Is there data collected about wait times for NVC checklist people

Is there data collected about wait times for NVC checklist people? 

I ask because after 9 weeks waiting, we received a checklist from the NVC for a court document (Morocco apparently requires it for everyone) and 2016 tax return. We want to know about how long it might be since we don't want my husband having to leave our vacation this summer to travel back to Madrid for his interview.

Are we really at the end of the line again? Will it really be 11 weeks?

In January, we received a checklist from NVC for my wife's birth certificate and divorce decree(even though our attorney supposedly had already sent it with everything else). The attorney immediately called NVC and "successfully" challenged the checklist, but we didn't get an official "you are in the queue for an interview" letter until 11 weeks later.

 

I hope you have a better experience.

HI Sabrina, I'm trying to gather this info for you. It looks like it will take another 9-11 weeks..  As you can see here, a couple of people have had a checklist and a 2nd scan date.. 

 

NVC Case Status Spread Sheet - February, March, April 2017

 

Have you contacted your embassy in Morocco? Maybe they will allow you to get your case transferred to them to avoid resubmitting to the NVC?

Aw, thank you  that's sweet of you.

Well, I am trying to see this another way, which is, that he was probably going to have to go back (after getting his green card, I know, be careful) to take care of some things (he lives in Spain, not Morocco, born in Morocco) in September anyway, so we're hoping he won't have any problem coming in on his tourist visa for the summer. He's gone back and forth several times since 2013 when he got the 10 year tourist visa.

That's really why I want to know how long before we get an interview, as I don't want it before September.

Ohhhhhh. Ughhh. I'm so sorry. I'm glad it's over for you guys. 

Thanks for the info. I'm starting to think that maybe I don't have to worry about it being processed too quickly!!

Oh ok.. well yeah, you could have 9-11 weeks, plus possibly 6 weeks before the interview.. 

 

Here is a date calculator..  15 weeks from today would be August 24th. 17 weeks would be Sept 7..

Thought I would update you guys - 

We waited until September to resubmit, (second) Scan Date of Sept 15.

NVC agent told me after I insisted on getting SOME information, that case was sent to document review October 20th.

We just got (Nov 10th, 2:30am) an email notification/letter saying that NVC is going to schedule the interview. 

 

We're relieved, and now we are in the same predicament of guessing on timing, this time for the interview in Madrid. We would like to be together for Christmas but maybe his interview will be during that time...

Anyway, the wait after the second Scan Date was about 8 weeks. Much better!
