yes potomac . does that mean that my case will just go as fast as it did in the USCIS stage ?

Well from here you go to the NVC stage and I hear that's about a 3-4 month process. Im still at the USCIS stage so I'm not entirely sure what happens next. NVC, then interview, then approval. Not sure how long that will take. Congrats tho I believe USCIS is the longest stage

congrats. once your case is received by the NVC you will have to wait 6-8 weeks  to get your case number, sometimes it can be less then that.

 

Other people  waiting for case number and some have started the process at the NVC. click on the above to join that group.

 

Wish you good luck.

The NVC stage depends a lot on what you do at that stage

paying the 2 fees and filing out the DS 260 (him) and you doing the I 864 and scanning the supporting documents thru CEAC 

 

he will need 2 criminal reports (can email or scan them to you) 

these are: obtain a Fiche Anthropometrique and a Casier Judiciaire from the Central Police station at their place of residence. he will need to have these translated into English by a certified translator .  NVC will want to see both arabic and enlgish documents

 

you will need the IRS tax transcripts (walk into any office with photo ID and SS card) and get them free

 

don't scan any of the supporting documents until you have them all and write the NVC case number (will start with CSB2019xxxxxxx) on the upper right hand corner along with both names and both DOB's on each and every page

 

He will take the original criminal reports plus his medical exam papers to the interview

BTW he will have to wait for notice to do the exam from NVC as he has to have a paper to schedule the appointment and the medical exam determines the visa expiration

Congratulations! BTW, on this thread it says that your service center is Texas, so you may want to correct that. Salaam
