Updating current NVC timelines:

# of business days it takes:

5-9 days for NVC to receive your case and assign a case #.

4-9 days to receive emailed links after giving your email address to an operator.

1-2 days for the AOS bill to show as PAID.

8-9 days for DS3032 to be accepted.

1-2 days for IV bill to be PAID.

7-10 days for case complete after all your documents have been sent in.

MrsWife--Congratulations and welcome. Use this long weekend to have everything prepared for NVC so that you can zoom through it. Good luck.

MsSheka--Where are you? I didn't beat the 13 day record at NVC but I did manage to get all the documents out of the door within 13 days of them assigning a case number. NVC, you are too slow for me. :)

HEYY!! WELCOME BACK HEHE

NVC IS REALLY SLOW FOR ME..FOR YOU THEY HAVE TREAT YOU WELL.. I HAVE EVERYTHING READY AND THEY HAVE NOT SENT ME NOTHINGGGG..

I really think the surge of approvals, as awesome as it is, is slowing NVC down. And the Haiti situation as well.

But I do think you'll have your e-mails on Tuesday, estrella! It depends on when the case # is assigned. It's about 7 business days from the case number. I calculated a few of the timelines and that's what it comes down to.

Posting for cause. NVC noobs, pay attention. Here's Christeen's time tested formula for NVC:

Petitioner: Get NVC # + give operator your email IDs + receive AOS fee bill + pay 70$ online + wait to show paid + print cover sheet + send I-864 AOS with all documents and case # written on each page.

Beneficiary: Get NVC# + receive DS3032 + send DS3032+ DS3032 accepted + IV fee bill available to be paid + pay & wait to show paid + print IV cover sheet + mail DS230 package with all original/certified documents

= wait for case complete + wait for interview to be scheduled.

I sent in the letter format DS3032 on Friday evening and then couriered the hardcopy pfd form on Monday morning. Good luck.

My packages will be reaching NVC at 10:30am on Friday morning. Too bad we spent the extra money on overnighting it since they won't get to it till Tuesday. Oh, well.

As soon as the DS3032 is accepted (in about 7-9 business days, currently), the IV bill is generated. My payment cleared in about 12 hours.
