Hi,

On average how long does it take for NVC to receive a case. I called to see whether they received it or not and they said it can take up to 90 days...is this true?

Also if everything is done properly how long can the NVC process last. I was going to post this in the NVC forum but it seemed to full of K1 filers so I thought I would post it here.

Hope some can answer my question.

First answer: about 2 weeks

Second Answer: about 3 months

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

it really can take the full 3 months for NVC to get your case into the system. ours did, but along every step we seem to be the outlier. hopefully you'll have better luck

met summer 1999, summer 2000 hooked up-whoo hoo summer fling

summer fling failed to fizzle, married 2003

I-130 mailed 12/15/03

4/1/04 no word from NE contacted senators office, app found

NOA1 4/13/04

Gave up on ridiculously long US process-started Canadian

12/4/04 submitted app

LSS app returned because of missed signatures, lost in transit, resubmitted in June

9/28/05 landed, yippie

10/4/05 fly back to US to "finish up Master's" lose mind and switch to PhD

Damn it back to the US process

3/something/2005 finally get NOA2, no idea why it took so long

I mentioned the usual time based on my experience with the process plus others' timelines. Sorry to hear that yours took about 3 months to go to NVC.

Yes, if you are lucky, then it can take about 2 months. I did everything I could including James' shortcut to speed up our case. It took us about two and a half months from assigning our case number to case completion.

yup, you can just use our timeline as the longest estimate. Whoo hoo 15 months for I130 to be approved with no RFEs. Our file is apparently flagged-"toss in corner and forget at every opportunity"
