It's our 2 year anniversary and we got DQ today!  Submitted February 3rd!

Sending everyone here healthy vibes and also hoping for the good health of all NVC and immigration officers! 

My I-130 was approved today! Do I get to join this hot chat with you guys? 😀

1 year marriage anniversary today!
 
Just venting, because I know you all understand the struggle 🤗.  I'm wishing we were already together, and able to celebrate this day together. It doesn't feel as special as it should, has anyone else thought that?? I'm ready to begin our next chapter and be able to celebrate special days together🙌
 
I do have to say, we are so very grateful to have moved along fairly quickly at the USCIS stage. I'm not going to complain about that, I see lots of people with similar pds still waiting, and being transferred all over the place. We're in week 5 of NVC review, so hopefully we'll hear something soon🤞

I finally have good news to share! 
 
We’ve been DQ’d! 
 
Second submission: 01/15/20
DQ: 03/12/20
 
Now I’m just hoping coronavirus travel restrictions don’t ruin anything...already if I go to Argentina to be with my husband before his interview I will be in quarantine for two weeks. Hope everyone stays healthy and safe and we all get DQs ASAP!!!!  

I just had something very similar happen to me.  Totally sucks to have to wait another 2 months.  Sorry it happened to you too.

Hey- update.  The messages did load eventually.  Apparently I added my mother as MY household member, not my father's household member.  I have to re-add her as my father's household member and resubmit her documents.  I find this very odd because I feel like I wouldn't have made such a silly mistake, but I have no way of verifying if it was truly my mistake because they already removed her from my CEAC account.  I called and asked if it would be another 9 weeks before they even look at my case again, and of course the woman said she couldn't make any promises and then gave me a long speech about not rushing through the submission and that it would be all worth it in the end 🙄.  I appreciate her partial empathy (lecturing?), but I feel like I've been punched in the stomach thinking of another possible 2+ month wait.  It's so unfair that ONE little thing that would take no time to review sits in their queue for two months.  

I'm so happy! Got DQ'ed today!
 
Submission date 1/15. First submission and I didn't submit form DS-5540.

Good luck to you moving forward!

Expidite Request Declined 😢
 
Reason... “To be fair to Others” like seriouly 

Thank god! Got my DQ email today from the NVC. 
 
Submitted 01/09/2020 - first and only submission. 
 
I did not submit my DS5540 Public Charge Questionnaire but it was advised by my Lawyer to fill this out and bring it to the interview. 

Guys this is a dumb question but am I DQed??  This is what I see

 
But I also have two messages.  Neither message has any text.

 
 

we were DQ Dec 13/2019
 
we just got an email march 5th giving us our interview date for April 24 for our cr1 visa!

Happy to report that I got DQ'd today! Awesome birthday gift, to boot!
 
Still some ways away from the goal, but it's great to have moved closer, at least.
 
For those waiting for DQs, stay upbeat. Your own DQs will come.

Maybe fewer people were submitting documents over the holidays.  I hope they keep up the pace!

Is anyone else worried about the corona virus impacting their cases?  My husband is from Japan and I'm worried they could close the embassies or put issuing new visas on hold if it continues to spread.  
 
Just one more thing about this process to keep me up at night!😩

Same for us - 1/8.  Any day now!

Yes, it feels good they are now reviewing January files...
 

So exciting to finally see NVC make a significant jump from one week to the next. As of today they're reviewing cases from Jan 4th 🙌🏻👏🏻
