NVC Filers - September 2020

[dwheels76 5,461]

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 to interview thread started by me, Dwheels76 on (currently October 2020 thread),

Anyone else getting application error when trying to save DS-260? Haven’t been able to do anything for a couple days now

I've read that the average wait time is 60 days until they approve and then another 30 days until the interview is scheduled. Does anyone have any recent experience with this and the time frames? We are going through the embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia

Interviews are very much backlogged bc of COVID. Many embassies have not resumed interviews - some that have been cancelled since March. So the 30 days until the interview is scheduled timeframe may be a bit longer. This will depend on embassies around the world. Best bet is to look for info specific to your embassy in Jakarta.

Congratulations. I have added you to the spreadsheet. You need to be over in the DQ to Interview queue.

 

Also there is no time frames since COVID. First embassies need to open once they open they will be dealing with all the cancelled appointments. Then after that phase they will start sending monthly calendar to NVC to start scheduling.

Hi!
We received our DQ email yesterday (Egypt)

Submitted: August 13

DQ: September 4

Hello All,

Our I-130 NOA 2 approval came few days back. So are we officially on NVC track or something has to be done from our side? I have read the forums and also checked the process map diagram - am confused on 'Case Completed' part. Our I-130 status shows Case Approved only.

I guess the NVC will create our case in their system and then some new status check link will be used with some other IOE type tracking number.

Please clarify.

 

Am petitioner, here in US, a citizen. Applicant is my Hubby, he is in India.
