Can anyone please elaborate " increase NVC processing time"

[Doctor P 2]

Hi

I got my approval from USCIS and got to know that NVC processing time has increased from 30 to 60 days

I am just wondering what does it actually mean?

Is it mean that total time till case is completed has increased but i will get all notices for documents at same expected time?

OR

it means that i should expect to get my case number or form DS-261 and fee notice after 60days?? and than 30 days more for whole process?

please help

feeling frustrated now :-(

queue size increase, so waiting time in queue increases also.

two main queues, I-864 + DS-260, then the final queue, plus movement inbetween the queues.

Sorry.

First off---- CONGRATULATIONS….on making it through USCIS . Enjoy…before you have to start of the queue in the NVC stage

Here are some suggestions

1) READ saylin's wiki page and memorize it from top to bottom. Do exactly the way she tells you on that page --- why? because you will not get a CHECKLIST (99%). This way all your documents will be ready and set to go when you come to each step. Trust me you don't unnecessarily want a checklist and shave off extra 60 days.

2) i don't know if you have a lawyer, though it doesn't matter much more--- once your AOS fees is paid you can send BOTH packets (AOS and IV) at the same time. Before you had to wait to get the clearance for the IV packet. it saves another 40 days.

3) they have increased from 30 business days (which means 45 days in total) to 60 calendar days. SO yes they have tagged 15 days extra…but if you are vigilant, read saylin's wikipage on how to send everything and are on your toes and understand what you need to do, the probability of making it through NVC becomes 100 fold better.

Best of luck and CONGRATULATIONS…. … things are looking up for you --- ONE DOWN --- two more to go )NVC and interview..
