December 29th. We were hoping for an earlier date. I'll talk to the embassy on Monday and will try to reschedule it. I really hope they will be able to change it.

I've been told it takes at least 30 days unless there is a problem with the documents, more documents are needed. My case took 27 days and I just received an email with the date and time for the interview (3 days after case was completed).

Here how the NVC status will change:

It was posted by ItsGonnaBeWorthIt. I just didn't know a better way to quote it.

That was very helpful, thank you! I was just wondering when and how case status will change. Hopefully it will happen sooner ...

Does anyone know if the status changes after the case is completed at NVC when you "Check My Visa Application Status" @ http://ceac.state.gov/ ?

My case was completed 11/10 but the status still shows AT NVC.

Actually, have you received the email about your case completion?

NVC rep told me that they're still scheduling for December. Can't wait ...

Thanks to Almighty.

I have a case complete finally, my scan date was 08th Oct and today I saw the 3 N/A which got me excited

To confirm if its a case complete I called NVC and the rep told me that you have got a case complete today and now give sometime for the interview to be scheduled

I pray you guys get a case complete soon just have patience and I hope you guys will have some good news in this week

Hi vj86, could you please let us know when your interview is scheduled. We got our case completed today (saw 3 N/As and confirmed with NVC)

Can't wait to find out when the interview is going to be...

Agree .... I just need more patience ...

Good day to all. I am a very confused newbie here.

In the CEAC site it shows 3 N/As (one each for AOS Fees, AOS documents and Financial Documents and Civil Documents). Status for IV Application and DS-261 is 'completed'. IV Fees is stated as 'Paid'. Our scanning date is Aug 21. We called up NVC and was asked to wait and be patient. Our case is put on 'Supervisor Review' a few weeks back and we still have no reply from NVC. We have gone so far and still don't see the light. Where did we go wrong? Anybody out there who can give us some ‘enlightment’? Thank you in advance.

Have you paid AOS fee? On my case AOS fees shows "Paid". I just don't understand why it should say N/A when it is paid.

3 N/A are not a hard and fast rule , because my case is completed and I got a case completed email and I am just waiting on the Interview letter , and I still dont get 3 N/A's . I know a lot of other members whose case is completed and gone on to interview without getting 3 N/As.

How long did you wait from sending all supporting docs (IV and AOS) till you received the email? I feel like it's taking forever....

Bahahahahahah. Sorry, I don't have any advice to your question; I just had to say your profile picture made me laugh, a lot.

Agreee, LOL

It just takes a day or two to be entered into their system. It's normal, I remember same thing happened when I first received an email with my case number.

That has nothing to do with of waiting your case to be approved. Nebraska Service Center approves I-130 petitions for a little over 5 months.

I think you will receive an email that says "The NVC has received all documentation necessary to complete pre-processing of your case ..." or somethng similar.

We've been impatiently waiting for that notification almost a month already. I was told we have to wait 30 days to review all IV and AOS docs that we sent 10/13. I was also told they will notify us.

I would pay them immediately. It probably won't let you pay them at the same time so first submit the AOS payment and right after that go ahead and pey the other one - the IV.

4-5 days later the payments will be posted and then will let you complete IV application. If you chose to be the Agent for your Beneficiary then you'll be able to complete it on his behalf.

I would suggest right after completion of IV app start collecting financial and supporting docs. Once the cover sheet is available on your account (under your log in in NVC website) and your ready with all documents don't wait mail them to the address on the cover sheet. Everything takes time so don't waste it!

My supporting docs were delivered on Tuesday. I called today and they still haven't logged them into their system. After they do it, it could take up to 30 days to process them.

Just sign in on - http://ceac.state.gov/, you need your case# and ID#. They won't take your email until you choose an Agent, DS-261, it it's available go ahead and complete it, should take you only a couple of minutes.

I would not wait, if it's giving you the option go right ahead and complete it. Every payment or completion of a form takes them some time afterwards to process it. It took them 5 days after I made the IV and AOS payments to change it to paid and another 2 days to let me complete the IV application.

You don't have to wait 28 days, it will happen a lot faster. Go ahead and sign in on NVC website. I had IV and AOS fees invoiced next day after I received case# and ID # and paid them immediately. I have an attorney so I didn't have to choose an agent, you may have to ...

As a non-alien resident? I don't think so. I did not and there was no penalty. The OP is not yet a permanent resident.

It has nothing to do with residency, IRS will penalize for not having health insurance. Obamacare.

"The fee for not having coverage in 2015

If you don’t have coverage in 2015, you’ll pay the higher of these two amounts:

• 2% of your yearly household income. (Only the amount of income above the tax filing threshold, about $10,150 for an individual, is used to calculate the penalty.) The maximum penalty is the national average premium for a Bronze plan.
• $325 per person for the year ($162.50 per child under 18). The maximum penalty per family using this method is $975."

For 2016 will be more.

Hi there,

I filed I-130 for our adopted son who is 5yrs old, and the petition was approved September 8th. Currently our case is at the NVC, AOS and IV already paid.

Your 2 year required custody starts to count when you get custody of the child (could it be before it's been legalized). You also have to have physically 2 yrs with the child ourside the US in order to qualify for I-130 IR2. Once those two requirements are met the child considers to be no different than a biological child.

There's very limited information on IR2 petition so if anyone who has been through the same process and would liket to share their experiences would be much appreciated.

... just called and obtained my case # and ID #. I was told up to 28 days from today beofore I receive the invoice

Our case was approved September 8th. NVC received it September 21st. We still don't have case #. I call every day and I am given different time frame each time I call, anywhere from 10 days to 42 days, 4 weeks ... from receiving the case from USCIS (21st).

Does anyone know how to expedite the NVC process once case # is assigned?

With all my heart wish you the same ..... happiness

OMG!!! We were approved yesterday!!!!

Thank you guys for your support and I'm sure yours' are coming ... soon..

Please let us know ...

Thx
