Congrats! My DQed yesterday 6/7. Did you guys get your interview booked with the Peruvian embassy yet? I can't wait to know when mine will take place! 

 

 

No, we haven’t received the interview appointment date yet. Based on another user going through Lima, I’m expecting the interview letter around a month after DQ, and an interview date around two months after that. So, about 3 months after DQ. That’s the only estimate I have.

Can you help me sthg. I sent requested document through public inquiry instead of adding to sponsor documents section on Ceac, do you think its OK or should I add it on Ceac? 

You should add it on ceac if possible. The public inquiry seems pretty useless in my experience.

As of today, my NVC CEAC portal now is showing Paid again on both fees. So bizarre.

It’s back to normal again for me, too. Hopefully the people that paid twice can get refunded without too much trouble.

I had paid and in a few days, my account showed that the payment had been processed. Therefore, I was allowed to continue on to complete the application. Then, yesterday we got emails that our fees had not been paid. The account shows up as unpaid again, and I am not able to continue with the application. Fortunately, one form had already been submitted. This would not have been possible if we had not actually paid. 

I submitted a copy of our bank statement showing that the fees had been deducted, but so far there has been no response.

I see that the website will be down for maintenance affecting payments, tomorrow. I hope they get this sorted out. 

I just logged in and saw the maintenance notice. Hopefully that will fix everything.

This looks fun...

Going around in circles with canned responses and a broken payment system.

So, they just completely ignored the bank statement you sent and didn't do a review like they're supposed to?

I just got the same notices this morning and then sent proof of payment.

Payments cleared two weeks ago and all documents submitted last week.

I think their system has problems.

I looked again and think I missed a document from the country specific documents list. The general documents page and document list on the ceac page aren’t complete for my case. I’ll correct that and resubmit.

5/4 for us.

Received an email and a message today "NVC cannot review your submitted documents until we have received all of the required documents DS-260, Civil Documents and Financial Documents. Once these documents have been submitted, we will review your case. Please follow your CEAC Home page and https://nvc.state.gov."

Nothing appears missing and there aren't any notes saying what the problem is. It seems to be a glitch in the system or maybe human error.

June 2022 here, was just approved last week.

Filed for K3 in March. It seems like it might have sped up the process, but there's no way to know for certain.

Case was listed as under active review since end of January.

Lastly, I’m not sure I understand your final question, but I don’t think there’s a way to bypass the NVC processing and interview date if you’re applying from abroad. The visa isn’t issued until after the interview is completed based on what I know.

To clarify, my question was about getting the 10 year vs 2 year conditional visa. If we're married at least 2 years when the visa is issued, then she would receive the IR 10 year visa. If it's less than 2 years, then she would receive the CR 2 year visa. If the process is going to be close to the 2 year mark, then we might want to slightly delay things to avoid removal of conditions. But it was hard to find at what point in the process they determine the 2 year anniversary mark and 10 year or 2 year visa. Eventually I found that they use the date of US entry.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. So it sounds like things can go pretty quickly after NOA2.

Sj33: Nice to meet you and good luck with the rest of your journey. How long have you been waiting for an interview so far? Which documents took a couple months?

I don’t see this documented anywhere, but I’m curious how far in advance we can get the police records and medical exam. I have my tax transcripts ready for I-864. Have to wait for I-130 approval before DS-260/1. Between the two of us we seem to have the other documents already. Just don’t know what else can be done at this stage to prepare for NVC.

And from the state dept website, it seems that the CR or IR determination is based on the date of US entry. That was another of my questions - at what point is the visa issuance date determined, (interview date, approval date, entry date). So it seems like if we wanted to get the IR green card we could just delay her US entry instead of delaying the NVC process or interview date.

Hi, everybody. Still waiting for NOA2, (Jun '22), but looking ahead to the next steps.

The estimated times in NVC stage after I-130 approval are all over the place, so I'm trying to understand what I'm missing.

While these two say about 16 days + 12 days for case creation:
