Brentos, mine took exactly 7 days. Got CC on the 16th and the email confirmation on the 23rd, early in the morning. But why don't you call them? They will tell you the date your case was completed.

Dwheels, I've got my interview sheduled at Dec.13!! 20 days to go!!

Congratulations for everyone with good news/loved ones joining them!
Best luck for upcoming interviews!
Speedy approvals for all!

I know people have been able to travel on their NEXUS card only.

ISSUED!
Since the day after the interview 3 days ago, I've been unable to resist looking at our case on CEAC every few hours. It went from Ready, to Administrative Processing the same day as the interview on the 18th. It was still AP 2 hours ago but now it's changed to ISSUED and I am soooo happy. Thank you God!

I randomly checked CEAC tonight and wow to my surprise, it says issued!
Wow! This journey is soon to be over!
My husband picks up passport with visa in it on Tuesday the 24th, and he flies out the 29th to arrive into my arms on December 1st!!

Just got off the phone with NVC.
Finally the guy told me that our case is complete...I had to ask him like 3 times because I didn't believe him. Because he said "Well it looks like we have everything we need from you", which is what they have told me for almost the last month then tell me about the backlog creating the electronic file etc...so I asked him and he said no everything looks good and you are in line to be scheduled for an interview.
Finally!!
Originally submitted on Sept 7th electronically, they lost the emails
Resubmitted with Scan date of October 12th.
Case complete November 20th (not sure on the exact date...I forgot to ask him I was too excited).
I am probably going to call back Monday to ask again...as I am still like...."are you sure??"

YAAASSSS!!! Got our approval today!
NOA 1: 6/17/15
Approval: 11/20/2015
I Love you guys!! June filers approvals are coming!! July look out you guys are next in line!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hubby flew in yesterday 11/19.. I'm in heaven now!!! Good luck to all...I'll still be here in the shadows.

30 days-ish for CC if everything's good, and then anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks to know your interview date.
Go to the December Interview thread, and click on dwheels' spreadsheet (link in sig or first post) and you can sort by country to see how long people have been waiting to get their dates and to have their actual interviews.

Hi All:
My case has been expedited after my husband contacted his senator. That was reallllyyu quick. The case in now in transit to the Embassy.
Good luck to you all

171 days and 1 RFE later, we finally got it, APPROVED!!! NOA2 11/19. :joy: :joy:

Morning everyone!
I just got off the phone with the national USCIS customer care line. I'm worried because I put in a change of address request on the 29th of october that hasn't been processed yet and of course I'm still waiting for my NOA2 from the Potomac centre (originally at Nebraska PD 7/6/15). What happens if potomac approves my petition but and mails the NOA2 to my old address? I'll have to go check the USPS site to see how long a forward lasts.
I just want my husband here. Our kids want their Daddy here. Holiday time is coming and the depression is starting to fight me hard. I'm keeping my chin up though, for the kids and hubby.
On the upside, I was in South Africa with him for 8 years with my residency in process at their home affairs for 7 of those 8 and absolutely NOTHING happened other than they took our money. So, guess I can't complain about 5 or 6 months, or even a year if it takes that long.
*hops off the soapbox*
Thanks for reading my rant.

Okay!

Quick update. My son's visa is ready to be picked up. Mine just showed issued today... after barely 45 mins in ap after being in ready for three days. Praise The Lord. I can say now we got approved!!

Thank you dwheels!
Fortunately they're all in Missouri and I've moved way out here to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, so it'll be easy to keep under wraps! Only 3 of them are being bigots but if I told any of the others, the word would reach them in no time flat.
I'm so happy, I cry for joy off and on randomly, haaa.

Confirmed !!! Case is complete !!
Wishing great news for who are waiting !!!

Wow !!!
The 3rd magical N/A has just showed up
Calling for confirmation right now !!!!
Scan date october 16th !!

My husband was approved today!!
I was confident and faithful!!
But I still woke up every hour until I got that text from hubby saying I am done with the interview and I will be coming to get my visa on Tuesday at 2pm!
Whoo!!
I have the full review on my timeline!

Thank you! It really has been an awful ordeal.
I hope your family will soon realize that a good job can't compare to a good marriage. When we're old and living the last twilight years of our lives, none of us are going to reminisce with a warm heart about good jobs we had. It will only be the warm relationships that will make us smile and give us comfort.

5 HOURS after my husband was supposed to have his interview, they finally called him in. He sat in the embassy all this time! By the time he called me, I was a nervous wreck and was googling home remedies for nausea caused by anxiety!
When he called, he told me he was kept waiting all that time and had just got his phone and was able to call.....then our call cut and it took 15 minutes to get back in touch! I was FREAKING OUT because I still didn't know the results!.......Finally I have learned that we are...........
APPROVED!!!!!!!!
This is a miracle for us, on account of the FBI thing. When someone (which I'm sure was family members of mine!) filed a FALSE FBI report that my husband is a terrorist (they are against me marrying a Muslim), a full blown FBI and NSA investigation was launched. When I was interviewed by an FBI agent in late September, he told me not to expect my husband to be able to come to the USA for a very long time, because they would have to make quite sure the report was truly false before he could be approved. Since then I have been in such major PRAYER to break this stronghold that was quite effectively put up to keep us apart! GOD ANSWERS FERVENT PRAYER even in awful circumstances!

NOA 1 received on June 22nd and approved NOA 2 received yesterday. Waiting for transferring to NVC hopefully soon

GREAT NEWS EVERYONE, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT
I gave sister my waybill# and she used her own ID and picked it up for me
Life is going good
