"Dear Sir or Madam:

We are reviewing your request for expedited processing of this immigrant visa petition. We will notify you with the results when the review is complete.

Please note that only the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia has the ability to approve or deny expedite requests."

i hope this is a good sign 😅

Last week I email the embassy and here's what they said:

 

 

I wonder how and where they will publicize this... Does anyone know if it has been done yet?

How long does it take to get email from embassy after receiving NVC expedite approval?

I've seen quite a few people waiting about 2 weeks for this. We just submitted an expedite request yesterday ourselves. I hope we both get acceptance emails soon!

We have been waiting since our DQ on August 26th. The embassy in Indonesia is only accepting expedites at this time it seems. I'm considering submitting one here this next week. Can anyone tell me if it would be a bad thing to do? Possibly slow down our process if it were to be denied or is something that wouldn't hurt to try?

I haven't officially DQ'd but have submitted all my docs for NVC on 28th August and requested an expedite then which has been approved today!

 

Awaiting contact from the embassy now to schedule an interview. 🤞

 

Good luck to everyone waiting!

It's not required right now.

What was your reason for expedite? I am around the same time frame as you and my wife is worried because she said her embassy is only accepting expedites right now.

Hello, we were DQed on 8/25/2020

Waiting for our next step now. Anyone dealing with Indonesian embassy? I hope everything goes well 🙏

DQ on 8/25/2020

I've read that the average wait time is 60 days until they approve and then another 30 days until the interview is scheduled. Does anyone have any recent experience with this and the time frames? We are going through the embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia

Finally submitted all our paperwork to NVC today, we got this message. I imagine it is just a generic message, can anyone confirm that?

So I was approved by USCIS on May 8th and they still dont' have my case number at the NVC yet, They said they received the case on June 30th from USCIS but something is wrong. They said it's on "administrative hold" as they don't know where the problem is. Anybody else have this issue? It's beyond frustrating. 

We were approved on May 15th, NVC received our file on June 30th. We finally got our email with NVC case number yesterday and paid the fees. I imagine you will be getting a email any day now. A call once a week is enough imo. I actually only called them 3 times during the whole ordeal.

Did you try calling instead of messaging?

I called NVC three times now, the first two told me to call back after the 45 days the third is how I got the email address for them to investigate further.

We got our approval on May 15th, I've messaged both USCIS and NVC. USCIS says it was sent, NVC gave me a different email to use for them to look into it further now that it is past 45 days.

On this website, what does ur case status day? https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do Usually if it's send, there it's mentioned file was sent to NVC on such and such date. 

I had the same deal, they can't do anything until the 45 day mark is passed, after which I will have to email acceptance letter to some email. Sending that email now would be futile too because it's within 45 days timeframe. This is just depressing, for all we know USCIS could've forgot check a box or sth during transfer and we are paying for their mistake. Can't do anything but wait couple weeks more. 

This is what it says on USCIS website

It takes Up to 6 weeks after NVC receive your file to assign you case number. But here is the sketch - USCIS has up to 3 months to actually send your file after approval! They usually send it pretty quickly though. 
To know when they send it - on your app it will show “sent to department of state” or your can call USCIS and talk to tier 2 officer and ask him is the case sent to NVC or not and if yes when was it sent

So I called NVC because I couldn't get to a human calling USCIS. NVC told me to call back in a few days after the 45 day mark and they can help me then. I got the I-797 form and it states that USCIS sent my form to NVC but I don't see anything on USCIS website saying anything about it being sent, it just says I was approved and case is closed.

Was your case sent from uscis or not yet? 

How would I know this? We got a letter from USCIS saying we are approved and to wait for email from NVC that should take no more than 45 days.

Oh this is unfortunate news. We got our NOA2 May 15, no response from NVC yet. Sent an email yesterday, maybe I will try to call too.

Having an IOE receipt means it can be processed in any SC even though the notice of receipt came from Nebraska? 

I hope so because Nebraska is so slow  My PD is october 2019.

 

And how do you guys know your case has been transfered?

 

Thanks a lot and have a nice day.

I have this same question. Our PD January 28th 2020. IOE number but letter from Nebraska. Haven't heard anything since.

UPDATE:

Following up from last week's update ... current statistics are:

17.40% in Jan.
37.20% in Feb.
51.40% in Mar.
92.60% in Apr.
95.50% in May.
75.90% in Jun.

* May has the highest of cases received, even more than June, and hence the highest yield.

* March has the highest processing, followed by Feb and Jan. Although it has been noticed that the processing in Jan and Feb are in decline, however, March is steadily processing.

* I-129F denials seem to be associated with I-130 approvals thus far.

* The overall rate at which cases are being processed per day has noticeably increased, although not by a lot, but should also help get rid of high yields in months like March, May, and June.

* I except processing for Jan and Feb to quickly finish within the next 1-3 months max.

* I also except the recent transfers to be quickly processed.

Just curious if these statistics are Nebraska or all the centers combined?

Also, thank you 😁

Hello everyone, my wife and I sent out i-130 out on January 20th 2020 and received our NOA1 on January 28th. PD Jan 23rd. Here's to hoping Nebraska hires some more people to more quickly process all our paperwork 😁
