Posted this in the scan date group but you guys are my homies - Jan 2017 filers from start to finish 😂😂😂 sooo we were expecting a checklist because we thought we would have income problems and would be asked to get a joint sponsor but I just logged into ceac and status has changed to AT NVC and aos payment has disappeared soooo loooks like signs of a CC ?!?!?! Can anyone confirm this - is it still possible it will change back and we will get a checklist?? Don't wanna get too excited before knowing but at the moment even a gust of wind on the site gets me ecstatic 😂😂 

 

our scan date was August 9th and possible case complete today ?! (Sep 21st) 

Congratulations!! Definitely looks real!! If you guys call, they'd likely confirm that if you haven't yet received the email.

Hello!  My husband had his interview in Belize this morning and was approved!!! I am anxious for next week when he can go back and pick up all of the documents just to know that it is for real and then we will book a ticket for him to join me.  I almost cannot believe that we are at this point after so much research, paperwork, waiting, and money!  I am grateful for the support I have found here when needed. Best of luck everyone!

Wow!!! Congratulations to you guys!!! You've reached the finish line! Now just time for the actual move and you guys can put this whole thing behind you.

Nope, nothing yet! I phoned this morning at like 8.30 am NVC time and got straight through to someone but he said no interview date had been scheduled yet and to just keep checking my emails. I literally have received nothing from NVC in terms of correspondence about CC. We confirmed over the phone but no email as of yet from embassy etc. Will keep y'all updated! 2 people who got CC last week a day or two before mine who are also going through London embassy had their interview date given within 2 days! Was hoping I'd hear today but I'll just keep waiting 😊

Aw man! Well I'm sure you'll hear something soon! 

Thanks for keeping us updated. 

@LaurenAndBrent  have you guys gotten word on your case being sent to the embassy or information for the interview?

im sure you would've told us, but I'm just trying to get an idea torn us Jan filers how that process may go. I know the instructions are usually received a few days after CC

Ahhhh! Lil update - I had a  VERY last minute tonsillectomy on Wednesday... that's kinda irrelevant but basically im now recovering at home and have been checking the ceac website a few times every day. My husband phoned NVC on Monday which was our 6 week since scan date and they said to check back within a week or two as it was in the review department... When I was in hospital I read a silly horoscope and it said "you will receive interesting news by letter or email on Friday"... Ok so usually im not a believer in all that stuff but it made me smile. Well, guess FRICKIN what! Case complete as of today! No official update yet but the case status has turned to "At NVC" and our AOS section has disappeared. Sooooo excited! Making the pain of recovery so much more bearable right now  happy weekend everyone! 

Omg!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!

Hey guys! I've totally been MIA, lots going on and I just have been caught up. Ive been trying not to think about the process. 

However, today, I called NVC for an update. 
Previously, they've said something along the lines of "we received your paper work on 7/28 and we have 11 weeks to review, you'll receive and email when they have completed the review process"

Today, they said they are actually reviewing our documents now and will contact us when it is complete. I asked if that 11 week estimate is still accurate for CC.  She said that she can't tell us how long it will take them to review. I know that this process is not too predictable time-wise. But I guess I'd just like to know if anyone knows how long it may take from here now that we are officially under review.

Would this question be better asked elsewhere do you guys think?

I did NOT realize I posted in here!! I am so sorry. I thought I posted in my regular Jan filers group lol. thanks again thought for helping out

Really? Thank you!!

Hmm not saying that it's not possible but I think they have just started on July scan dates. Many times they tell people their case is under review but they just mean it's waiting to be reviewed most of the time. It only takes a small amount of time to actually review it when it gets in someone's hands it just the time up until then. Me personally I don't think they actually know when it has been picked up for review. But who knows hopefully they have sped up time for you guys!!

 

Good luck!

Thanks for the response!! We shall see

now maybe in my panicked reading I missed something. 

But when is this to take effect?

I went along and submitted it, i was advised by another VJ'er to do so because they had the same situation. When my file goes to the embassy for interview i can ask them to adjust my DS260 and change my passport details. I will get the new one next week.

Now i'm at ease a bit more lol

Perfect!! I saw that after I commented. I should really start reading all the new posts before adding my 2 cents haha

Anyway, so glad you were able to move forward!

so I just "completed" My ds260 but can't submit it yet, since my passport was still valid for only 9 months I went ahead and applied for a new one....so I'm waiting on it...untill then I have a few days to check..check and double

....triple check if everything is filled in correctly😁 madnessss

Hahaha!!! Yes I'm sure you'll have the form memorized by the time you're ready to click submit haha. 

How long will you have to wait for your new passport?

woo hooo @LaurenAndBrent and @larnar1309!!! So glad you guys were able to submit.

time to reset the clock...we are pros at this waiting game!!

@Yeonin any update for yours? I know you mentioned that you have to wait to submit docs, but do you see "paid" yet?

Hi there, 

 

We have received a couple emails from NVC. The one addressed to my husband contained the AOS bill, but mine didn't have the IV bill...

Also, when I connect to the NVC website and enter the case# and bill#, the IV bill section is not active... is there a delay between those two bills?

 

Sorry if my question is dumb, but i'm not sure if this is normal or some sort of technical issue on NVC's portal.

 

 

 

yes, like @Yeonin said, there is a delay, my AOS was pending for 2 business days before we were able to pay the IV fee

10 hours ago, Yeonin said:

Did the  AOS on 7/17 and IV on 7/20, mine didn't change to paid unfortunately. Did you manage to do your DS260 @AnIJrny

yes, submitted on 7/26/17. 

Scan date for supporting docs 7/28/17

Ahaha oh no!!! Yea - luckily I've never driven before so I'm hoping it won't confuse me!! That sounds so tough tho 😭😭😭 I'm both super excited / super terrified to drive in the us... why are all the cars the size of houses ?!?! Haha

Oh wow! I think you got lucky coz I paid my IV on 7/13 but it's still not gone through  

Oh man! I'm not sure but I do hope you guys will be able to complete the DS-260 soon!!

54 minutes ago, larnar1309 said:

Yay! When did you make the payment ?  

AOS on 7/14 

IV on 7/18

changed to paid on 7/25

Hey guys! They NVC is making progress slowly but surely. My AOS and IV fees showed as paid on the 25. So maybe they are going in individually? Not sure. But looks like they are taking care of the issue thank fully. 

(Sorry if I told you guys this already! I didn't feel like looking through lol)

Hey guys. I've been MIA. But i see we were all going through this processing glitch the NVC is having. 

we finally were able to begin our DS-260 a few days ago and submitted today. So its coming guys!!!

it took about 8 days from payment of IV fee until the app was opened  

Also sent off the documents today. All this time, I thought we had to wait to complete the app to send off the package. Wish I realized sooner. But whats a few more days

@larnar1309 and @LaurenAndBrent Congratulations on your homes!!! how exciting! I can't wait for that day.

Congratulations on all recent approvals!!

yes it'll be the usual Skype date lol, I had a colleague that never thought of doing that when she was still living in the UK and her boyfriend in the Netherlands, she was highly surprised that that even was an option.

Wow! 

I guess we are all innovative? haha

Next month we'll be celebrating our first wedding anniversary but we won't be together since my wife has to work and I'm starting a new job on August 1st and I can't travel to go see her...so in a few weeks I'll be a mess as well lol. 

AWWWW!!! 1 year!! I'm sure the time is flying by. I'm sorry you guys can't celebrate together.. sounds like a skype/facetime date in the making. 

Good thing you guys will have MANNNYYY more years together to celebrate!!

If you are the petitioner, set yourself as the agent. That way, you both will receive all communication.
