Hello everyone. I've added a new question.. "What day did you receive your interview confirmation?" And a notes area to share anything you like.. For example. "Just called the NVC, still not in review" etc.. 

 

Thank you for your continued contribution. Happy to see we're still at 9 weeks processing.

Hello, congrats, it's been 9 weeks from your scan date, can you please check your visa status (see yellow tab on spreadsheet below for instructions), if not yet a CC, call NVC, ask if your case has it made it to the review department?

Thank you and good luck!!

I just called NVC and asked if my file was sent to review department. The representative said "it's not reviewed yet but it's in the line to be reviewed. I saw we receive your supporting documents on March 20. Give us some time." Is my file on review department? What is she referring to when she said "in line?" Does that mean my file is just relaxing and maybe watching horror movie in mail room haha?

It is her way of saying it is still sitting in the mail room.   We have not seen any people with scans in the March 20 range in the review department yet.

Hahaha,  I had never thought of that,  possibly it is watching foreign language films.  I will say keep at it, because we had a scan date of Nov 18 and after 2 months I called,  they said it is still being reviewed,  then called in Feb and was told it was under supervisory review,  as of Jan 31, that it should be completed by March 14th. I gave a few more calls the week before, until some nice man said, I don't understand why it is taking so long, let me email my  supervisor, 3 days later it was complete. Sometimes it just gets stuck on a desk.....:(

I received my case number and invoice number today. When I tried to log in to select agent and pay fee, it says number doesn't match what's on file. Is this normal? Is there a grace period before you can log on? Representative told me we were assigned numbers today

I would suggest call again tomorrow and re-confirm the numbers.  They may have given you the wrong case number (which happened several times in the past few months).

if they confirm the numbers, it could be that they are still uploading your case files into their system and it hasn't fully updated.

 

Call first, reconfirm, try again.  You should be able to get in within a day or two.

Hello, congrats, it's been 9 weeks from your scan date, can you please check your visa status (see yellow tab on spreadsheet below for instructions), if not yet a CC, call NVC, ask if your case has it made it to the review department?

Need help editing your questionnaire, here are instructions on how to edit/save your questionnaire

 

Thank you and good luck!!

I called them but same reply-- Allow up to 11 weeks... I asked if review has started. He said No. So when does it start? He said It's highly possible that everything's done before May 30th. If you don't hear from us by the 30th, call us again. :-/

I noticed that you said to check status if it not a CC to call nvc, where do i check status?  Because i have seen the same thing since my first scan , it never changed evem though nvc told me that my case was under administrative review , that case status still say the same thing.

Hmm, wondering if they're being advised to not tell us. Seems strange how some go to review department, stay for weeks while others arrive in the review department and get processed in 2 days. Thank you for the update. Hang in there. Someone just updated the spreadsheet with their cc,  took 10 weeks. Let's hope you get your cc by end of the week.

My case has been sitting there, like you said , if you look at  the spreadsheet you will see that my scan date was way before certain people who already have interview date. I don't even have my cc yet. So frustrating
