You may want to read what it says with a big NOTE: 

That applies to you.

But the email that we received from NVC said this:

 

NVC is responsible for collecting any applicable fees, the Immigrant Visa Application, supporting civil documents, police certificate(s), Affidavits of Support, and financial documents, if applicable, prior to your visa interview at a U.S. Embassy/Consulate General. Do not mail documents to NVC, even if you received instructions to mail documents to NVC in the past.

You will need to log on to the Department of State's Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) at https://ceac.state.gov/IV to check your case status, pay any necessary fees, upload and submit documents, and read messages from NVC.

 

So based of the email we received the first time from NVC it says that you are not suppose to mail documents, so i submitted everything online and it shows everything is paid and submitted.

In that above snapshot When you go to check case status it says this:

 

On Date ... , the National Visa Center (NVC) received your Form DS-260 (Immigrant Visa Application).

Next steps:

Gather the documents below and send them to us in one (1) envelope or email. Instructions on how to send us your documents are online at https://nvc.state.gov/submit. Do not send these documents separately or it will delay your case processing time.

NOTE: If you already sent NVC the financial and civil documents for your case, please go to https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/Submit_documents/nvc-self-tracker.html for information on your case status. Keep in mind that if you recently submitted documents, NVC may still be reviewing them.

1. Step 1: Your Petitioner selects and complete Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support). (See detailed instructions)
2. Step 2: Your Petitioner collects photocopies of financial documents showing income level (example: their federal U.S. tax return, W-2 form). (See detailed instructions)
3. Step 3: Collect photocopies of your civil documents (example: copy of your birth certificate, passport). (See detailed instructions)
4. Step 4: Step 4: Gather the documents above into one package. (See detailed instructions)
5. Step 5: Submit documents to the National Visa Center
   • Send 1 envelope to:
     National Visa Center
     Attn: Document Review
     31 Rochester Ave Suite 100
     Portsmouth, NH 03801-2914

You can find our current document review times at http://nvc.state.gov/submit. However, NVC will not review your file until we have received your form DS-260, the financial documents from the petitioner and the applicant's civil documents. At that time, we will let you know by letter or email if there is anything that is missing or incomplete.

Please note:

• Your case will not advance until you complete the step(s) above.
• If there is no activity on your case for one (1) year, your case will enter termination. If your case is terminated, you will have to restart the process and repay fees.
• If you move or change your address, we will not be able to provide updated information and your case may be terminated. To update your address, please use our online form at http://nvc.state.gov/ask. You can also call +1-603-334-0700 from 7:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) Monday through Friday.

 

 

If anyone have any idea on this, please let me know. Thank you.

It doesn't update until the NVC reviews and accepts the documents, so if you've already uploaded everything requested to CEAC all you can do is wait until the status changes to at NVC and then in transit, etc....

[carmel34 3,531]

When in doubt, call NVC and speak to a real person about your case status.

If you were directed to use CEAC to submit documents to NVC then do not mail them, and yes it basically went that same way, with it saying Action Required, Send requested documents until the case was documentarily qualified and then the case was at NVC. My wife is already here in the USA now.

[Immi896 4]

@suss6052 yes we were never told to send documents by mail and the email that came from NVC clearly said in BOLD that Do not mail documents to NVC, even if you received instructions to mail documents to NVC in the past. It's just whenever i check the case status from that NVC page it shows me that.

 

Thank you for your help!

We are having the same problem as you did. What was experience please share. do we have to wait or contact NVC?

[Sameera anjum 0]

After submitting all the documents our status shows "Action required ". Is this the regular banner or do we have to contact NVC?

@Immi896 I have the same happen to me when I check my status. What happened in the end for you? I assume it changed when your documents were reviewed?
