NVC Filers - January 2020

[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 February 2020 thread),

Nov 14th, Canada, but someone else I know from Canada uploaded on the 20th and got DQ a few days ago. So, country could be one thing, maybe the reviewer you get takes more time with some than others based on your case...who knows.

Submitted documents on 11/10, still not DQ yet.  

[neilsqueen 433]

submitted 11/7 and no DQ 😥

[bellaquang 59]

NVC might be still in the holiday mood, so look like we don’t get any DQ today.  

[Emre 23]

Resubmitted on November 17th, no DQ yet. 

[LilyJ 1,258]

Resubmitted 12/18, annoyed with the delay but holding on hope 🤞

[Itsalllove212 65]

Hi everyone. Happy New Year. I hope you all enjoyed the holidays. We submitted our documents on 12/23 and no DQ yet. Not like I'm expecting anything, since the process was bound to slow down in this season. However, I still held on to hope just because we have been going through this visa process for so long. We got approved for a conditional expedite and I'm just wondering if anyone here (or anyone you know) knows if the document review time takes less time for those with conditional expedites? I know there is not much of a pattern with NVC but I wanted to get a feel of what others have been experiencing.

Ugh November 14th still nothing
