hello guys! what's next after the Notice of Approval?

My IR-1/CR-1 petition was approved last March 2009 which was followed by the AOS Processing Fee Bill Invoice; from that time on my husband and I focused on the documents needed by the USCIS and NVC. I also received and completed the DS-3032 in April. And whenever there are documents we failed to submit, we are given notice by NVC. Last month, we were asked by NVC to send them original copies of our marriage certificate likewise my birth certificate and my son. Together with these documents, I also attached my NBI clearance for NVC's perusal. After the last action we took in connection with NVC's last instruction, we haven't heard from them yet. My husband filed a separate IR-1 petition for me and my son August of 2008 so it's been a year now... How long do I have to wait before we can get a schedule for medical and interview? What are the reasons why processing is delayed sometimes? Thank you in advance for your comments. God bless!

Try calling nvc (603-334-0700) and talking to an operator to see where your at and what more they will need from you. Call the nvc number then option 1 for english and then option 5 for an operator. Afterwards, try to keep updated on the status of your case with the nvc by calling the same number at least once or twice a week, but using options 1 for english, then 1 for immigration, then 2 for your nvc case number, then the first 3 letters of your case number, and then the 10 numbers that follow, followed by the pound sign(#). This will take you to the avr system, which can give you general updates on your case. I call daily.

Best thing you can do is to stay on your toes about updates with your case, even the smallest updates are important. But firstly, please call and talk to an operator asap using option 5!
