NVC Filers - July 2019

[dwheels76 5,459]

Welcome to another monthly thread for those going through NVC

 

Please read everything below and refer to it throughout your NVC journey, whether this is your first month at NVC or your third. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before posting questions, please read the wiki Saylin wrote on the NVC process here. Once you're done, read it one or two more times to really understand it ;)Don't forget to also read the official form instructions as well as USCIS and NVC's websites!

If you want to see a visual of the NVC process, please view Saylin's flowchart here.

Yes this thread was created by our great Queen Saylin and the knowledge is still going forward. This thread I pray stays alive and well as many who have gone through the process or still going can chime in and help and assist.

If you're wondering about time frames, look at the fellow members right here in this thread! Study their signatures/timelines and make notes. VJ also has this awesome page. Use it! I sure did during my process  That means if you are on this thread WE expect you to have an up to date timeline.

 

Current case file creation time:

This is the link to go to see what date they are working on. Follow  it says up to 6 weeks but recently that 6 weeks is about 4 weeks from approval at USCIS.
Once your case has been created, we will contact you with instructions on how to begin processing. Until your case is entered into our system, we unfortunately won’t have any information about your case.

Current case review time:

This is the link to see what date they are reviewing. Please allow up to three-weeks for NVC to review your forms and documents once we receive both the petitioner’s financial documents and the applicant’s civil documents. You must also have paid all required fees and submitted your visa application online. We will not review your file until we have received all of the above items

And once you've got a case complete, please join the case complete/interview thread started by me, Dwheels76 on (currently August 2019 thread),

Hey friends.

 

Our NOA2 was June 19, 2019. We received the I-797 letter June 24th stating they had forwarded our case to the NVC.

 

We called Thursday, June 27th, 2019. Nothing yet (as expected.) We will continue to call 1x/wk until we are notified that our case has been received at the NVC.

 

Will keep you all updated. Best of luck to all of you!

Well our journey is finally over.  We were approved at the interview last Tuesday and the visas were listed as Issued on Thursday.  We are just waiting on the email from the delivery service and all three should be in the States next week.

Hello July, 

Greetings everyone. My wife and I received an email from NVC last Thursday, the 27th of June with my Case Number and Invoice ID Number. My NVC account has also been activated but we are having problems with making payment on the NVC website. My wife tried paying $120 on Saturday but kept reloading the page after several attempts to successfully complete payment. She has called NVC today but to no avail. What do we do at this point, to prevent her account from being charged multiple times for the same fee and to confirm that the fee has been paid? Do we wait until after Wednesday or Friday (after 3 business days)?

If you're on PC, you can download a free trial of Adobe Acrobat to add text fields. On a Mac, you can use the preview app. Just one thing to note, if you submit the PDF, make sure you turn it into read only copy or it'll get rejected. I had to learn this the hard way.

I called NVC if they received my case or not 

The NVC person on the phone confirmed the received date 

you can call them and ask if they have your case or not
