Hi all,

I called the NVC yesterday and was told by the automated system (I pressed 1 then 5 straight away) that no operators were available and to call back after 6. I called at 6:40 and got the same answer. Is there a trick to get to a live person or a best time to call?

Thanks!

Cigarovich,

Yeah there's a trick. Keep calling until you get through. I called 5 times during the day yesterday, did not get through, then called after 9pm, third time got to talk to the live person. Just keep trying, you'll get through.

Good luck,

Mike.

Monday always is a day when everyone calls to check on status.

Sometimes, you have to keep trying several times before you can speak with an operator live. Just keep trying. Good thing is, they are open until midnight EST.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview
