    you still didn't get a date? How is your son doing?

    no, no date yet... :( we are decided to wait one month and than proceed with the surgery here in Russia, we are looking for a good doctor so far...

    our lawyer suggested to do a nonimmigrant visa for me to travel for surgery, but this means that I will need to leave as soon as the surgery is done and leave a toddler in recovery period with a full-time working father (and the baby knows him only by the internet) to finish the process here that can take up to 3-4 months....

     

    Good luck with your upcoming interview! Fingers crossed!

    Thank you for your good wishes.

    I'm really sorry that happend . I really do ! I hope you and your son stay strong and have a speedy interview.BTW , did you attach and send your son's medical evidences with the request? I have seen a couple of cases getting approved upon their second expedite request (i.e after getting denied the first time). It won't hurt if you try again. 

    Yes, we did attach the medical document we received in the hospital, it says that the baby needs a surgery within 1-2 months.... Also our son was born in the USA, so technically he is a US citizen... Thank you very much for your advice, we will try to do that.

    Sorry to hear this. I hope you get a date soon. Praying for your sons health and for yours. Hang in there, I know how tiring and long it is, God Willing you will all be in the US soon. I hope for your sons surgery to be easy and he recovers quickly in the US. (L)

    Thank you so much! The support means a lot! I am praying that you will get your date as soon as possible!

    Sorry , I meant April 6 (4/6/2017).

    Reason for expedite request is pregnancy and financial hardship.

    Thanks)) Congrats on your upcoming baby!

     

    We also tried to expedite the process: our 1,5 year old son needs a major surgery ASAP, here in Russia they cut open, and in the USA it is a minimum invasive surgery, BUT for Russian embassy it was not enough reason. So for now we decided to wait (under doctor's supervision) because with possible complications of the surgery we could not fit into 6 months visa window... All this drag me into severe depression, and every day checking my email and calling NVC just killing me.....

    Just called NVC with no waiting time :D, but received identical answers to your questions 1 and 3 :(

    They said that they still do scheduling for May, but she wasn't able to say how long the spots for May will be available...

    My CC date is 03/21...

    okay so i called thrice, EST

     

    the first call was answered by a rep named j**, he seemed so strict, EST 11:22PM  (total call duration  6 minutes -  waiting for 5 mins)

    so i asked if we have an interview date, he said "no", have you guys started scheduling for the month of May "i wouldn't know"

    are there slots for May "i still wouldn't know" we will email you once we have a schedule for you. thank you" then  busy tone.

     

    second call rep M***y (same questions) Total call duration 8 minutes EST 11:31PM

    "unfortunately, there is no schedule for interview yet"

    "i can not check that"

    "we have your contact details, we will email you once you have your schedule, good night"

     

    third call, EST 11:48PM (no waiting time)  was answered by a very polite rep, named J***  but his answer just broke my heart

    "no interview schedule yet. but you are in line to be scheduled soon"

    "we started scheduling for the month of May last week, and stopped scheduling this week"

    "am sorry to tell you, but there is no more slot for you for the month of May"

     

    (but i suppose it's for manila embassy) i hope is just mistaken :cry::clock::crying:

     

    but am still trying to be positive, everything happens for a reason, maybe, there are some stuffs i need to finish.

    I HOPE..

     

     

    anyway, am hoping you guys could hear great news and you guys will not be disheartened by the call i made.

     

    and my suggestion is to call few minutes before they close and few minutes after they opened 

    (checked my call logs, and noticed that there are no waiting time or very minimal minutes of waiting during those times)

    Question to those who got May Interview Date last week. Is your status already changed from "At NVC" to "In Transit"?

     

    My interview is end of May and since interview appointment (March 30) the status haven't changed. Others here say it takes only a day or two. Does this mean I should worry? ;) May be they transfer cases to local embassies more close to interview dates (my is almost 2 month from now).

    it looks to me that they do not bother to update the site :)

    I have seen here that people can see their CC, etc on the site. Mine looks like the case has been never in work, even though I have CC (confirmed by NVC email). So, I would just call them and ask if they send the documents...

    Some update to this. Called NVC, had a conversation with very helpful representative. He listened very seriously and agreed something could be definitely wrong with this and my suggestion this case is waiting in the wrong line could be a hit. So he escalated situation to the supervisor to check, now waiting for the reply...

    just saw this post: it answers my previous comment.

    I hope everything will resolve soon!

    The NVC is shocking! I was finally preparinng to wait for May interview but....

     

    3 weeks ago sent e-mail to asknvc about possible interview appointment. 3 weeks! And here is their answer:

     

    "Immigrant visa petition XXX is currently on a list of completed cases awaiting the availability of visa numbers. This petition will be eligible for an immigrant visa interview when a visa number is available per the Department of State's Visa Bulletin. The current edition of the visa bulletin is available on the following website:"

     

    Hey! What is your Priority Date?

    It could be a mistake, we also had a bullshit email from NVC saying that we need to submit some documentation (when we were expecting for CC), but when we called them - they apologized and said that everything is OK. Did you speak to NVC after this email?

     

    And congratulations to all who is done with interviews :energy:

    omg! at least it's in process, not just sitting there, hope you both get cc soon. my scan date is march 2nd so i'm expecting to wait for another 1 month before calling them again.... 

    they say so, but there is still no update on the ceac website... why it takes so much time???(((

    @claudia88031 hang in there, I saw here many people with later dates than mine with completed CCs, I feel like it is more depends on your luck than a scan date, priority date or any other dates :sleepy:

    I requested a supervisor review also! I will call them later :(  my hubby is so upset. Lucky you, he said another 2 weeks, from what they told me, it may take up to another 6 weeks, 

     

    hoping to get our CC's soon :( 

    i also emailed congressman for an assistance 

    http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/

     

    should you like to try, (although, some said they never get a hold of one, but some said it works usually you'll hear fron NVC after a couple of days)

     

    For me, it's better to try than sit and wait without doing anything :crying::crying:

    :clock::clock:

     

    It is really nice to do something rather just sit and wait! I hope it works and you will get your CC not later than the next week.

    Hopefully there will be no other snow storms and NVC finally start doing their jobs... I haven't seen my husband in person since the last year spring (it will be 12 months soon!!!), and my son thinks that the daddy is a person that lives in a computer/ phone...

    OK I assume the page you are referring to online is ceac.gov.state right?  It only shows that my next step is to submit the documents (even though I already have) and the instructions on how to submit them. There is no date that shows that that the documents were received even though a woman at NVC told me they were received on March 1.  There is a link to check NVC status but it takes me to a page that basically only has FAQ, nothing to check the actual status.  Will the ceac.gov.state page update with the status as the case moves forward?  Thanks for your help!

    https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx here you can see on the right bottom corner (under the case number) where your application is.

    Also I found another link where you can check how your case is moving forward: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

    Scan day - is the day when NVC received the whole package (confirmation email if you used email to send your documents).

    when is your scan date Kate? thanks for your support, this whole process is a challenge to my patience. hope you get your cc as soon as possible, i see that it normally takes 10-12 weeks, so you should be expecting your cc soon! good luck

    They confirmed that they received the package on January 6. The response was like we have to many applications at this time - so please wait 6 weeks (I think it is their standard answer). Now it has been 10 weeks and their response is the same... just frustrating...

    You may also email them to ask if they received your package. Good luck, Claudia!

    Fingers crossed for faster outcome for everybody here!
