Nvc time line

[Silverback 0]

So after filing the I-130 it was finally approved 1 year and 4 months. As of April 4 it was approved, what are the next steps to expect and how long does it usually take for NVC to schedule an appointment? What other documents must be filed next so I can already have them prepared?

Several factors are involved:

1.  The time it takes for you to upload all required documents.

2.  The time it takes NVC to document qualify your case.

3.  The length of the queue already waiting for interviews at your consulate at NVC.

You might get some useful info from reviewing the timelines for your consulate.

So I’m looking at the affidavit of support so if I receive disability from the VA which is non-taxable and don’t pay taxes how would I put that on the affidavit of support?

You would include it in your annual income, and you would submit your VA award/benefit letter as evidence of that income.  Also, on the I-864, you must either enter the amounts from your last 3 years of tax returns OR you can explain (on the I-864 or a letter) why you were not required to pay taxes for those years (taxable income below filing threshold, for example).

 

You can get a VA benefits letter from Ebenefits web site.

It’s all laid out here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html

 

And processing times here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html

 

As @Crazy Cat said, the biggest variable now will be your consulate. Wait for an interview once the NVC stage is complete can be as little as 2 months, or as long as 2 years, depending on which yours is. If you can fill in your timeline then you’ll get a better idea. 
 

All of this is assuming you’ve filed for an immediate relative. If you fill out your timeline then it’ll also help as then we’ll know what kind of case it is when you ask questions.
