Hi
Does anyone know how long it will take to schedule an interview after documentarily qualified (on 24th september 2019). Category is F2A and priority date is current.interview location mumbai.
I think you are looking at around a 5 month wait. They did a lot of F2A for two months in July/August and nothing with CR1/IR1, so wow they are working on those cases.

Good morning from Europe, fellow Visa Journey members.
Has anyone ever experienced this long shut down/ maintenance work of the CEAC website? Or heard of this type of system crash before? I just have no idea how long this can continue, as all of you, of course. I am just very concerned that there will now be more obstacles along the way, more time to endure in this process. I was literally going to upload all documents on the same day the system crashed. So sad. I have already resigned from my job (my last day is December 31), and cancelled my lease for my apartment for the same day as my last day of work. I was expecting to get an interview in January by the latest. My priority date is December 24. Do you think this crash will make the process even longer for me and for the rest of you?
Good luck to all of us!
No one knows how long it will be done, but logically everyone will start uploading at once when it comes back online. So yeah I’m sure it’s going to take a while for them to review docs. Everything is unpredictable with this process I’m afraid.

It takes 2-3 business days to clear fees and you have to do that first.

Thanks. But your last comment was so unnecessary. I never indicated that I was not planning to do so. In fact if you read my post, I am simply concerned about the unknown at the port of entry and whether this ruling even applies to IR-5 visa holders.
I didn’t comment on a personal note. You asked for feedback about the ruling so I made a general statement. I read your comment as a request for feedback In general. Maybe you should clarify what you are seeking in responses. My intention was not to be critical of your situation. Simply a general statement.

Hi VJ members - Although this is not a question related to Mumbai consulate (original intent of this thread), since many of you here have been supportive to my (parents) immigration journey and may have similar question, I am x-posting my question regarding immigration & Trump's new ruling on healthcare insurance below. Any feedback you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I will be adding my husband within 30 days arrival and had my company write a letter indicating the process and costs that I will pay. I do feel that the petitioner should be responsible for those they bring into the country. As an immigrant, citizen, and USA tax payer..I do not want to pay for others. It’s expensive to live in the USA and I have worked hard and never used public benefits. Don’t sponsor if you can’t support those you petition. 🙏🏻

How can your father guarantee you and your husband won't be a public charge if he himself is? 🤨
You need another joint sponsor. You are literally setting yourself up for failure. Take Jaret&Rachael's advice.
And file taxes. It's an obligation you have as an USC.
I agree..getting this far wishing on a prayer is not going to get you approved. Please try to slow down and find a sponsor that can support you in this process. It is better to do the research now and than to add months later. good luck Saci Singh

Hi everyone!
Original submission 8/20/2019
We got reviewed last night 9/25/2019
2 rejections:
-one for tax return and w2 to be in separate file (kind of expected this, but learned about it too late);
-Canada police cert was wrong.. we missed the whole "purpose should now be under privacy Act instead of visa processing border crossing)
Just giving everyone a heads up!
Will update timeline once we get the new police cert
Best of luck to all!
I think maybe your Police Report is just a requirement for Canada as other countries do not have that option for a PCC. Only Visa related purposes.

This is false.
Plus the old form was removed months ago, so anyone at NVC process now will be using the new form. The government website also states that the changes will apply to those starting with USCIS. Hence folks are being urged to submit I-130 before deadline.

Hi everyone!
My wife and I have a few questions about the Affidavit of support forms and what requirements apply to us.My wife has recently got a new full time job, but she is officially classified as a temporary part-time employee with a contract being renewed periodically which is weird and might complicate this matter. She was concerned that the temporary status could convey that there is no intention to maintain her employment. On the other hand, we believe that she will be satisfying the minimum income requirement for sponsors ($21,137?) now. However, is this still applicable to us given that my wife has been a student and part-time worker during the last three years until now, falling below poverty level during this time? Would this matter lead to complications such as having to add a joint sponsor?I have read that some documents, apart from tax transcripts and pay stubs, that could help are letters of employment and a cover letter. Her letter of employment doesn't include annual salary though. Also, the contract she signed does not include all the classes she teaches at the university. There is a risk that those will not get updated during the fall. Thus, we will not know the new actual salary until the system updates and my wife is provided with her first check by the end of this month.Considering this information, do you think a cover letter would help, explaining her income shift, that she was a student restricted by the university for work and that she is now in her career and can support us from now on? I guess she would only be able to provide pay stubs starting this month, in order to show that she is currently meeting the income requirement. What about the past three years - do we need to provide tax transcripts and pay stubs for this time even though they are insufficient in terms of the income requirements? My wife was telling me how she can prove that she has been employed by the university since 2014, which she thought perhaps could be a sign of "stability" despite the income gap. What are some things we could do in this situation? More specifically, what documents do you think we could provide, and will we need a joint sponsor?Sorry for all these complicated questions!Good luck to all of us!!Upon first read of your situation I am not seeing a clear history of a full time job with the same company, showing well over the threshold of income. Just my personal opinion, but if this was my situation I would get a sponsor..I wouldn’t take any chances. 🤷♀️

