It usually takes about 2 days for NVC to say they forwarded the request to the embassy/Consulate, and about another4-5 days to get the response from the embassy. Each one is different, but that’s about the time it took on mine. 

Thank you!

Does anyone know from recent experience, how long it takes hear back on NVC expedite request?  Thanks 

It took them 10 days to respond to our email.

And here is the answer

 

Due to COVID-19 concerns, the U.S. Embassy in Paris has suspended visa services. We are unable to forward your expedite request to the U.S. Embassy for review. The U.S. Embassy will resume visa services as soon as possible but cannot provide a specific date. Please continue working with NVC to prepare your case. For the most up-to-date information about the U.S. Embassy's operating status, please visit the Embassy's website at https://usembassy.gov. You may wish to resubmit your request once the U.S. Embassy resumes routine services.

 

Naively, I thought that eventhough the Embassy was closed, they would still be working "backstage". It seems they are not. At least at the Embassy in Paris, city where now, most of the Covid is gone.

We send the email on June 1rst and got the reply early this morning (June10th).

 

Stressful in terms of work, flat rental, my family, etc. Hard to organise anything. I know we are all in the same situation so I'm sorry for complaining (but sometimes it feels good to do so 😤).

I'll stay positive

 

Take care guys,

Alix

Hi all

 

increasingly frustrated at the inconsistency of expedited being sent to London

I sent mine in just before they all closed and London agreed to expedite once they open again. 

But not expedited are being sent?

i emailed NVC to see if my case would be sent as a priority once London reopen officially and got a blanket response that DQ are sent in the order they DQ, nothing to do with expedited cases. 

Realistically travelling to London twice would still be tricky at the moment. But urgh 

sorry just having a whinge

 

ps how do i change my signature to include this :-

It’s okay, I complain alllllll the time haha. It’s the only thing that keeps my from going crazy. I beat myself up thinking about the mistakes I made and how she would be here now if I hadn’t made those mistakes, but oh well. In portuguese we say “Não chore pelo leite derramado” (Dont cry about the spilled milk) 😂. I try to stay positive, I just hate when my family tells me to stay positive 😂

I would recommend you post to a thread appropriate for your visa category. This is specifically for CR1/IR1 visas (spouse of US citizens).  Looks like you are applying for a F-2A, which follows different timelines. Any information you get here may not apply to you.

I know what you mean - people who tell you to stay positif when you feel bad...

... And still, remember this amazing text (it doesn't matter weather you are a believer or not in fact, change "God" into whatever you want, your conscioussness or whatever) :

 

God, give me grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.

 

Sorry guys, I hope this little spiritual parenthesis won't bother anyone 🤩, but I really thought about it today :  there is literally nothing we can do to have the Ambassies open asap. So let's wait in the most cool way and save our energy on something else (said the woman who literally spent all of her breaks from work on the internet to search infos about the Embassies hahahaha).

 

👍
