Quick question guys. Does anyone in this forum know if the US embassy in Dakar, Senegal, allows petitioners to attend their spouse's interview? I was told by NVC that I would have to check with the embassy as some embassies do not allow petitioners to attend the interview. I have sent a couple of emails to the Dakar embassy but they have not responded. So I thought I would ask the question here to see I could get some answers. Thanks!

Thanks u 😄😄

Congratulations!!

Should one contact the embassy to confirm that they received your file from NVC? Per NVC, my case was sent to the embassy on 03/06/18 but my case status still says "In Transit." It is my understanding that case status should change to "Ready" when the embassy receives it. Please help

I got my CC on 04/12, but no email confirming it yet. Is that normal? How long does it takes to receive the email?

It takes about a week before you receive that email.

Depends on the embassy. They provide NVC with slots and NVC fills in the slots on a first come first serve basis. Cases completed before you (for that embassy) would be considered first.

So it's hard to give an exact timeline. Some have waited less than a month and other have waited a couple of months or more.

How long does it take for the embassy to receive your case after NVC sent it?

Does the status change from "In Transit" to something else?

Wooow, congratulations, im in Canada too, still waiting NVC received my cas 26 january, after they changed to 13 february 😭😭

I know the wait is long but just hang in there Mouna. Your time will soon be up.

Any May 2018 interviews scheduled this week? I heard they schedule interviews last week of the current month and first week of the next month.

However, an NVC agent told me on the phone that they schedule interviews during the first two weeks on the month, meaning May interviews will be scheduled during the first two weeks in April.

Hey guys, my ceac login shows AOS line completely disappeared not N/A. Is this CC?

Looks like a CC

Check the status here. If it says "AT NVC," then you have a CC. Call NVC to confirm.

Its good news when NVC tells you your case is currently under review right? I called last night and that is what the agent told me.

How long afterwards for a cc?

SD March 1. 

For me SD Feb 14, and CC Feb 27. Hang in there. It's taking them 2 to 3 weeks. I have also seen CCs that took 1 to 2 weeks.

Read it again, I said in line for "review" not "interview". Thanks. 

My apologies. I am so fixated on interview that I misread review as interview. Thanks!

My Scan date is today March 1st..

I called and spoke to 2 different agents today and they say I'm in line for review... now hoping for a speedy CC. 

You can't be in line for interview if your case is not complete. You have to have a CC first before they can put you in line for interview. You might want to call again to confirm.

Is it a most that my joint sponser will bring her three years three tax return after my wife defer hers or can my joint sponser bring her 2 years of tax or even 1years? Advise please!!

Most recent tax return is what is required. The other two are optional. I submitted my 2016 and 2015 tax transcripts.

Hi,

I got my NAO2 approved at Feb 16 and now waiting for the updates from NVC. Someone please tell me the processing steps at NVC. I got confused by seeing  the SC and CC dates? What is scanning date and what is cc?

You are steps away from SD and CC. NVC will send you guys an email giving you a case number and an invoice number. You will then be asked to complete three steps before sending in documents to NVC. Follow the instruction on the cover letter they will send you. When they receive the requested documents, they will upload that in their system. The date they do that will be your scan date (SD). After they finish reviewing your documents and consider your file complete, that is when we they consider your case complete, hence a CC date. From CC, your file will then be placed inline for interview at the embassy.

Hey, great news! I just called and was scheduled yesterday for April. Call right now to find out your appointment date.

your CC date?

In the other forum, one person said he called this morning and that they had scheduled for April

I read from somewhere that they work on scheduling interviews the last week of the month and the first week of the next month. So April interviews will be scheduled the last week of February and the first week of March. I guess we will find out soon.

Anyone  came across if NVc  scheduling interviews yet  for April ? 

I was told by NVC that they will be scheduling April interviews in the first two weeks of March.

So we can mail the financial and civil documents before we fill  out the ds260 and pay the visa fees??

 

Yes you can but they won't work on your case until your file is complete, meaning you would have to submit DS260 and pay the fees before you can get a CC

SD 02/14

CC 02/27

So it took less than two weeks between SD and CC. That's awesome. I hope you all get a CC soooooooon, and move onto the interview phase.

Hang in there people. The end is near. 

I sent documents by mail, not through upload.

Case approved!!

 

PD: 06/01/17

NOA2: 01/02/18 (215 days)

Center: Texas

No case status update online. Found out about it via letter in mail.

US Citizen

 

 

Approval notice states:

 

 

"The above petition has been approved.  As the petitioner requests, we have sent the petition to the US Dep.... NVC, 32 Rochester Ave, Portsmouth, NH.... The NVCprocesses approved immigrant visa petitions that need consular action.  It also determines which consular post is the appropriate consulate to complete the visa processing.  The NVC will then forward the approved petition to that consulate.

 

The NVC will contact the beneficiary of this petition with further information about immigrant visa processing steps.

 

You should allow a minimum of 30 days for the US Department of State processing before contacting the NVC...."

 

 

 

 

Question: Does this mean the petition is now sent to NVC? Or is this standard reply? I am afraid Texas takes a long time to send petition to NVC. Does anyone know ways to expedite this process?

Sometimes USCIS don't send it right away. Mine was approved 12/14/17 and on 12/21/17 they updated my case status with the below message.

NVC confirmed receiving it on 12/28/17 after I called them. 

Case Was Sent To The Department of State

On December 21, 2017, we sent your case, Receipt Number YSCxxxxxxxxx, to the Department of State for visa processing. You can find general information on Consular Processing by visiting our website at www.uscis.gov . The website will provide information on what to do next, who to contact, and how to inform us of any changes in your situation or address.

We got approved 12/14/17. I just received the mail today.

Merry Christmas to all you Junies. I pray that you all get a nice X-Mas gift like us.
