Hi:

 

My documents arrived on 5/30/17.  I am hoping to soon have a Scan Date. I will call this week to see where my 2 cases stand. (fingers crossed)

Welcome to this journey!

Well I called NVC and I was told by an Agent that they received my documents on 06/01/17.  Not 100% sure is that would be my scan date but I was told that I should start counting from that date. The bad news is that they told me it could take up to 11 weeks. I am praying that it is much faster.

yes, that is your scan date. Hopefully it takes less. Mine took 8 weeks but received a checklist.

Hello,

 

We have just paid the NVC fees, and will be mailing our package tomorrow! How exciting. I have only one concern:

On the official website, it says "do not pay fees before they are requested as this can slow down the processing of your case."

You can only select "pay this fee" once it is requested, right? Now I am worried that we have paid early because we didn't get an IV Fee Bill in the email yet. But why would it allow us to pay early anyway?

Is this cause for concern?

Thanks, and we look forward to interacting with you all.

I think you should be OK if it gave you access to pay.

I just checked the status of my case. Please see the screen shot. It changed from Action required: Submit requested documents to at NVC.  I called yesterday to find out if they received my birth certificate. The representative said they haven't. So I do not have a new scan date as of yet for the checklist.

Yeah, your screen shot is normal.. This happened in other cases who have a checklist. The status eventually does change to "at NVC".. Maybe your AOS info disappeared too?

Yeah, so for you to find out if you have a CC.. You'll have to call in.. My suggestion is to call in 1 month, ask for a supervisor to call you back and see what happens.. Maybe they'll be able to process it for you... hope so at least.. Really crazy system they have there.. I don't get why they don't have a few people just processing checklists... instead of making wait another 11 weeks.. just not right..

OMG I thought the same thing!!!

[lamafiosa69 46]

It crazy that they say you have to wait up to 11 weeks. When I did a consultation with an attorney they told be that by end or July or August everything would be complete by how fast they were moving at that time. If I wait 11 weeks that would put me even further down the road. I was hoping my stepson would be here before school starts which is on August 21st. I'm going to call them and see what could be done. Its not fair to him at all. It will already be hard for him moving and learning a new language. Imagine starting school in the middle of a school year....not good at all.
