NVC after receiving documents = 2.5 to 3 months.
Then to receive an interview = 1-2 months.
So plan 4-5 months after they received your documents that you're going to submit next week.
 
Why so long? Because there are a lot of people ahead of you. You have to be patient and wait.

Plan on 9-11 weeks for case to be completed at NVC.

they're just lazy sometimes. we had the same issue. lawyer said we should get ssn automatically but turned out no ssn was scheduled. I went into the office and filled up a form. waiting to receive ssn now.

Hello everyone!
 
My scan date was June 2nd.
CC was August 10
**received a "checklist" but the email said to take the document when my husband has his visa interview.
 
very excited! 
Just waiting on our appointment letter! 

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS!! I just checked our case and the status changed to at NVC!!!! I'm trying to get a mani/pedi and I can't stop crying at the nail salon!!!!!! I'm so so happy!!!!

Went to the Social Security Administration office yesterday almost 3 weeks after POE. They said that a social security number for my husband was never applied. Rechecked the DS-260 form on CEAC and yes I did check the box where it asks if we want to apply. Some people are telling me that this could've happened because our case was expedited and sent directly to the consulate hence NVC never got to complete the case and apply for a SSN.
Anyhow we applied for it at the Social security office and we are hoping to get it in two weeks now.
 

@goobies  Yes go ahead and schedule your interview. Print out the interview confirmation page and that should suffice for you to go to the interview and  to get your medical done. You don't have to wait for your P4 letter. Make sure you bring originals of all your civil documents and copies of financial documents to the interview. I am sorry you are going through this.

Medical exam done

Fill out a new affidavit of support sign it and bring it with you to the interview. Just in case they ask for it.

It can take anywhere from a month to three months to get an interview depending on busy the embassy is. Check out the spreadsheet created by @JBMG and you can get an idea of how longs its taken to schedule interviews at the Ukraine Embassy in the past.

My husband still hasn't received his Social security card. His POE was on 07/25. Should we go to the social security office and apply?

Today my husband got his passport, visa and the package! And he is flying home in 9 days!!! 💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻😍😊

Guess I'll join up to this thread now. After much back and forth between the NVC, a Senator, a lawyer, and the US Consulate in New Zealand, I've been expedited. Now awaiting the interview letter.

Yep this means that your case is complete and you will be in line to be scheduled for an interview. You might need a joint sponsor to be able to meet the poverty guidelines but you don't have to send the AOS to NVC now you just have to take it along to the interview.

Today is week #7 and I called this morning for an update and nothing yet. I have a feeling it my heart it will be next week or the week after. (If heart feelings count for anything lol)

Not a problem. I emailed my embassy about that. It's because on the passport, the first and last name are not separated. My passport only has full name, no first name or last name. They'll update the visa according to the info updated on DS260.

Congratulations @chamma!!!!!

Yep, on top, your cover sheet with barcode. Yes, leave others blank. A short letter explaining why sending in the new document. (If you received a checklist for missing docs, you would include that as well). Write your case number on the upper right hand corner of each document (page) you send in. :-)
 
Regarding, aos, if NVC doesn't require you to bring an updated version to your interview, then you should be ok. people bring it as back up. Heck, my advice is to bring an updated version as a copy of the original is pointless as they should have it already. I suggest  back up joint sponsors for those using assets to qualify or if their sponsor's income is just meeting the requirements. You'll receive a list of documents that you will need to bring. :-) 
 
Good luck.
