but doesn’t know how long it will take to get an interview appointment,
Please can anyone give an idea on the time frame also should she go and do the medical and police report (these things are going expiry with 3 months from what she’s told) we don’t want her to go do it and it expires before then. Please advise

How long it will take to get an interview depends on the workload on the embassy if things are moving fast at the embassy she can get interview within weeks after submitting her cgi but if things are moving slow she could get interview date in couple of months she just have to keep checking everyday and join the group of people waiting for dates to be rolled out.
Police report is valid for two years so Yes she should go get that out of the way but for the medicals she needs to wait after she get a date for interview she could go do her medicals 3 to 4 weeks to her interview. Medicals is 6 months that’s why people do it few weeks to the interview so that by the time you get your visa you will still have some months on it before it will become invalid.

Dear Nairalanders
My fiancé is 60 while I’m 30 years, And we planning to see soon in Rwanda
Please what are convincing photos I must take with him while Rwanda to apply for the K1 when he goes back to the state. Or probably what are the the things we must do to convince the NVC that we love each other. We have been in relationship for 4 years.

Make sure you take pictures together everywhere you visit in Rwanda, if he’s proposing to you which is good but not required make sure you take the pictures, keep all the receipts of everything you guys purchase together, if you’re giving him a gift keep your receipts and picture of the gift, if he’s meeting your people or friends make sure you guys take pictures together there are no much things you can do at this stage than proving to uscis that you both met in person. And the required primary means are pictures, flight tickets and so on. You will deal with uscis first before nvc, plan another trip before embassy stage. I wish you the best in your journey

nikkeypearl:


Okay. Thanks alot for your response, i feel so relieved. And yes, our case number start with LGS.

I’m wondering what case number are you waiting for again to track the progression of your case. The case number that start with LGS is what you needed that means your case is either intransit or ready for interview. Go track it on ceac @ https://ceac.state.gov

nikkeypearl:


Not yet. We’ve been waiting for email from nvc for go ahead. Honestly im confused. How do we track to know if case is in transit or ready?

Attached file is the only response we’ve been getting from nvc after inquiry

The email you will receive from nvc will have your invoice number that you will use to track your case at the embassy stage.

IkwerreBabe:


I'm confused. Are you the beneficiary or the petitioner? Why does your wife need a cosponsor?

Because she did not meet the US poverty guidelines and to ensure the beneficiary do not become a public charge on entering the United States.

nikkeypearl:
Hello,
@InvestorTeeMan
Pls does it take this long for NVC to send out welcome packet. Case was approved on Feb.7th, we also have the case number. After inquiring, we were told we would be notified when our petition has been assigned to US embassy. Its been over a month, does it usually take this long or is there any other thing we should do?
I’ll appreciate your response 🙏 and anyone who is in similar situation.

Unfortunately there’s nothing you can do at this point than to just wait for the nvc to send your case to the embassy. And yes we have seen cases that takes 3 months or more before sending to the embassy. If you check your NOA2 you will see that your approval is valid for 4 months so before the four months interval your case needs to get to the embassy and you need to secure an interview date. If the interview date falls after the 4 month validity you don’t have to worry as long as you secure a date before your approval expires.
The reason why nvc has not forwarded your case to the embassy is because the embassy has not requested for it because of the backlog they’re dealing with but they will request for it as soon as possible just start putting things together for your interview, medicals and police report. If I may ask, what case number do you have ? Did it start from LGS ?

johnwegs:
bro sorry for disturbing where do I summit the documents do I need to go back to the embassy?

Check the 221g you will find information about where and how you should submit

johnwegs:
was issued a 221g sorry was refused ,the said in the paper I should get a co sponsor details,

Ok you’re good, just get a co-sponsor that meets the requirements. For few ones have seen it takes from few weeks to a couple of months to get their case approved if other issues does not arise

johnwegs:
Abeg my case was denied after today’s interview the consulate said I need a co sponsor after summit ting my co sponsors details, how long do I have to wait again

Your case was denied or you were told to just get a co-sponsor and your case will be reopened ?
Were you issued 221G and what does it say.

Cinacci124:


No. I'm asking about duration it takes for K1 Visa because my fiancee and I filed in February last year but we haven't heard anything from them and this is the 13th month of our waiting.

Some people got their approval in 15 months or after, even before. If your case is being processed in California service center you’re still within the proposed USCIS normal processing time of 14 to 15 months. If at 15 months you still don’t hear anything then you can submit out of processing time inquiry, call them or chat with an agent via Emma to ask what’s going on with your case. Request to speak to a level 3 or 4 officer coz those level one guys that always run to answer calls don’t even know anything at times.

Cinacci124:


Yes I saw it, and I sent you another one with the question I wanted you to help me with. Thank you for your response in advance.

Are you the one asking about medicals ?

Cinacci124:


please I sent you a mail a long time ago

I did replied you

IkwerreBabe:
