Our case, fees, and submitted files have all been approved as of May 21, 2020

Now we are waiting for consulates and embassies to open back up for face to face interviews. 

How is everyone else doing

Thank you so much for your response. I did email them yesterday,  but you know the also take so long to reply so I’m going to give them a call tomorrow. It worries me that it’s now been 9 days. I don’t see why it would take this long..

Also thank you for the wishes. Wish you all the best as well! I’ll keep you posted!

Any update on your payment processing? Has it been accepted?

Hi @MrsCTT,

Thank you for your update and sharing your good news. I am also on that same boat as you and just finished paying both the AOS & IV fees on 1/27. However, it’s been longer than the time frame of 2-3 days that NVC gives and the fees have not been processed. I’m sure everyone’s case is different depending on banks and such,. But could you tell me how long it took for your fees to clear? I greatly appreciate it!

First good luck with everything!

secondly, our fees processed at the end of 72 business hours (Saturday and Sunday I didn’t count since those are not working days). I’m now working on the Affidavit of Support and gathering all necessary accommodating files/files to submit. 
 

is there a way you can email or ask them why it’s taking so long? You should’ve gotten access by now to submit your AoS ......

Our Case was approved and sent to NVC NH, June 19, 2019. Our Priority date is March 2019, and it’s now Jan 2020and we have yet to hear back. Last correspondence with the NVC email was November 12, 2019 and they said that our us is transfer to NVC hadn’t been completed yet. I just emailed the NVC again this morning..... such a long process. My friend went through this and said NVC processed their application after a few weeks. It’s been well over 6 months for us and still nothing. I’m getting anxious..... 

***UPDATE!*** We received our case number from NVC on Wed, 22 Jan 2020!
logged into the dead.state.gov site and Paid fees for Affidavit of Support and waiting for the payment to go through so we can send in the affidavits. Moving along! Finally!

I’ve never been so stressed out in my life. This process is definitely one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to deal with. I really hope I get something in the mail soon. Seems like a lot  of Nebraska and Potomac files have been getting Second letters . I don’t know why Texas center is so slow . I also did the email notification paperwork when I filed for me and my husband but nothing thru there not even the Receipt letter that we received in the mail was sent there . Strange thing 

I emailed about our receipt letter, because it had been about 3 months and we still hadn’t received it. They emailed me with the receipt letter as well as remailed through the mail. I ended up receiving the original next day, and our approval code came 2 months after that. Hang in there and good luck

Same situation here. Got IOE receipt and was approved on April .Error everytime i checked and no nvc case number still. Anybody has received nvc case number of IOE filing.?.

We received our letter of confirmation and application approval, that had an Online access code to login to our online profile. Once I did that it stated we should receive our NVC letter in a month. That was 3 weeks ago. Still waiting. If we don’t receive our NVC letter by mail in 30 days we are asked to email the NVC with receipt number for next steps. 

We just received our receipt IOE receipt number but nothing else. It’s taken a month and half to just receive this letter. Does this mean the other letter will come in a few days? From what I gather everyone on this thread received the ELIS and IOE days apart not same day.... so I should keep an eye out for ELIS letter?

I tried online tracking too but it says invalid. This has been very helpful so thank you. And good luck to everyone in the process.

p.s. I hope what you say is true and online processing is faster!

Has anyone sent payment for an I130 Petition for Alien Relative form specifically from Turkey (or any other overseas country) ?

i have tried emailing the Consolate (Istanbul and Ankara) and called today, only to have them say “send an emai...” click. Hung up on me.

so frustrating. And still no closer to an actual answer ....PLEASE HELP
