It's never been 60 business days. They NVC operators and emails were alternating between telling people 30 business days or 60 calendar days. However, recently, they are processing a little faster than 60 calendar days.

The ds-261 "choice of agent" took about 30 days. But the ds-260 IV is online so who knows how long they take to review. Now as far as the 60 days, this pertains to any and all docs that you submit to NVC. They are still holding to the 60 day wait. Some people are getting through in 30-45 days and what determines this again who knows why the discrepancies. I know my AOS has been in since 23rd of Sept. My IV since the 23rd of Oct. I called yesterday and the rep told me that nothing has been reviewed yet. One rep said my packets were not flagged to be review together, and the other rep said they will be reviewed by the last received date of 27th of Oct. Go figure! Hope that helps...

The warmth of true friendship and the love that binds the hearts of husband and wife are a foretaste of heaven. God has ordained that there should be perfect love and perfect harmony between those who enter into the marriage relation. Let bride and bridegroom in the presence of the heavenly universe pledge themselves to love one another as God has ordained they should. {LYL}
