Hey 

I’ve been looking but didn’t find a forum yet for  Potomac . Anyone here had their case sent over there ? Or  anyone who’s had their file sent over before , how long did it take to get approved? I hear they’re kind of moving a bit faster than the others . 

My PD is 7/10/19

Hi by chance, has anyone in here having a trouble with AOS payment still? We were not able to pay AOS fee and IV fee together. It was like after 3 days when AOS fee became available and still showing in process after 3 days. Checked the account use and it was debited a day ago already.

Takes 2-3 days after it’s drawn from the bank account, check in a day or two; I’m not Potomac but we paid AOS on Friday, money drawn from bank Monday, and just changed to paid today

Hi, we were at Potomac. VJ counts that it took 174 to get NOA2. We got an RFE for petitioner passport photo that took them about 2 months to review ( and it had actually been included). So potentially it could have taken only 4 months to get approved but seems like "something" always happens... Now we are stuck at NVC but overall I think our case has gone well. Wishing you good luck!

Hi everyone , 

I am also a Potomac filler with IOE receipt #. PD is July 11th. VJ approximation is getting further every week 😞💔. As of now mine shows around christmas time. I have seen three people get approved for June 21/22 past weekend. I hope they start working on July sooner. Eagerly waiting ... 

Good luck to all🤗

Mine is July 24 and I've also noticed it keeps going up. So much for Potomac being the fast one. :(

I'm stressing more now after seeing what a massive backlog Montreal has for interviews too. Feels like I will never get there.

Something to be grateful for is that at least it is not Nebraska; They are taking 12+ months over there, double the time of Potomac. It feels like it will never get there but it will, all in due patience
