Hi guys

a question. I have submitted my DS260 3 months ago. now I accidentally clicked on the IV application and it opened the DS260 for me agian I wonder is it same as choice of agent form in which if you click the timer will reset and it goes on the review queue agian? (( I am so worried!... I opened and closed only. what should I do?

My case seems to be cursed at NVC.

I suggest that you call the NVC to inquire. Nothing to be worried about; it won't set back the clock for you. But I would call if for no other reason than to allay your anxiety.

I would not wait. 3 months you say..... I recommend that you call and ask nicely to be connected to a supervisor (preferably Sylvia) due to the reason that this is taking too long. Explain this to the supervisor and he/she will most likely do the review right there on the spot. That is what I did. and just to give you an example they said my wife passport was missing and I asked the Supervisor to email it to her directly while we were on the the phone and she checked the email and went ahead and did the review. So in my opinion unless you get a CC with a couple of weeks, just go ahead and try for a Supervisor.

Hi everyone, just wanted to update you on my case. So I submitted the DS-260 on July 8 and it still hasn't been reviewed yet. On Sept 2, I spoke to a supervisor, Nadi, who told me that due to the backlog they're still reviewing April/May/June cases and forwarded my case to a supervisor in the DS-260 department and requested my supporting documents to be sent there so they may review it. Later when I called an NVC rep said because it was requested by a supervisor, it would take 2 weeks to be received otherwise it was 30 days.

pagos76, Sylvia probably works in the DS-260 review department which is why she was able to do it on the spot. Nadi said she's not qualified to review the DS-260 over the phone with me.

Today I called and was able to speak to Nadi again (she remembered me! lol). She started off telling me about the backlog again when I inquired about my case and told me that she sent her request on Sept 2 but there haven't been any updates. Until, I told her about my other case which is also F4 and the DS260 was submitted Aug 26 and CC was on 9/18. Thats when she decided to dig further and even looked into seeing if a visa number was available and saw that our PD was much earlier then what was currently on the VB. She asked if I submitted the DS-260s for the family members on the same day and I told her yes, I did. Nadi also told me that if there are divorce, adoption, court or military documents then it will take longer to review but, I told her that this case had none of those and it was only the police certificates. I think this is when she realized that the backlog excuse was just that, an excuse.

She drafted a message requesting an update saying that the other case was already CC'ed even though it was submitted almost 2 months later and sent the message out to all the supervisors in the DS-260 department so they will all be able to look into it. She said the last time I spoke to her on Sept 2 she sent the message to only one supervisor and that she may have been on vacation which is why it's been almost a month with no updates [she said she herself would receive the updates and she hadn't]. After she sent the message she said she should receive an update soon but doesn't know when. All in all, she was super nice and helpful and looked into all aspects as to why it was taking so long. Although, I wish I would've been able to speak to a DS-260 department supervisor so they'd be able to review it on the spot. I wonder how you get connected to one or if you can even request it.

Hopefully, we'll get the CC soon now that all the supervisors have been requested to look into my case. I'll update everyone with what happens and maybe it'll help someone else out too. (Sorry if this post is too long, just wanted to be detailed)

The NVC is backlogged. Have patience. You can attempt to speak with a supervisor, but usually you will be told to wait for the thirty day period. If you have made no mistakes and were careful in submitting your documents, then all should be fine. I know it's hard to wait, but patience is important. Call to check on the status a couple of times a week or every week, but in due time you will receive the good news.

Yes, atorres. The NVC needs all supporting documents in order to make their decision. My wife and I recently had our CC, but not before I had to correct two mistakes that I made: I failed to get the Extensa (long) form of my wife's birth certificate and to have the birth and marriage certificates legalized at the Central Registry Office in Santo Domingo. I did this in August, mailed the new documents with translations (which I had previously) on August 30 and we received our CC on September 22. You can call to check your on your case status, but you will usually be told to wait for the thirty-day review period. Stay on top of your case, communicate with the NVC, and you will be fine. If you sent all the documents as required, you should have no problems and your case should move along quickly. Let me know if you have questions.

Thanks PAgos76 for nice advice. i try to get hold of Sylvia then. let see if i am successful. I hope I can find her and ask her kindly to help us.

youa re lucky she did it for u on the phone.

I would not wait. 3 months you say..... I recommend that you call and ask nicely to be connected to a supervisor (preferably Sylvia) due to the reason that this is taking too long. Explain this to the supervisor and he/she will most likely do the review right there on the spot. That is what I did. and just to give you an example they said my wife passport was missing and I asked the Supervisor to email it to her directly while we were on the the phone and she checked the email and went ahead and did the review. So in my opinion unless you get a CC with a couple of weeks, just go ahead and try for a Supervisor.

Hi Again Pagos76

I called and talked with a nice guy and he said since more than 42 is passed from supervisor review he will send an email to the dept and ask them to have the mail back . and he said he will talk with the supervisor in his break time to specify i have been waited for a long time and talk about my case.

I said can I talk with the supervisor so she can review the form for me on the phone. he said we do not have the mail here so we cannot review it on the phone for you yet. you need to wait until we have the mail from that dept. then the supervisor will review it in 1 day and so i could not talk with a supervisor.

does it sound logical for you? what would u do if you were in my shoe ?

Not sure what advice to give to you at this point.... So I will tell what I did. I called everyday and directly asked for a supervisor saying that this has gone on for too long. Then when a supervisor was not availabke I asked to be put back into the waiting line. Then again till I got through ( usually bybthe second time I did). Then I told the supervisor the very same thing. If I still got the answer you got I asked them tovat least look at the rest of the case ( documents etc) to make sure that everything was going well. Then I gave them the rest of the day off and called again next day. It took me 3 days to get to Sylvia

. Maybe it was luck or just my time..... Sorry I cannot help more and please know that I understand your pains. Good luck
