Speaking for myself and my wife, this process was about 15 minutes at the Juarez/El Paso office. Might be shorter or longer depending on the location. 

I’m talking about at the airport as she comes through immigration for the first time

My wife will be entering for the first time in a few days.  When she hands her X-rays and sealed packet to the immigration officer....will this be a long process?? I will be waiting for her outside and I’m trying to get a timeframe. Or is it a quick check by the officer and then a validation stamp and she’s on her way??

Hi thanks!!! We have our interview on October 23. Am I allowed to attend the interview with my wife? Good luck all

Congrats to you! All the best with your interview.

 

My mailed documents were received on August 31st. If it's not too much to ask can you please post a pic of what your CEAC looks like when you log in? I am only seeing info on pivot cases nothing for snail mail cases. Even though my I got confirmation by phone that my package was received CEAC is asking me to submit docs. I will really appreciate your response. 

Thanks

Hi. It just says “at NVC” when I check visa status. But I have an interview date for October 23. Got the email on August 31

How long is it taking for case completes?? We just sent our packets in and they said they received them on August 23. The lady said give the, 3 weeks to review!! Is it taking them all 3 weeks? Will we get an email? Text? Both?? Any info is much appreciated!! Thanks everyone 

I’m filling out the I-864ez affidavit of support and in item number 6 (USCIS ONLINE ACCOUNT NUMBER ) is this my current uscis number? Or if my wife previously had a uscis number from another time??

Today is the 6th day the site has been down. No new applications can be started, no fees can be paid, and the reps can not access any information entered at CEAC previously. When I call to ask about this problem, I am told "hopefully we will get some tech support soon". Sure.

I wouldn’t be surprised if trump was behind this

Is there another site where I can start filling out paperwork 

Am I doing something wrong?? Is the freaking ceac site still down??

Has anyone called about the ceac site still being down?? Anyone have any info? Also, I just got my id number and case number on Friday, but no welcome email.....I was just gonna go on and fill myself....when should I receive my welcome email??

Ceac still down

Option 2 = NON-PIVOT.

Option 5 = PIVOT

I chose number 2 because I didn’t have any case or I’d number...so I chose that and they gave me the numbers.......

They would tell you if you were electronic or Pivot case or not.  The lady you talked to that gave you your case number, was it on option 5?

No...I chose option 2 to speak with agent

Just now, CO_Tonya said:

I got the email, but the CEAC system is down for maintenance at the moment...so I am patiently waiting for it to come back up to review the next steps.  Are you Pivot/electronic?

Not sure...I literally just talked to the lady 5 minutes ago and she gave me the numbers.....then she just said to wait for the email to do next steps......can you give me the link for the website to log in?? I know it’s down...but when it comes back up I’d like to get moving. How do I know if I’m a pivot?

After 10 long weeks, and several supervisor conversations, I have received my case and invoice number!  Finally making some progress

 

I did as well........so they told me to wait for an email for the next steps......what about you??

Finally got my case and ID numbers!!!! She said wait for the email to proceed with the next steps......is there something I could do to be pro active while waiting?? Do I have to wait, or could I start with a link someone can provide?? Excited

Hi there....it’ll be 8 weeks tomorrow that the nvc received my case...I called today, and they said no case number yet, and that I need to wait 1 day after 8 weeks and call again and if no case number, they will escalate it to supervisor........any advice?? Opinion?? What can I expect? Thanks

So after your green card is issued...is ok to Tavel back and forth from Usa to your home country?? I work for the airlines and my wife will still be going back and forth to visit family often....

So my case was sent to the DOS on May 16, and I called today and they said they received it on May22nd. So I never got an email, but she said to now allow up to 8 weeks for a case number. What is the average time people are waiting?  And once I get the case number, do thing go more quickly??? Just wondering if September is a realistic time frame where my wife will have her green card? Thanks!! Love this group

Hi. On May 16 my case was sent to the DOS. I’ve called a few times and nothing yet. Someone said theirs got received 3 business days later. When should I expect the, to receive mine? And how often should I call? Thanks everyone

The petitioner also should start preparing the Affidavit of Support packet.

Hi. You e been so helpful and I’m so appreciative!! I just looked for the information about the affidavit of support packet and what I (the petitioner) should include. Is there a link to that? Thanks again.

Look it up here:

 

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/collect-and-submit-forms-and-documents-to-the-nvc/step-5-collect-supporting-documents.html

Thanks so much.  Are we able to start gathering these things this early? I mean, does it matter when we get these translations and reports? The NVC won’t say anything about the dates that are posted when we go these? Hope that makes sense

So as I wait for them to receive my letter from USCIS (they mai,ed it on May 16) is there anything my wife can be doing to be proactive?? Getting police records, the. Getting them translated etc???? Any help would be greatly appreciated 

thank you
