NVC - April 2017 Scan Dates - Method 4: Mail processing

[CDJames 33]

Just got of the phone with NVC rep said as soon as they're finish reviewing my case they'll notify us! She didn't want to tell me if it's in review department 🙄

 

Should I take it that my case is under review?  

 

Scan date: April 19

Hi,  looking at the spreadsheet, CC's from your country received them in 63-67 days. So try calling again at day 63. You're almost there, you're at day 61. For now, check your status online daily..

Hi @JBMG,

 

So your scan date is the day before mine.  Have you called to see if anything is happening with your packet?  This week is 8 weeks and I'm trying to decide if I want to call and see if anything is happening or not.  

 

Thanks.

 

Hi @krysten.danis,

 

No, I haven't called.. I probably won't call before 9 weeks.. I will start checking my online status daily at 8 weeks though.. 

 

I don't advise calling before 9 weeks.. Since the average CC happens around 9 weeks. I see the last case for Bogota was reviewed on day 67.. You're at day 54.. So personally I'd wait at least until week 9 (day 63) before calling..  I've discovered that you can get a better idea of processing times by looking at others from your country.. But you only have one to compare to and they received a checklist for wrong birth certificate.. Have you confirmed that you have the right version?

 

Meanwhile, you can check your country's portal here. Maybe you can find others who have recently received a CC..

My scan date is April 27th but have not herd anything from nvc. Thursday marks 8 weeks. Should I call them to check

@gili

 

I don't advise calling before 9 weeks.. Since the average CC happens around 9 weeks. Last case from Ghana had a CC on day 62.. So personally I'd wait at least until week 9 (day 63) before calling..  I've discovered that you can get a better idea of processing times by looking at others from your country.. 

 

At 8 weeks or even now, click on the following links to check your IR-1/CR-1 visa case status:

Check My Visa Application Status

DS-260, Online Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application

 

If it says "At NVC" and your AOS information is missing.. Then you most likely have a completed case (CC)... Please call the NVC to confirm. 

 

See Example

 

If after 9 weeks, your status still reads "Action required: Submit requested documents", you can call the NVC to ask if your case is under review. 

 

Meanwhile, have you had a chance to look at our spreadsheet? Open to all NVC scan dates in 2017 (mail, email, CEAC upload)

Hi Guys!

 

I been following the forum for quite some time and posting for the first time...

 

My case was sent to review on 6/15/17.  On 6/19/2017 I called NVC and they informed that the packet is missing her original native language birth certificate and everything else is good to go. The only "problem" is, the municipality office issues birth certificates in English only.  So they put the entire case on hold for supervisor review.  I spoke with a supervisor this morning and she informed me that it will take up to 6 weeks for review.  They need to get physical documents I sent them in review department for further review.  It makes no sense at all.  I sent them a copy of the original bearing the official stamps.  All they have to do is pull up the scanned copy in their system and review it.  

 

To get things moving, I am going to meet a rep at my Senator's office.  Do you guys recommend I should file expedite request?  I am willing and am going to fight for it.  I don't want new scan date.
