@joanne84 Hi! I just read this thread, can I ask if you already got your interview schedule? how long did it take? Got mine Dq'd June 8.. Thanks! 

The last email was in Jan 31 for documentarily qualified and to wait for the schedule. Unfortunately that was the last email we got. 😭

NVC has reviewed my documents and my case is now complete at NVC (status says incomplete for household members but I think I can just bring those documents to the interview) and I'm just waiting for interview. Submitted September 3rd and feedback received on October 18th. I hope you guys were able to submit your required documents before CEAC went down for maintenance. Hoping for positive results for you as well.

Hi po did u get ur Visa already? Just really curious maybe you enlighten me. How long after the email na "documentarily qualified" did you get the schedule for interview? I got the documetarily qualified email last January 29.

Based on your PD and it becoming current, I'm guessing you're from the Philippines too so we're on the same boat.

 

Just to set your expectations about Christmas, I'm expecting it would take at least 2 to 2.5 months before I can get my visa (assuming there aren't any issues along the way) after I submitted the documents. I computed it due to the following:

- After submission of documents, NVC will take at least 5 to 6 weeks to process them (as of Sep 3, they are processing documents submitted on July 24)

- Assuming you get Case Complete after 5 weeks, it will be at least a month until your interview date (based on the Case Complete to Interview Spreadsheet I found somewhere in the forums)

 

I also have to add an additional month for my notice period at work (not resigning until I have visa in hand).

 

Best case scenario, the earliest I can possibly leave then is late November/early December. I'm already preparing just in case I can't leave by Christmas.

Hi! I received the first email today from NVC. We paid the fees right away. This is becoming real now.

My PD was current in August 2019. I got the NVC Welcome Letter at the end of August via email. I don't think I'm getting a letter via post anymore.

Ohh okay so we'll wait for it anytime soon. I'm just excited to be able to start the process Haven't spent xmas with my family for 11 years.

we haven't received anything yet. If we werre able to wait 10 years I guess we can wait a few months more. 😁

Hi everyone. I'm new on this forum. I'm just really curious.. So our priority date (12jan2009) will be current in September. How long til we get letters from the embassy? What is usually the wait time from here onwards? will it take years? thanks.
