I sent my I-864 to the NVC about a month ago and a couple of weeks ago I received a letter from the NVC saying they were missing the DS-230. My husband sent the DS-230 and they received it on yesterday. I checked the voice recording today and it says they have received the missing information and expect 6-8 weeks for the processing to be complete. Does anyone know if in fact it takes 6-8 weeks for them to review the DS-230 and send the information to the consulate? Does anyone also know how long it takes to get an interview? The thought of having to wait another 2 months is quite depressing, we have already been apart for 8 months. If anyone knows anything pleeeeeeeeeeeeease let me know :crying:

Pam,

It will take approx 4 weeks for the DS230 to be reviewd and approved. My DS230 was received by NVC on Jan 22 and it was approved on Feb 20th. The answer of 6-8 weeks is a standard reply by NVC.. don't read to much into it.

Good luck!

I agree, about 4 weeks is average. Then the wait for an interview really depends on the consulate, Montreal has been averaging 2-4 months.

I don't mean to get your hopes up but I sent in my DS-230 on Jan 31 and my case was completed on Feb 13.... 2 WEEKS! I think the key is whenever you send ANYTHING to ANYONE, make sure the package is neat and in good order... Having a cover letter and arranging the items in the order of your letter will help ANYONE out. Everyone likes to work on a neat file.... no one wants to work on a messy/sloppily put together files. (I'm talking about my own experience when I'm at work. I work on the neat ones first and let the messy ones sit there! HEHEHE) If people make the effort to do a good job when submitting docs, it'll make whoever is handling the case much happy and probably process it faster! Saves them the time to figure out what is what?!! Anyhow, that's just my opinion hehehe
