Just got off the phone with NVC about my checklist. She said my marriage certificate isn't there and that she'll have a supervisor review it. I asked if I should send another copy...she said no because it might delay the closing of the case. I think ill just send a copy anyway. She said the supervisor review would be 42 days...and if they cant find it I would still have to send it and then how many more days!

I'm so sorry - that's awful news. Can you remember including it and if so, did you write your case number on the top of the copy?

I have updated all of you...there were 5 pages worth of thread to read.

Thanks for your effort ariani, it's appreciated.

What visa category are you applying for? I note you mention I-130, so I'm assuming CR1/IR1 spousal visa?

We're CR-1; I changed addresses between my NOA2 date and NVC received date.

I sent an email to the NVC to request that all correspondence is sent to both myself and my wife via email, and handed over our email addresses. I also stated that my physical address had changed. Later in the process, I set my primary address on both the DS-261 and DS-260 as my new address.

So......

CASE COMPLETE as for 03/25, officially confirmed by NVC rep Gina (btw a very nice one).

Scan date (checklist) Feb. 13th.

I am so happy that there won´t be no second checklist for us. And the call was nice and smooth. I didn´t even wait on hold. I was connected within 30 seconds.

Now it's official, what are you going to do to celebrate?

It should have been sent from USCIS to the NVC by now. You should call them and request your case number and invoice ID. If they haven't received it, you can call USCIS and ask when it was shipped to the NVC.

Our AOS fee changed over night from "paid" to "N/A", hoping it is a CC and not a system glitch!

Will call as soon as they open to confirm.

Scan date for checklist was Feb. 13th.

Awesome! Looks like they're definitely catching up, finally!

Do you know, were they cases that were filed electronically or by regular mail?

Yup! The difference is ridiculous!

Paper filers from what I know. The latest had an attorney attached to their case.

Hi everyone

just wanna ask for that 60days is that 60 working day or the calendar day?

It's calendar.

Just thought you guys in this thread would like to know;

Two case completes tonight - scan dates were February 17th and February 23rd. It's looking good!

Confirmed CC today 03/24!!!

Awesome! Time to grab a celebratory drink and look forward to your interview!

I thought it was 7pmEastern. Maybe someone knows.

I'm done trying to guess how they organise themselves now. There just seems to be no way of predicting it. They probably just throw darts at the mounds of paperwork and process whichever case it lands on.

Can someone please explain what are three N/A?

If you have "N/A" listed under your AOS fee on the CEAC website, it's an indication of a case complete.

Congrats to those that have CC's today!

What are NVC hours as far as them doing our documents and closing cases? Like at what point of the night can we feel like "okay tomorrows a new day, no hope for today." ? I am fixated on this reload button 24/7 I need a life, i know. This is my life at the moment! Anyone know at what time they stop reviewing documents and go home? lol

I was under the impression it's 5:00pm eastern time but it doesn't look like that's the case... I know the call center is open until midnight, but I didn't think the staff were cross-trained.

I have 3 N/As!!!!!!!!!! This literally happened in the last 10 minutes because I had just checked! On hold now.

That's incredible! Congratulations!

I'm probably going to be wide awake banging refresh on CEAC now...

Put it on speed dial and just keep redialling. You'll eventually get connected.

My wife is on the phone again now, currently on hold.

We were told yesterday that ALL applications are dealt with in date order (first-in, first-out) so she intends to speak with a supervisor to question why case completes are pretty much all over the place. She'll probably just get told that all VJ users are liars again, but it's worth a shot.

Yeah, once I saw the 3 n/A's I called right away and the rep confirm that my case was complete and need to wait for interview.

Yeah, I really don't know if it helps or not. Hopefully yours gets approved soon.

Thank you so much! Congrats again, hope you get your interview soon!

do you have an attorney, or are you self filing. ?

Self-filed, but I didn't think having an attorney sped the process up in terms of the 60 day wait...

No, not at all.

Well, that's encouraging for the rest of us February filers. My scan date is the 17th of February, so hopefully our case complete isn't too far off.

Can you please add me.

scan date: February 23 2015.

case completed: March 24 2015.

Just called to confirm and waiting for interview appointment.

Thank you.

WOW, February 23rd scan date with a case complete? That's amazing news! Congratulations!

Did you receive a checklist previously or anything?

When was your NOA2?

Once you have received the case number and invoice ID you should be able to log into the CEAC website and complete the DS-261; Online Choice of Agent form. Set yourself as the agent so you receive all written and electronic correspondence, which you can forward to your husband.

You can also email the NVC with the address change for your husband and hand over your respective email addresses requesting that all correspondence be sent to you electronically. You'll have another opportunity later in the process when completing the DS-260 to update your husband's postal address too.

Imagine if they updated it so we could log in & see if there was any changes (update,review started,cc,cl etc...) without having to call!!

Ok so I'm an optimist ?

Why would they do that? It's far too efficient!

Hubby called NVC.. No news. 60days gospel

Sorry to hear that CeeMu... Hope you get your case complete soon!

The Department of State will be performing maintenance on this site on Saturday, March 28, 2015 approximately from 5:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. (Washington, D.C. daylight savings time). During this time, the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) will be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Imagine if they got rid of the N/A glitch...

I just saw this and thought EXACTLY the same thing. It depends whether it's a glitch to begin with.

It really is totally unnecessary. Don't these people realize that our lives are hanging in balance? They are most likely not in the same position, otherwise we'd hear more empathy on their part. I don't understand how people like that are in the business of customer service. If you hate people that much, get a different job.

As someone with a background in operational management of contact centers; if I ever heard any of my staff speak to a customer like that, I'd pull them from the floor and fire them immediately. There is no place in the customer service industry for people that cannot put themselves in the customer's shoes.

I just hope these people never have to experience a year or so without their loved one.

To the best of my knowledge, because the I-130 was approved first you should be on the CR1/IR1 track (someone please feel free to correct this if I'm wrong). Take the time to brush up on the NVC stage using this very informative guide by VJ member Saylin. It should answer all of your questions.
