Hi all. Just got my DS-260 unlocked today. So by next week We will send all documents to NvC. :-)

Anyways, I noticed that after the scan date, it took about 6weeks or so for NVC to review the documents and case complete.

But when i login to the CEAC website, it says it will take them 2-4weeks to review and if everything good they will schedule interview.

Just curious because during USCiS stage the timelines is 5months so before the 5months up we cant really call for update.

NVC stated in their website that it is 2-4weeks review, but was it not the case?

What they told me is, "We currently have a high volume of cases, and they are taking at least 6 weeks to clear."

I don't know why the website says 2 to 4 weeks. 6 weeks is the number that matters. Basically, if it's been less than 6 weeks since your AOS documents were received, they aren't going to give you any information. They'll say "Your scan date is XX-XX-XX, call back when it's been 6 weeks."

Our case took 8 weeks. I suggest calling a week after you mail off the documents, to verify your scan date. Then wait until it's been 5 weeks, and call once a week after that. If it's been more than 6 weeks from the scan date, you can request a supervisor look at your case.

Good luck!

what is this "third n/a" that everyone is reffering to? in the immigrant visa portal place?

Go to https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/

Click on DS-260, Online Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application

Sign in. Look for Affidavit of Support Fee. If your case is at NVC, this will say "PAID". If your case has been cleared by NVC, this will say "N/A".

It worked for me. I logged in about lunchtime yesterday, and it still said PAID. I logged in at 8pm and it said N/A. I called the same night and they told me, "Good news, your case was cleared today."

Hey, friends. I've been lurking in these threads for a couple of weeks. I figured I would let y'all know that our case (for my wife and daughter) was cleared today!

Our scan date was October 5. I've been calling them every Monday for the last 3 weeks. They told me this week that it should be cleared by Friday. I just logged in and got the "Third N/A", so I called and they said it was cleared.

Hang in there!
