Its crazy, its sick and it doesnt make any sense at all. Do NVC also take 30 business days to answer their calls?. I sent in my ds261 since May 31st, 2014. its was scanned on the 3rd of June 2014. I am still waiting to get my iv bill. got a checklist for not submitting page 9 of 9 i-864 form, sent it already. but does that mean i wont get my iv bill invoice till the AOS checklist is reviewed?. Please help. Is anyone experiencing or has ever experienced this?, what did you do about it?.

Many NVC reps have said the crash hasn't affected their system, only the system the consulates use to print the actual visas after the interview.

The reason everything is taking a long time is because they are getting more and more backlogged each day thanks to USCIS.

For me it's been 38 business days since the DS-261 and we've heard zilch regarding our AOS package.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

Many people reported activity on their cases this week, which to me proves that NVC is not affected by the crashed system. Ketsuban is right, it's the backlog, not the computer crash, that is causing everything to come to a screeching halt.

The IV bill and your AOS checklist have nothing to do with one another. You will get your IV bill before your checklist is reviewed (hopefully...)
