You should call them 

Calling them is useless. They just regurgitate their scripts like parrots! You'' wait 70 min to ask a question and they'll tell you something like "you will receive an email once you case has been reviewed" DAH!

What I've heard, which is pretty scary, is they're may be dragging their feet (orders from above) so that October 15th kicks in and they can review our cases under the new "public charge" rule! Some lawyers are saying that regardless of when you first file your petition, re-submission or not, if you case is still at NVC (not yet approved) come Oct 15th we're all going under the knife!  I hope that's NOT true, but it's pretty scary stuff! It's called "changing the rules in the middle of the game". Some Dem. Senators, bless their heart, are trying to block the stupid rule, but it's all still up in the air!

Just got off the phone with the NVC and they received our case on September 13th, now the countdown to getting our case number begins! I'm sure I'll be frustrated with NVC processing times soon enough, but I have to say, after 11 months of radio silence from USCIS it is a nice change of pace to have timelines be in weeks instead of months

Congrats and welcome to the "wait club"!

Yes, I've read that already, and while that's true at face value, they can/will change the rules on you if your application is still not approved and dragging at NVC. They probably won't ask you to fill-out the new I-864 form, but they can use the new poverty guidelines and subject you to all kind of scrutiny! COs will be empowered like never before to deny your case! Let's pray these Senators can get a court order to halt/freeze this damn public charge rule before 10/15.

i think it will be applicable to every one who not yet approved or not get interviewed. because interviewer can tell the applicant to find a joint sponsor he they don't meet the poverty guidelines

public charge rule is very closely related to the I-864. If your AOS  (I-864) is not reviewed, approved, and labeled by NVC as competed b4 10/15, you're in for some fun stuff So I've heard! and you're probably right, even after NVC approves your file and sends to the consulate, COs can still pull a fast one on you!

please correct me if i’m wrong, but as i understand it, if you make over 250% fpg it’s going to be a really positive factor in your visa case, if you make under 125% fpg you’re gonna have some problems. you won’t be automatically denied for not meeting 250% fpg.
