Im happy for all of u guys who got already IL.. U are all very lucky. I feel like im left behind. I cant put a smile in my face. Im not CC yet because of checklist that im not supposed to response coz i dont receive formal checklist. I should have made good and wise decision before. May i ask how many days u got ur cc after responding to checklist based from ur own experience? Ur reply is much appreciated

In our case i received checklist ( Police Certificate) on 18 Aug and able to dispatch the same day to NVC..,,it took us less than a month approx 22 days from scan date...give a try on Monday...hopefully u will hear some good news and best of luck!!

I never trusted mygcvisa.com. The predictions are always just predictions. They usually assume a 4 week average movement. At the very least 4 weeks would be nice every month. It's better than most oth

Overall its showing a good trend.

ok so i called nvc. The agent said my case is not complete. she acknowledged that its been too long since i submitted ds260 and typically case is complete in a month. And she added that their hands are tied, they cant do anything..infact the supervisor cant do anything either :/
So i was like??? what am I suppose to do then if no one cant do anything! I am just frustrated because there is no reason for this delay. website is working fine, i have paid all fees, i hav all my docs and forms submitted correctly, my pd is current! I have waited 2 months even then i dont get to hav my case completed. Why the heck does nvc want to keep my file with them..when they could just simply send it over to my embassy and get over with ONE case out of the pool of gazillion cases. I fail to understand NVC's logic :/

I am really sorry for you as I know how much it hurts because I am going through the same situation even though my priority date is coming pretty close and this whole NVC process is very confusing, what I noticed in this whole process is one small mistake makes your case go into the dark L this morning I called the NVC and luckily the CR is very good person and directed me to the supervisor and the supervisor said that she is going to send an email to the document review team to look into my case but I am still feeling so nervous.

I feel that the only option is to be very calm & quiet and pray to the God. Time is not in favor of us so be gentle to CR and literally beg the Supervisor to look into the case that’s all we can do my friend.

Hi, yes you are right that a small mistake can delay things..but in my case.. theres nothing that would cause a delay. I ask everytime if something is wrong with my docs or have i missed on something (which i know i did not) and the nvc agent says that everything is looking fine, just your ds260 form needs to be reviewed. So, from my end everything is clear. The mess is happening from their end and all they can say is tht they cant do anything! Even though it frustrates me, i never lose my cool because I just cant spoil it any further. Even i got a very nice CR last night, she tried to connect me to a supervisor but no one was available to talk at the moment. I used to call once a week but now i will be callin twice or thrice. This isnt fair :'(

And dont worry, your case will be complete before ur PD becomes current! Just keep calling them, and whtever was missing in ur file, just send it asap and then call nvc to confirm once they receive it. All the very best!

I'm still waiting for a CC too and my DS-260 is the only thing that needs to be reviewed. I talked to a supervisor on September 2 and she told me that the department that reviews it is currently working on April/May/June ones because of the backlog but I know that's not true because people that submitted in August already have a CC. I called again yesterday and the rep confirmed that it had been sent to the document review department by the supervisor and that it was in line to be reviewed. I'd suggest talking to a supervisor to see if you can get the case to move forward.
