NVC Filers - December 2019

[dwheels76 5,462]

Welcome to another monthly thread for those going through NVC

 

Please read everything below and refer to it throughout your NVC journey, whether this is your first month at NVC or your third. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before posting questions, please read the wiki Saylin wrote on the NVC process here. Once you're done, read it one or two more times to really understand it ;)Don't forget to also read the official form instructions as well as USCIS and NVC's websites!

If you want to see a visual of the NVC process, please view Saylin's flowchart here.

Yes this thread was created by our great Queen Saylin and the knowledge is still going forward. This thread I pray stays alive and well as many who have gone through the process or still going can chime in and help and assist.

If you're wondering about time frames, look at the fellow members right here in this thread! Study their signatures/timelines and make notes. VJ also has this awesome page. Use it! I sure did during my process .  That means if you are on this thread WE expect you to have an up to date timeline.

 

Current case file creation time:

This is the link to go to see what date they are working on. Follow  it says up to 6 weeks but recently that 6 weeks is about 4 weeks from approval at USCIS.
Once your case has been created, we will contact you with instructions on how to begin processing. Until your case is entered into our system, we unfortunately won’t have any information about your case.

Current case review time:

This is the link to see what date they are reviewing. Please allow up to three-weeks for NVC to review your forms and documents once we receive both the petitioner’s financial documents and the applicant’s civil documents. You must also have paid all required fees and submitted your visa application online. We will not review your file until we have received all of the above items

And once you've got a case complete, please join the case complete/interview thread started by me, Dwheels76 on (currently January 2020 thread),

Happy December everyone!!!!!!!!! Slow start to the month since the NVC is closed today ☹️

However, I am very hopeful that I will get DQ this week or early next week 🤞

[Prisonmate 93]

I called this morning. I set my alarm to wake me up 4AM to call them. Hopefully, they will be back to working tomorrow. Otherwise, each day they don't work is another day added to the petition process.  In a few days, it will be 30 days since I got my NOA2. I tried emailing them a week ago but got a standard reply telling me to send email via their website. I have not heard from them.

Welcome to the new month everyone,

Hi Everyone,  

 

I was wondering if there is a way  to know if NVC has received my approved petition? My petition was approved on 11/01/2019, yet to receive any correspondence from NVC. There is no further case status update on myUSCIS. I received the NOA2 (approval letter) on November, 6, letter states as folllows " we have sent the petition to the U.S. Department of State National Visa Center (NVC)..."

 

Thanks for your help & suggestion in advance

Amen!!! 38 days today since second submission. The same docs were used for me and our little daughter. She got DQ right after the first review... And I had to submit it again. 🤷🏻‍♂️  Really waiting something good this week. God bless us all!!! 🙏🏻

My wife’s proof of domicile. We used the same for both cases (for me and our daughter. Accepted for her, rejected for me. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂🙏🏻

Does DS-261 still out there? when i logged into my account and clicked that ,it does not do anything, one of my friend called the NVC and got respond, says ''we do not need that anymore.''

I paid both of the fees and its already being processed ( not completed yet) from my bank account. Confused. Anybody has this experiencing this ?

WOW... they are so random. I use my passport and driver’s license as a proof of domicile what did you use?

Thank you, should i use I-864 or I-864EZ? As i am only the petitioner and just filing for my wife, i should be good with I-864EZ right?
