Wow that was fast!  Congratulations!    We filed an online online petition at the beginning of February and so far the last "touched" was on February 3rd, 2021.

Just received an email from the NVC with case account information.  My online status also changed to "Case Was Sent to The DoS"

Filed on online 2/9 for my wife, step-daughter (over21) and step-son(under21).  Wife’s and daughters case in VT and sons is in TX.  Feb 18 sons case is being reviewed, and still as of 3/5.  Wife and daughter no movement yet.  Hopefully, they will realize they are “all together” as we filed together.

The over 21 case will take much longer than the other two.

Even for my wife?

The over 21 daughter. Your wife and under 21 son are IR (or Cr) categories, the over 21 is F1. Your wife and son will have maybe a year to go till they get visas, the daughter more like 6-7 years.

There is no “all together” for these applications ..... they stand on their own and will be processed individually. You may be able to get some concurrent processing happening once they are all at NVC.

By the way, you married your wife when your stepchildren were under 18, correct?
