NVC Filers - March 2020

[dwheels76 5,468]

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 April 2020 thread),

With March finally upon us, I wish everyone a speedy and totally pain-free (no RFEs!) way forward!

Can’t believe I joined one of these threads in November and am still here....😫 and I thought I was free from Nebraskan speeds.

 

Hoping for a DQ this month because if I get a second RFE, I will lose it. Lol.

Hoping this month will be our month.  Submitted 1/8.  The possibility of getting an RFE makes my stomach churn!!

I’m hearing you, we got to NVC back in October a stuff up by NVC, failed supervisor review, resubmittance and Expidite request later, we’re still waiting. I thought being at Nebraska was bad enough.. ugh, but on the up side our second wedding anniversary is getting very close now..

 

hoping we get dq very soon
