Case# probably will be assigned 14 to 28 days from them receiving.

Our case took 21 days to be assigned.

I absolutely know that feeling.... I hope it comes through for you soonest.

We still got 2-3weeks to go before Adrenaline starts pumping for a refresh almost every minute.

Fingers Crossed you get CC this week....you are so close!!

Thank you!!! Fingers crossed for y'all who are almost due =)

Checking if I got 3 N/A's like every hour... Bet I ain't the only one

I hope to see many CC this week!! We are at 24 days today

Yay, that would be lovely! 28 days here...

Wishing everyone a swift response for CC this week.

Thank you and likewise!

I'm hoping this is the week in which we get CC =)

Has anyone here had experience submitting a needed document before a checklist has been generated?

We submitted our packages to NVC in the beginning of this month, and we just received a police clearance that we thought was unattainable. Our original package includes documents to support our claim that the police clearance could not be attained; but, luckily they FINALLY issued it after many months of us trying to get it. Anyway, I'm just curious how this might affect our scan date.

Also, if I included a copy of my passport in our packages do I really mail it to my husband?

We experienced that: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/583969-nvc-filers-february-2016/page-53#entry8015716

Congratulations, by the way, to all of you who have got CC ;-)

The DS-260 confirmation page says they won't review the DS-260 until they receive the AOS and IV documents. either way, I'm sure we're looking at 30-45 days. Here's hoping 30 days.

We can also hope for less days too, why not?

We normally do too...but we didn't when they received our packets. I just thought it was strange.

Lately, they have even been answering to my queries about the case via email, which I believe it's even more strange

Its on their signature timeline:

01/25/2016 NVC scan date (waiting time given until case complete: 30-45 days)

02/16/2016 NVC 2nd scan date (got a checklist)

Exactly! ;-)

Fingers Crossed CC soon!

Thank you! =)

We never received an email stating that our packets were received. However I did call NVC and they did receive them. Did anyone else never get an email?

I always get notifications via email from them.

Hi guys, there will be a delay but it won't be 45 days.

A checklist does not reset you back to the end of the line, it puts you aside and back in line when you comply.

Do you mind to share with us what triggered the checklist? That is how we all learn.

Good luck.

Long story cut short:

The 2014 taxes transcript was taking very long to get. Don't know why...

That's the reason it took us long to send all and be given the first scan date. We could have had everything done by late December.

Therefore, we sent all except 2014 taxes transcript, including an addendum in lieu of it.

Later, we were able to get it, so we mailed it (just in case). When they received it, we were given this second scan date.

It's not technically a checklist, but it feels like it.

Anyway, since we rely on a joint-sponsor to meet the requirements and all is OK on that side, we are positive that everything will be alright and faster than predicted ;-)

Well, well... got a checklist and now I have a new scan date (Feb 16).

Pray with me to avoid waiting for 30 to 45 more days?

I will keep my fingers crossed for you guys too!!! Good luck soooo much to you!!

Thank you! And congratulations

Wow! CC in 3 weeks! Congratulations!!!

This is my dream too! I'm still hoping for it =)

Just called NVC. My case was added in the system four days ago. They said I have to wait 30 days for the invoice and case number.... The waiting game begins.

I was told 42 days to get case number, but it only took 21 days! Think positive =)

Hey.. welcome back, I estimate your CC will be around March 4th.

Buena suerte tios.

According to what I see below... It's very possible I end up waiting until then. Unless a miracle happens! And I'm open to that possibility =D

¡Gracias!

scan date 8 jan

case complet today 16 feb

Congratulations ;-)

Hi! How are y'all doing?

Haven't posted in a long time...

Called NVC today to find out about my case, because it's been more than 3 weeks since the scan date. Turns out I could be waiting up to 45 days!

Patience, yeah? ;-)

I know... It's way over. Now, however, AOS fee shows paid. IV fee still shows as in process.

And now the IV fee shows as paid as well, so that unlocks the online DS-260 form!

2-3 business days to show fees as paid? 7 natural days in our case...

Have a great weekend y'all!

f*** no i did not, it dont say that on the check list.

I know we need for Embassy and Medical, never seen for IV.

So can be outdated like other guides in here.

Well they do stat that it will take 2-3 working days. And thats over now.

So my AOS says "PAID" so about a week for it to clear.

I know... It's way over. Now, however, AOS fee shows paid. IV fee still shows as in process.

Today marks one week since we paid the fees for both AOS and IV. In process still showing... Patience!

This link does not seem to be working for me . There were files which were transferred to the new center potomac . What does this particular link say

Since you mentioned "Now it states case received in my local office", I figured it could mean the USCIS office in India, located in New Delhi: http://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-offices/india-uscis-new-delhi-field-office

Any approval for people who got transferred to potomac

Do you think it was tranferred here? http://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-offices/india-uscis-new-delhi-field-office

Thanks for your information.

Mucha suerte y Feliz Navidad

¡El placer es nuestro!

Happy holidays! =)

Did you receive via email a Welcome Letter with the DOCUMENT COVER SHEET that has the list of supporting documentation to indicate was is INCLUDED, NOT AVAILABLE and NOT APPLICABLE?

The email that SoerenHelmer and I received?

What cover sheet are you planning on using for your IV package?

Thanks for your input.

Our process here is slightly different from yours, since we hired an attorney when we started the process. Therefore, our attorney was automatically chosen our agent and we didn't have to do the DS-261.

We got a welcome letter that was addressed to our attorney and it included the instructions to pay the fees through CEAC, which she already paid this past Friday (although CEAC still shows as "in process").

This is what we see when we enter CEAC (edited some data to protect our privacy):

As i payed i got all the paperworks needed.

I payed Agent Fee Friday and it´s still processing!

I payed IV Fee last night and its processing.

Can you tell me here or in a msg, how you put it together.

IV fee and AOS fee still showing as "in process" and they were paid on Friday... Patience as usual!

Here we got most of the information and documents ready. Only waiting to receive some tax stuff we need for the AOS. We need a joint-sponsor, but we have that covered too.

I need to request the police certificate, but my attorney has not instructed me to do it yet (I believe it's due to a expiry date matter).

Wishing all the best to y'all, so we have a smooth and quick journey through NVC and Consulate! I'm very happy to read about your updates

Good luck everyone. I just sent NVC an email regarding my situation and that I need them to change my embassy from philippines to canada. Thats another month of waiting for me before I can proceed to the next step after receiving NVC case number. I dont mind waiting since my wife and I and our kids are living together already. The wife just wants to move to the U.S of A.

I am happy for everyone who are progressing and wish everyone good luck!

I hope you get it solved soon! =)
