Thank you.
Waited 15months for a USCIS reply myself, currently waiting on NVC to give me the instructions to file for DS-160, I really hope it doesn't take 7 months since the USCIS approval notice is only valid for 4 months ^^'

Should be tougher penalties for frauds and scammers instead of punishing legit relationships with these ridiculous wait times!!!

Hi, Thank you for very informative video.
I have applied for k1 i-129f for my fiancee who lives in India.
i-129f got approved in Sept 2023. The CIAC web sight is showing case status as READY.
Since then we have not received any email or letter from NVC or from US Embassy. Can you please guide what are the next steps? Will I or my fiancee be getting one more letter? That letter will come from NVC or from US Embassy? When to file for DS-160? We have not yet filed for DS-160 because the NVC email says - U.S. Embassy or Consulate will contact your fiancé (e)/spouse when they are ready to process his or her petition.

NVC - Email received -
The National Visa Center (NVC) received your fiancé (e)’s/spouse’s approved I-129F petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). NVC will now forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Mumbai (Bombay), India. Please note that the transfer process can take several weeks. The U.S. Embassy or Consulate will contact your fiancé (e)/spouse when they are ready to process his or her petition.