Do you have the link to edit the spreadsheet? I forgot how to do it.
You don’t need to do the spreadsheet. Click on the VJ link below and complete your timeline. This adds to the VJ site statistics.

Sorry for confusion. I will add in the spreadsheet now.
Thank you much appreciated as I’m also wondering about what’s going on and the timelines really contribute to the big picture of statistics!

Geez It’s for spousal visa and timeline takes long to fill out but I did list my important details
Ok like 1 minute to fill out your timelines. How about being a team player Most VJ users look to the timeline for statistics. It gives the big picture. Seems you are ok for asking and getting what you want, but no consideration for contributing. This is an arduous process and it’s about give and take.

All your quote above says is that the public charge rule "won’t penalize applicants for their use of such benefits prior to the Effective Date of the rule". It does not talk about what guidelines and procedures NVC and COs will be using post 10/15, if the rule isn't blocked at courts.
Here you go then read this instead:

What I've heard, which is pretty scary, is they're may be dragging their feet (orders from above) so that October 15th kicks in and they can review our cases under the new "public charge" rule! Some lawyers are saying that regardless of when you first file your petition, re-submission or not, if you case is still at NVC (not yet approved) come Oct 15th we're all going under the knife! I hope that's NOT true, but it's pretty scary stuff! It's called "changing the rules in the middle of the game". Some Dem. Senators, bless their heart, are trying to block the stupid rule, but it's all still up in the air!
This will not affect us as it is a process that takes many months to enact if it is passed.
What happens next?
It’s very important to understand that, despite the headlines you may read, the DHS public charge rule has not gone into effect. The traditional status-quo policy will remain in effect until the “effective date” occurs—either on the scheduled date of Oct. 15, 2019 or later if the courts block the rule.
This is the procedure that federal agencies like DHS must follow when issuing a new regulation:
(1) Proposed rule: DHS publishes a “proposed” or “draft” rule in the Federal Register (officially known as a “Notice of Proposed Rulemaking”). This document sets forth the specific changes that DHS wants to make to the Code of Federal Regulations, along with a lengthy legal and economic justification. Read the proposed rule here.
(2) Public comment period: For the next 60 days, the proposed rule is open for public comments. This means that anyone is allowed to send DHS their own feedback about the public charge rule, including arguments for keeping the status quo or modifying the regulatory text.
(3) Internal deliberations: For the next several months, DHS reads through all of the public comments, prepares a response to each substantive concern, and possibly makes changes to its regulatory plan and economic impact analysis. This process typically takes a long time — six months would be very fast in federal agency terms, and well over a year is not uncommon.
(4) Final rule: DHS publishes a “final” rule in the Federal Register. This document sets forth the final changes that DHS will make to the Code of Federal Regulations. DHS may decide to change course from its initial proposed rule, or to adopt the exact same language as before. Either way, DHS must provide a detailed justification for why it chose to either follow or ignore the public comments it received. Read the final rule here. The final rule will have an “Effective Date,” occurring 60 days later, at which point the rule becomes law — assuming that it is not blocked by a judge in a federal lawsuit.
What does this mean for me?
Even if the new rule is finally enacted, expanding the number of government benefits that trigger a denial on public-charge grounds, it won’t penalize applicants for their use of such benefits prior to the Effective Date of the rule.
Here’s the bottom line: If you are contemplating a green card application or a naturalization application, you’re almost certainly better off if you get it filed right away, as far in advance of these new changes as possible.

oh yes not on timeline but on thread
Right..so it doesn't add to the statistics. This is where most of us go to track info as it is the most convenient and accurate way to get the big picture on this arduous journey.
