Hi everyone , 

i was approved on 08/08/2019 by NSC and after 23 days my case is still not sent to NVC ,( USCIS.gov or my USCIS are still not updated) .

 last time we called USCIS they told us that it can take up to 3 months to transfer it 😩 is it real or is it just a joke ??? 

I mean , after more than 11 months waiting for the approval they want me to become crazy I think ..

I’m in the same situation! I was approve a day before yours and mine still not sent to NVC

Anyone has a clue of an approximate of  how long the whole process by the time it'll reach interview dates? I'm still at NOA1 PD 08/21/18. 

NVC is around 2-3 months. Couldn't tell you how long for interview because interview availability and wait time entirely depends on the embassy as different embassies have different amounts of backlogs of applicants they need to interview

Ours took a month to get to NVC. I am pretty sure that will receive yours this week. I am hoping that we get case number this week.

Yes I think this week... 🙏🏼

 

Nvc is slow with giving a case number.  How about the ds 260 thing. That's another wait

Yes for sure..some embassies have a backlog of close to a year while others have a backlog of just a couple months. Always hard to tell what it will be like for someone. NVC is the most controllable part of the stage (once you actually get a case number...) since at least with that you can shorten the length of time by submitting documents asap and then most people it seems get case closed around a month after document submission, USCIS and embassy is practically out of our hands of how long it will take..

My husband is also from Canada. What's the backlog like up there?

CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZED USER.

 

Hello everyone. I just wanted to say for those that are trying to establish bonafide marriage or to to boost your bonafide documents already, I was able to add my wife as an authorized user on my credit card. today her credit card arrived in the mail and i will be mailing it to her. Now moving forward my monthly credit card statements will show both of our names on it. Even though we do  not have a joint bank account i think this helps as well. Be advised my wife does have an ITIN number from the IRS because we filed a joint tax return this year. In order to add your wife or husband they need to have atleast a Social Security Number or an ITIN number. I just wanted to share.

Oh my.. nvc is better than all of them.  But embassy is a pain in the a** for some

Mines is .. mumbai is backlogged.

Why are we tortured

How do you guys know how backlogged your embassy is? I'd like to find out for when our petition is approved... Just to know what's still ahead of us. We'll be in Amsterdam.

I check the recent VJ timelines from the countries that use our embassy (so I check timelines from Sweden, Denmark, and Norway since they all 3 interview in Sweden) and see how long it took them from Case Closed to interview

Thanks...that doesn't look very promising. @Saci Singh says Mumbai is backlogged but the average between NOA2 and interview is 165 days there. Amsterdam is  184...

I wouldn't check from NOA2 to interview since the amount of time between NOA2 and interview depends on how long it takes them for submitting their documents at NVC first and because NOA2 to interview also counts all the time it took during NVC phase; I'd go directly to their profiles timelines and check from Case Complete at NVC to interview

 

Edit: To me it looks like around 2 months from CC to interview, here's 1 example from Amsterdam out of the last recent 3

Aww sorry to hear..

It's just terrible with these embassies.  We are supposed to be immediate right.. I don't know what they're thinking.. after NVC, it should be our finish line approaching.  They want to delay us more.  Arghh.

I wrote the mumbai.. but I heard they were backlogged the past few months for f2a and tourist, student visas.  How about ir1/cr1 .. spouses. Like us.  So ridiculous
