Thank you Soloenta. I hope its moving in the right direction just like ou mentioned. The CO actually said within 2 weeks. I just cofirmed with my mother. She told me that she asked the CO twice whether he meant 20 or 15 days and he said within 15 days so ...... I really hope to see two passports with two visa within 2 weeks.

You get an email in about a week from when the case actually gets completed. The only way you can find out is by calling NVC .... and I mean calling everyday to see if the case has been completed.
After that it all depends on your embassy's availability. Sometimes people get appointment letter the same day the case gets completed and sometimes they have to wait for 1-2 weeks. In my case it was about week and a half.

Its about 20 business days. They say to wait for 30 business days but in about 20 days they do work on the case so you should be able to receive some sort of correspondence in a day or two.
Yup ... same for me. Congratulations to you.

Ok so ..... I have been reading last couple of pages and posting from today ... Before anyone says something ?...... I just wanted to thank everyone for their advice and suggestion. I very much appreciate that everyone in their own manner or knowledge or experience is willing to share whatever they can...... And believe me it not this helps a lot. Infact I feel like this community in many ways supersedes getting a lawyer. Like always this is a community and we are all here to help each other ?

Thanks. So I guess back to calling. That's fun.

Can I please see some IR-5 approvals from April today??????????? Comeon USCIS !!!

Come on USCIS ..... Churn out some April IR-5 approvals today like CR-1

The worst part is that they think that they can tell or update anything on their website and people wouldnt know anything. They think of us as fools. I guess they dont know that there are forums where people know and share information. They think that we are only looking at their processing times via their website and so they can tell whatever and we have no other way but to believe. I am thinking next month when they update it will be changed to Feb 14 coz technically they are busy so much approving July, August, November and perhaps December applications that they cant get around working on March and April applications.

Now I just hope that they can atleast honor their 60 days notice. This step used to take only 5-6 months at the most. Now its ........ simply unspeakable. I really hope and pray that I hear something positive from CSV in the month of January. Thats all I can say. I wiush I could pay that additional $2500 but when I think about NVC, the medical fees and then the tickets ............ at that point I just calm myself down and tell myself that I have waited 8 months ..... Maybe another month wouldn't hurt.

If you are the petitioner, then for the purpose of I-864, you still have to fill out it out first even if you have zero income and then use your husband on I-864A to show his income. I am telling you this because I still remember when i was going through my green card and at that time I was in college and had no income. At that time (about 5 years ago) I remember I got an RFE saying the same. So I had to re-do I-864 and then submit it again. But your case is moving quick so good luck.

It seems useless. We are pretty much at their mercy. What I don't understand is that how can you've to May or June and in some cases October applications when March and April filers are still sitting. We truly ate being penalized for applying on time or before time. What happened to first come first serve.
No offense to anyone and by that I mean people who are applying in natural disaster zones ..... But everyone who has a legitimate case should and must apply and get approve but only through proper channel and when it's your turn. It's like we are standing in a line to check out and then group of people just walk in and stand ahead of us ....... This is just so wrong. These applications used to take only 5-6 months. With the amount of money they charge you would have that one would get proper and prompt service.

It seems like not much work was done today.... I mean on the 24th. Didnt hear much or guess no one saying anything about any approvals or any good news. Now looking forward to the remaining 2 days of this week and 3 days of next week just because New Years eve will also be a like a half day. I just hope to hear something positive before the year ends,

Congratulations. Btw when and where exactly did the case transferred to? My NOA is April 16 2016 and then the cases were transferred to CSV on Nov 25.
Thank you
