Hello peers ~ My I-130 was approved on April 19, 2017 and I am joining this group now :)

 

I have a questions -  in appropriately how many days after the case approval will we receive notice from NVC. from reading a lot of posting here in this group, it looks like there are some delays as well. :/

 

Still keeping an optimistic attitude since the NVC page gives a more specific time frame.

It takes approximately a week, maybe a little longer for the NVC to receive your case. I don't think they send them every day. I would recommend calling after a week. Once they receive it, it may take a few days for a case number and invoice number to be assigned. Keep calling until they give you them over the phone. If you wait until they notify you, you'll be waiting much longer.

For those of you who called to get their DS261 reviewed over the phone, what exactly does that mean? We just called a couple of hours ago even though we havent received the welcome letter yet, so the lady on the phone said something about us "getting ahead" or something (doing things before we are instructed to by the nvc) but it sounded like she said she would review it for us. After that my husband asked another question to which she answered to and then mentioned something about us having to wait for the e-mail, so now I am not sure if she reviewed it or not 🙄... still shows on CEAC that review is in process just like before we called. Should we call again or just wait it out....

Call again until you get someone nice To review it. The review of your ds 261 starts the IV fee unlock which will occur one week later. Otherwise your file can sit on someone's desk until they feel like they have time to review it.
