That depends on how fast NVC receives your case, assigns a number, invoices your bills and how fast you send in the packages. It's currently taking 4 weeks to get a case number.

I just had a feeling something was going to happen today.. and it wasn't going to be good. My Uncle in California passed away this afternoon.

With all this immigration mess taking so long, we really can't afford to buy me a round trip, last minute ticket to Vacaville. Plus I leave next Wed. for Winnipeg.. :( The big crapper is today was my Aunt and Uncle's wedding anniversary. *sigh*

give it about 3 weeks from the 27th. Then start yer phone call barrage.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Great! I will get the list ready soon :)

How about having my wife sign DS-230 but not to put date on it? I will fill out the date myself before I mail it to NVC? :)

I will ask her to send IV documents to me via express mail which usually takes about 5 days. So actually I can wait to have her send me all documents until I get NOA2. But I just want to have myself learn all things and be prepared for the next step rather than waiting till the day when NOA2 is issued to us :)

I strongly suggest you wait. The PCC has a duration on it, and it may be another 4 months from today , even 6 months from today, till she has the appointment at the IV Unit. By then, the PCC would have expired.

So, what's the timetick for you? Have her send all of her civil documents AFTER you have the casefile # from NVC AND the AOS fee bill invoice in yer email inbox.

Good Luck !

Saylin,

I called Nvc today and Moli told me that my case was completed on APRIl 18.I said no it was completed on APRIL 10!.She explained to me if you emailed your checklist multiple time,your case re-opens each time they read the next email.If you want to change the CC date,simply forward your April 10th email to NVcElectronic and tell them to change it.(i actually send multiple PCC Checklist email to NVC,i guess 7 time Coz i was mad)

So i email them about it.Let's see if they can correct it.

Still nothing heard from Montreal about expedite request.

That's really nasty, and it pushed you back a week. grrrr.

I'm guessing there is a MASSIVE back log at the NVC right now...

How long was it taking before, from case rec'd to case closed?

I honestly thought I might be back with my Husband by August. Now, I'm not so sure :crying:

No guessing needed, the proof is in these threads. It's currently taking 4+ weeks to get a case number assigned from NOA2. Once you have a case number, as long as the rest is smooth, you can be out of NVC in under a month. I suggest you look at my spreadsheet (linked in the first post and in my signature) to see other people's dates and how long it's been taking to get through NVC.

Sorry for you loss Sheesh :((F)

I sent out my IV package and NVC will get it Thursday. I am hoping they will not take too much time to get back to me or close my case hopefully, since I am traveling to be with my hubby for a month and won't be able to do quick RFE if any is requested. With all the backlog I am hoping it won't take weeks to review our package :unsure:

I am hoping they will not take too much time to get back to me or close my case hopefully, since I am traveling to be with my hubby for a month and won't be able to do quick RFE if any is requested. With all the backlog I am hoping it won't take weeks to review our package :unsure:

The backlog is only in certain parts of the NVC. They're still just taking a few days to review packages! You might have a CC by this Friday ;)
