Hi, me too!!! Let’s keep each other posted!!! Good Luck 🍀!!!!

NVC says up to three weeks assuming none of your documents are rejected. For me it took them 8 days the first time. They rejected 3 documents with an unclear explanation. Took 12 days for them to review the second time and they rejected two documents with NO explanation given. After 80 attempts of trying to get them on the phone, finally after being on hold for 1 hour someone answered and she couldn’t initially figure out why they were rejected. Took her 5 minutes. Imagine if the NVC’s own employees can’t understand the notifications and instructions how do they expect the public. Just resubmitted today. 

 

Anyway lessons learned:

 

1. Make sure all documents are the right side up (mine was vertical but should have been oriented horizontally).

2. Double check when submitting police reports if your country requires fingerprints to be included. 

3. For taxes ONLY submit the 1040 in the Tax section. Any other documents related to your return (i.e., form 8886, tax worksheets, W2, etc) submit separately in the other documents section. 

 

4. Absolutely call the NVC IMMEDIATELY if any document is rejected no matter what the explanation says on CEAC. Tell them a document was rejected and you want them to tell you why. (Because the notification on CEAC is extremely unclear or non existent.)

 

Save yourself the trouble of multiple rejections and weeks of endless delays. 

 

Lastly, all Americans on this forum need to write your Congress and Senate person and tell them the Dept of State NVC processes and operations need to be investigated by the IG. This is our tax dollars at work...I mean NOT at work. Wasted and misused.

Submitting docs are not the issue whether its correct or getting RFE or what not.. yours after submitting within 3days got reviewed was the luckiest thing happened!

received our case number on Friday, however not able to log in. keeps throwing an error: The selected Case Number and Invoice Identification Number combination you entered does not match our records. Please try again or contact the National Visa Center for further assistance. .. so frustrating

Can I know your NVC received date. They had received mine around the 15th of February, still no case number.

Seems like how NVC generates invoice dates  is both chronological and random.   I'm not sure if they process batches from different USCIS centers or as a whole.  My receipt date was the same as yours.  Got my case # Monday from last week.

Wow. So frustrating honestly. I actually emailed them on the 25/3 still no response from them. I'll give them a call tomorrow.

Thanks for replying 😊

Have you been able to log on smoothly?

NVC doesn't notify when they receive the case. Only when they issue the case number and invoice ID. You only know the case was received when you call and ask.
