So frustrated. Docs all accepted 3 weeks ago and no DQ email

[MovingToFlorida 71]

July 1st the last of our documents were marked "Accepted" and we still have not received our documentarilly qualified email. We keep receiving the general email that our case status was changed and to log in to our account but there is no change or no new messages. 

 

We have called twice and they even sent it to a supervisor. Still nothing. 

 

The one lady at NVC said those general emails telling us to log in is automatic for anytime someone is working on our case and just ignore them if there isn't any change or message when we log in. She wouldn't give us a timeframe. 

 

Almost 3 weeks and still no DQ email! I am so frustrated and don't know what to do. We are an F3 Visa so we are 3rd priority and I feel like they just don't care to get us processed. It has taken 13 YEARS of waiting since we initially applied to get to this point. So you can understand my patience is gone. I really don't understand why we haven't gotten "case completed" when everything is there and accepted. Sorry I'm just venting 😔

Isn't 3 weeks the minimum processing time at NVC?

Three weeks! How @missileman and I wish the NVC had been that fast for us when we were there late 2016. That was in the days where everything had to be sent by mail/courier and it took at least 7 weeks to get anywhere. So the online uploading is a huge improvement and it’s still going faster than it ever did for us. 

 

I know it’s frustrating - been there, done that, spent two years apart from my husband. There is one thing you can never have too much of in this process - patience. It will happen. Eventually.

Yes for when you upload a document for them to review it shoukd take no longer than 3 weeks. We called for our last document we sent and they sent it to a supervisor then too because it went past the 3 weeks and in 2 days after that they accepted it. But then it's just sat there. No DQ or case completed email after that. 

 

But it took them 6 MONTHS to even start looking at our documents that we first uploaded. It has taken since the start of November just to get to having them all accepted. Almost 9 months just to review them. And now they ate all accepted it's just sitting there.

We started uploading our documents in October and it took them 6 months to even start reviewing them. They just sat there. So 9 months later and we're sitting there with them all accepted and no case completed email. No idea why. 

 

Like I said we started this process 13 years ago! We applied in 2006. It's not like we haven't been patient. it's so hard to be patient when we are so close yet so far away. Who knows how much longer we will have to wait 😔

You’re an F3, so married son/daughter of a USC. I’m not saying 13 years of waiting is insignificant but, please, you’re an adult with a family of your own. You can’t compare that to the time spouses are apart. Yes, you are a “lower priority” in terms of immigration but if you were on my shoes and had to live apart from your husband for the first two years and 3 months of marriage you’d understand why. Most adults don’t live with their parents. And they survive. Many western countries don’t even permit adult children to immigrate to their parents’ country of residence - be glad you even have the opportunity, which is likely to be removed in the future anyway. 

 

Immigration is a privilege and we just have to dance to their tune. However slow it may be. If the petitioner feels aggrieved at the length of time it is taking, he is welcome to contact his congressperson and request their assistance and involvement. 

 

I imagine that many NVC employees are on vacation now because, you know, summer and all that, so this could be the reason for slower-than-recently processing. When did you pay the fees? It’s my understanding that even if you start uploading/sending months ago they don’t touch anything until fees are paid. It’s the government, after all.

We paid 9 months ago. It took 6 months after paying for them to start reviewing. And although I agree it wouldn't be nice to be away from your spouse that long I think it's ridiculous that a blood relative of a US citizen has to wait 13+ years yet someone can meet a stranger and have them moved into the country in a years time. This is why so many people do fraudulent marriages (not saying this is the case for yourself and everyone but because people can get in so much faster) There is a massive time difference between family and spouses in process time. Its not even comparable. And just because we are a family vs a spousal visa doesn't mean its any less hard as you have no idea our reasons for moving. I understand it's a privilege but It's not easy waiting this long. You can't say one is harder then the other when you aren't in the others shoes and don't know all the details.

We had all documents accepted July 1st but didn't receive the DQ email until July 26th. It took a long time and no idea with the pandemic if things are delayed even more so.
