How long after sending your documents in did they scan them?  I am not able to sign into the ceac site because they say I need to send my documents.  The NVC received our documents on April 25. 

Mine took 2 days. You should call them once you know they have your documents and the date they confirm would be your scan date.

Hello everybody! Wishing everybody gets good news after this ceac update.

 

My scan date is march 22nd and I'm still waiting for the 11 weeks period for the review, although I've been calling at least once a week to see if I get lucky and can get a case complete in less of the average. 

 

I want to ask for your advice, my husband got involved in an accident last week and he's at the hospital recovering from a surgery due to some fractures, he is in company of his dad and some other relatives right now, his recovery will take some time and I would really like to be helping him get through this, my question is, what do you think if I should make a request for expedite at this time of the process or it won't make any difference since we are at the last stage, thank you everybody!

You can request for an expedite - considering your husband's situation!! You would need to provide all the medical reports of your husband. They would grant your expedite based on your proofs.

The thread is for individuals whose cases are now with the national visa center so that we can share information, questions and timeline updates.

 

Oftentimes, you will encounter others with similar scan dates. When their cases get completed, you can get a good feel for when yours may complete. Sharing your timeline updates and updating you VJ to line will also help others in the same manner.

hello, i'm sorry about your husband's accident. It's already so difficult to go through the long distance :( from what i read, there are two kinds of expedite. 1. they skip nvc review step and directly let the embassy review your documents instead. 2. they still review docs at the nvc, but once you get your cc, they send it to the embassy and schedule interview right away. so the wait from cc to interview wouldnt take 1-2 months. so i guess you can still request for expedite. good luck and i wish a speedy recovery for your husband.

Thank you very much! I will do it ASAP I have nothing to lose and it totally worths the effort, I was in doubt because maybe it would delay my case if they received the request at This time but now that you tell me they can expedite a CC I'm totally going for it. Do you by any chance have an idea of how long do they take to approve the expedite?

Welcome to another monthly thread for those going through NVC

 

Please read everything below and refer to it throughout your NVC journey, whether this is your first month at NVC or your third. :bonk:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before posting questions, please read the wiki Saylin wrote on the NVC process here. Once you're done, read it one or two more times to really understand it ;)Don't forget to also read the official form instructions as well as USCIS and NVC's websites!

If you want to see a visual of the NVC process, please view Saylin's flowchart here.

Yes this thread was created by our great Queen Saylin and the knowledge is still going forward. This thread I pray stays alive and well as many who have gone through the process or still going can chime in and help and assist.

If you're wondering about time frames, look at the fellow members right here in this thread! Study their signatures/timelines and make notes. VJ also has this awesome page. Use it! I sure did during my process smile.png That means if you are on this thread WE expect you to have an up to date timeline.

 

And once you've got a case complete, please join the case complete/interview thread started by me, Dwheels76 on (currently May 2017 thread),

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/633307-case-complete-to-interview-june-2017/

 

Hi, hope it's ok. I created a new thread just for EP Filers.
