It may take up to 30 days for NVC to receive and enter the cases in their system. I'd say call back 2 weeks after the date it left NVC.

Thank you Kerran. I noticed that you asked NVC expedite your case. I'm planning to expedite my petitions for medical reasons. When do you recommend me to send them an email? Should I do so after I receive the case numbers? Thank you for your help!

You get an email in about a week from when the case actually gets completed. The only way you can find out is by calling NVC .... and I mean calling everyday to see if the case has been completed.

After that it all depends on your embassy's availability. Sometimes people get appointment letter the same day the case gets completed and sometimes they have to wait for 1-2 weeks. In my case it was about week and a half.

Check out the following link. Click on Case Complete to Interview Spreadsheet. This will give you an idea as to how long it could take. See if Peru is on the list. I am thinking you should hear something about the date of interview by the end of this month. Within this month I mean.

Thank you Kerran. I noticed that you asked NVC expedite your case. I'm planning to expedite my petitions for medical reasons. When do you recommend me to send them an email? Should I do so after I receive the case numbers? Thank you for your help!

You're welcome!

As soon as you get the case and invoice number send them the email requesting the expedite service because that information has to be included in the request. And it has to be written by a physician.

Thank you soooo much Kerran!! (L) You have eased my mind a little! (It won't be eased completely until his mom is here!)

You're welcome! It will be over soon ;)

Hi guys, thank you so much for answering my questions. I'm filling out I-864 and I864A for my parents. I read on this forum that you should put N/A next to the blank field. Otherwise, you will get a checklist but I read the I-864 instruction and they recommneded not to do so. What do you guys recommend me to do? Thank you so much!
