This gives me a bit of hope. My 2nd submission was on 4/23/20 . I am hoping to hear something soon because this wait seems so painful than the virus  . I am stuck at a job that I don't like and I need that silver lining. Do you mind sharing what consulate you are applying at?

Mumbai Consulate, India. Embassies opening up for visa services seems like a distant dream now, can only hope that it happens in the next month or two. Hang in there, these times shall pass too. Good luck.

I believe for now every embassy is closed, im checking the news everyday to see if there is an update on opening in ANY country but nothing ☹️

Hi everyone, just joined recently and I thought I'd share our recent activity. It seems like weird things are happening. We submitted to the NVC on Jan 30 but we had to do a resubmission on Apr 8. Over the weekend (weird?!) (16 May) we received another notification. It was a request for W-2s/1099s but we've already submitted these and they've been accepted. In addition to this our profile all of a sudden said we were missing the police certificate which was also already submitted and accepted. I called yesterday and they said it looks complete but it needs to go to next level review. If anyone has had similar experiences I'd be happy to hear them. Good luck everyone!!

I had similar experience. 

They asked for documentation that was already submitted and reviewed and approved. They also asked for a document that they already had and it was the correct document, but kept saying it was the wrong document cause they didn't believe I was married in a country other than my country or my husband's country. Then, to top it all off they kept labeling a document "military record/marriage certificate" 

 

All I can say is that they are idiots. I kept calling and finally got DQ.

They are so unorganized.. it's just frustrating at this point.. congratz btw

I agree, they’re so confusing. I saw a lot of DQ’s for March and May. We submitted on Feb 28th and still nothing 🤷🏽‍♀️

 

When my husband called NVC, they said that they’re still reviewing cases submitted on Feb 14th. Like c’mon seriously 🤦🏽‍♀️

Hi Everyone, I have a qestion about filling the DS260. One of the question is asking for your social media account, so should I list all my active accounts or just the main ones I've been using? 

I would like to know the answer to this too. Also, another few follow up question about the DS-260. We're in the process of finalizing it so we can submit and move on to Civil documents.  

 

1. Under Personal Information 1. They asked for other surnames used, are they asking about nicknames/aliases? Right below it is Other Given names used. What exactly do they want here?

I called and they just said reduced staff. They are basically moving 1 day a week in the past 3 weeks. 
 

I submitted on Feb 20, 2020. Still no DQ yet. I don’t understand how they are processing for submission dates after. 

We also submitted on Feb 28 and nothing. We received an email from them last week that they opened our case but they can’t review it because we didn’t submit everything whereas they accepted all documents on December and they’re only asking for W2 which we submitted on Feb so we got confused.

 

We called them and they said ignore the email and message as it is a system error. 

 

And everytime we asked about our case, they always say they’re still reviewing Feb 14 and no access to cases submitted on later dates.

I think they are more interested in religious names, former married names, maiden names, etc. I didn't include nicknames or anything like that. 

 

For example, there is no need to type in "Ben" if your name is Benjamin.

My i-130 was approved for my CR1 2 weeks ago and I still don't have any update from the NVC. How are they supposed to contact me, via e-mail?

I only ask because even though I had an USCIS account with my e-mail and I included it on my initial application everytime I called the uscis they always told me they had no recorded e-mail on record. Should I just be calling NVC to see if I have a case number or should I wait a little longer to see if they do in fact have my e-mail as I already had an account with uscis and asked the service reps to add it to my file every time I spoke with them.

@USAUAinCZ

 

just wait for it, it take about 3-4 weeks or so. and they will contact you via email.  recently because of covid 19 you can almost wait upto 90 days prior to getting ur NVC information
