Hi All,
Just wanted to share that I got an interview date scheduled! It's a great feeling and I know the struggle.  I was stuck at the NVC stage for 6 months and now finally we can see the end!
Wishing you all peace and a quick NVC process!

Sorry to hear this, i know the feeling and it truly is terrible.  the only positive is at least having a decision and being able to work toward it.
When i got the checklist I was distraught but a part of me was happy for the "release" of not knowing.  I then took the opportunity to book a visit to New Zealand and spend a nice vacation with the hubby, something I wouldn't have otherwise done.  And I used that ticket as proof of financial stress when I contacted my Congressman.  in my case, I ended up seeing my husband earlier than if we had gotten case complete (although of course, for only a limited time).
Just some ideas to lessen the burden, i know its painful.
 

I didn't see if someone already responded to this, but I would say that calling now or waiting two weeks is not going to change anything.  From what I know and have been through with the NVC, it is just going to take however long its going to take - which at the moment seems like 10-12 weeks, they just give people these "6-8 weeks" time frames to call them down, get them off the phone, etc.  It's like parents telling children "in 20 minutes".  Whether you are placed into supervisor review now or in 2 weeks, they will still tell you that after going into "supervisor review" they have 6-8 weeks to review it.
 
With your given timeline, my unprofessional opinion is that you won't be able to get case complete, get an interview and obtain a visa with 7 weeks.  But like I said, its just an unprofessional opinion, and the best route is likely the congressman route.  Also a thing to note is that the US citizen does not need to attend the interview at the consulate, it can be helpful to have them there but is not required.

Hi all!
Hope everyone is holding up - i know this process can be heartbreaking and frustrating beyond words.
I'm lucky enough to be going through the NVC waiting game for a second time  I got a checklist on Jan 10th and my new scan date is Jan 24th so I'm in the same boat as a lot of people here.
 
Some of you have asked what can be done to make things go faster and my recommendation is to contact your congressman.  I have seen posts in here that after someone contacts their congressman, they need to sign a privacy release form, and have the congressman send an inquiry to NVC.  It seems after this is done, things go pretty quickly.  I highly recommend this especially if you are past your 6-8 weeks from your scan date.
 
I sorted things out with my congressman aid and he told me last Thursday he would send an inquiry to NVC.  I will keep you guys up to date with how this goes!  We've been in the NVC process since October (6 months...) and sooooo ready to be done!

Congrats!!!  I'm happy with all the good news rolling in.  I think we'll have even more good news next week!

Chin up everyone!  Evanstillwaiting is an inspiration!  I can't even imagine that awful awful wait!
 
I still have hope and at least we have this community so we can re-adjust our expectations and gain little bits of information from others.  As stated above, it seems that the typical time now is 8-10 weeks and I know a lot of us fall within this time frame.  I definitely recommend any one who is waiting longer than this to contact their senator's office.
 
We got this!

Scan date: 26 Sept
 
Supervisor Review: Nov 8
 
Another Supervisor Review: Dec 21
 
Finally CC today 1/4...... Now hoping for a quick interview date assignment. What a stressful wait......

We used to say, "hopefully today is the day!" but lately my husband has changed to, "hopefully this week, but if not, then next week!"

As the letter says, NVC doesn't assess the value of assets, the embassy does. So they are reminding you to take proof of the assets to the interview for the CO to adjudicate.

As I said earlier, supervisor review is a polite way of saying "yes, we know that you already hit the 6 weeks mark, we know, now go away."
