Hi All,
I am the petitioner with an approved i130 for my foreign wife. PD 2020-09-02 and recently approved 2022-07-29.
Over that time my wife got pregnant with our first child, and gave birth after the i130 approval on November 2022.
I added our child as a derivative in the Applicant Information and Status is Under Review (see image). NVC website says status should update in an hour to pay IV fee for our child, BUT it's been 2 days and NO change in status
From NVC FAQ (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing/ceac-faqs.html#ceac16):
My question is how long does it usually take for this status to update? Anyone have experience with this? I know i have to pay a separate IV fee for our child, and file separate DS-260 and would like to get DQ ASAP.
Thanks so much in advance
Following up... sent a public inquiry to NVC. In meantime, anyone experience this situation and have any timelines/feedback to share?
