Hey can you give slight info of your timeline was your i130 approved on feb ?

No, I did the i129f petition. (Fiance visa). Not the i130.

Hey, Elix! My interview will be at the Dominican Republic embassy as well. I'm still waiting for my case number, just wondering starting what date can you schedule the interview? Is it a month delay or more? Thank you! 

Hey, there is opening in all of April. March is basically completely booked. 

Just now, SanRob said:

Can't we just fill out the DS-160 and schedule the interview whenever it says ready? Do we have to wait for them to email us?

Every embassy is different. I did the DS-160 and scheduled the interview. But in order for my fiancé to do his medical we need the NVC letter. 😩😩

Have anyone of you been on “Ready” in the embassy, but yet not received the email from the NVC? 

My case says ready, but I have yet received the email from NVC. I’m getting so frustrated at this point.

Good luck to us ... i scheduled my interview appointment last week of March 😊

Hey, have a question for you. Did you receive email from NVC once your case said in transit or after it said Ready?

Mine took exactly one week. Now hoping on monday it will be READY at the embassy

Hey, I have a question. Did they send you an email from the NVC saying they sent to the the embassy once it said in transit?

The big question now.. wen I get the Case No.  in the NVC what should I do? I’m from Dominican Republic..

 

I read something for the interviews here in my country i don’t need the affidavit support form I-134, is that true? 

 

What should I do before the package arrive the NVC in my country to gains time? 

 

You can start doing your DS-160. When you get your case number you can submit it. Also start gathering all your documents for the interview. 

With your case number you can track the case and once it says in transit the NVC will send you an email. With that email, now you can book your VAC and your interview. And you also can go to your medical. ( medical need to be done atleast a week or 8 days prior to Interview) (or 5-6 business days). Then you can do your VAC and interview.

ive heard that they don’t ask for it. But it’s better to have just in case. You never know. I will be bringing it just in case.

Congrats! And USCIS told you it wasn't shipped yet, right?

Yes, that’s correct. The next day it was at NVC. Now just waiting for them to send it to my embassy😩

1 minute ago, LarisaXoX said:

Did you ask why and when it will be shipped? I read on this thread I think that USCIS told someone the same thing and NVC got their case the next day.

That was me, I called USCIS and the next day the case was at NVC. 

I got my case number on Tuesday and still says at NVC. I guess it’s because it was closed yesterday. Hope it leaves tonight.😩😩

Seriously They opened late then. I called and it said it was closer earlier 😩 

Thank God they opened!!! 🎉

Just now, LarisaXoX said:

Called USCIS to see if my case was sent to NVC since NVC is closed today and was just told it takes a minimum of 30 days. Sometimes more but to wait until it's been 30 days and to call back. Ugh.

So NVC is closed today?? 😩😩😩

Yep! totally agree.. my fiance tried to call the first time around 3pm and was put on hold for more than 15 minutes...  after 6-7pm is the best time to call, at least for my experience. 

 

How many days of waiting was it to get the NVC number?

 

 

It was 2 business days. 

My case was received by NVC Friday March 2nd. And I got my case number today.

Thank you  Initially she told me that it would take 2 weeks to provide case number.. then I asked her so I should call 2 weeks from now.. She was very nice and told me "No, you can call by the end of the week or early next week" 

 

I think calling everyday wouldn't hurt... if they say they haven't received it yet just say thank you then call the following day. 

 

 

Yes, and if you call early, you can also call after 7pm eastern time. I got my case number today. This afternoon I called around 12 and they told me they didn’t have my case number and have me the 2 weeks shenanigans. I, called again around 7:30pm and they had my case number already. That being said, if you only want to call once a day, it’s best to call after 7, when all the mail is put into the system. 

Finally, got my case number!!!!🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I'm fed up of hearing "it can take up to six weeks for us to receive the case from USCIS". Why does it take *six weeks* to send a form that's been sitting in a pile for six months already?!

I, myself felt frustrated, Noa2 feb 15 and it was March first. I called USCIS and spoke to a tier 2  and they told me they had not sent the file yet. The next day I called NVC and the file was there. So idk if it was just luck or what. But the next day they recieved my file.

unfortunately, I still have no case number. Will be calling later on tonight to see if finally they have my case #. 😩🤞🏻🤞🏻

on paper waiting for 14 days isn't so long after waiting for 186, but it feels like eternity!!!!!! today marks 200 days since applying.

Tell me about it. I still have no case number from the NVC! So annoyed. 😩😩🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ 

Ill call at the end of the day again; and Check if they have it. 🤞🏻🙏🏻

Still dont have a number from NVC😞

Did it get to the NVC? 

If not, call USCIS and talk to a tier 2. 

I called last Thursday and the next day (Friday) they received my case.

idk, if that made a difference, but you can try and maybe it can work. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Did you call?

I did call this afternoon. And they told me they received it. 

Finally NVC received my case!!!! So happy now waiting on my case number! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

They haven't even sent it yet?! What are they waiting for   That makes me so angry. I hope they send it tomorrow since you called! Maybe I'll call tomorrow and get the same info that they haven't even shipped our application yet. Seems NVC is slowing down again at the moment compared to even a few weeks ago...

Yes! This is exactly what it seems like. So annoying at this point. They need to get it together. I can’t take that 6 week nonsense again. I’ve seen 2/6, 2/12, 2/13 being processed at NVC. So I’m hoping next week is my week. 😩 

It really is frustrating to think things have slowed down. But all I can do it hope and pray that it doesn’t take much longer.

I'm tired of hearing the NVC waiting music and I've only been waiting 9 days. Calling everyday 🙄 Seems like there haven't been many cases moving along recently judging from the NVC tracker spreadsheet?

Tell me about it 😩 I have 15 days and called USCIS and they told me they haven’t even send it to the NVC. 😩😩 I’m so annoyed! They love giving that damn 6 week bull #######!!

That’s because the embassy in DR is off today. Remember today is dominican Independence Day 🇩🇴 Tomorrow will be your day! You’ll see! 😃😊

Hello! You're so right. We're really close now, the wait is nothing. I hope you receive your case number this week!!

 

The short wait is actually nice because it's a bit surreal that my fiance will be coming soon. It's like all we knew was waiting for months on end and now I'm in a mad rush to prepare our living space!! I can't believe he'll probably be here this time next month 😵 Dream come true.

Tell me about it! I can’t believe it is all happening. I’m dying to get that case number, and move along. Around this time next month my fiancé should also be here. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I hope the VOH is as quick as they say for my embassy. Things should start getting better for us all. ❤️🤞🏻😊

Called NVC for the first time day and they didn't have my case yet. My case was approved 6 days ago so it might be a pit premature, but on the NVC case tracker spreadsheet some get approved in less than 10 days?! I'll keep trying every other day.

 

I have an issue with my case where my approval says Oslo embassy, but the Oslo embassy doesn't process K1 visas. Really hoping NVC forwards our case to the Stockholm embassy instead

Hey! And we met again on here. My case has yet to get to NVC. Today is 11 days. Hopefully this week. It’s looking like 2 weeks is now the new average. So hopefully you also hear something. 🤞🏻 This wait is not as bad as what we just encountered. Good Luck! 🙏🏻 NVC always reply with 6 weeks wait and 2 weeks for case number! I wish they would quit telling us that. 😩
