I officially express mailed our IV packet today!!! WOOOO HOO!!!

So I've been studying some timelines around here. It looks like it'll take them 1-2 weeks just to put both packets in the system. Assuming no RFEs (cross your fingers!), how long is "normal" for SIF/CC these days?

Wow! Kikapoo, we have the same timeline on NVC! I'm also interested in this question,

how long more??

about 15 days before SIF. Once SIF, you will get the case complete in a few days. Also, another few days for them to assign you an interview date. It seems that once the case is completed, getting an early appointment date has to do with how busy your embassy is

art646--we do! It's so exciting to have everything submitted! Here's hoping we make it for the January round of scheduling!

Tooduhri--is that 15 days after the packets are received? Or after they are entered into the system? And is that 15 business days, or total days? Ha ha, sorry, we've gotten this far, I'm running out of things to obsess over!

Yes Kikapoo! Let's hope for best!

ps: I think Tooduhri meant from the time of IV and AOS submission, at least that's what I hope for!

15 days after NVC received the IV packet. 15 total days When I got SIF, I checked AVR and it said that the documents have been entered into the system and I checked the AVR the following day and it says that the case was completed. My wife and I were pretty anxious to hear from NVC after we got our SIF. you will get your SIF soon too. good luck! oh and you can study people's timeline to get a good estimate on your timeline as well.

Hope all is well with everyone !

I called NVC and put in our NVC case number, and the automated message system says our case is not in the system maybe its not in this office or something, has anyone else exprienced this ? Check out our timeline they have accepted our AOS/IV payments, and my AOS packet, so how come when I check status it says that?

Try to get it from operator, if they invoiced the bill, they should have you case#.

Hi everyone! So glad I found this thread. My husband just sent the AOS and IV packets yesterday. Now I have questions:

1. Assuming that there's nothing wrong with the AOS and IV documents, how long it usually takes from the day IV package is sent til SIF/case completed?

2. Is it possible to re-schedule the interview date the NVC assigned to you?

Hope we will all have a smooth NVC processing. Godbless.

1. Assuming that there's nothing wrong with the AOS and IV documents, how long it usually takes from the day IV package is sent til SIF/case completed?

>> all cases are different but it took a bunch of us a bit more than two weeks before we got "case complete". you can study timelines from users who post on this thread.

2. Is it possible to re-schedule the interview date the NVC assigned to you?

>> yes. if you can't make it to the interview on the assigned date, you can work with the embassy in your location to reschedule. All embassies are different. Check their website but you will have to wait until your case is forward to the embassy. They do not have any knowledge of your case until they receive your case from NVC.

Thanks very much for responding. Glad to know that for most filers it takes 2-3 weeks to a month. I'm just anxious because I had my advance medical exam and it's only valid for 6 months. I feared that I had to undergo the two-month sputum culture considering that I'd been working as a medical technologist for almost four years. Glad everything turned out normal. But this time I'm worried about how long I can get out of NVC. *sigh* This entire process is like a rollercoaster ride! Hopefully we'll all finish successful.

yesterday, I received the invoice for the visa application processing by email. I was wondering if that means that i am not going to have a RFE for I-864, they received it more than a week ago. Or can i still get RFE???

Thanks
