My guess is that the cases approved between 6/15 to 6/30 would be bundled and sent to NVC around 7/10. We should have good news next week - patience and positive approach are virtues.

Hi NavyK how do we know that our case has reached Chennai?

It is not perfect but it atleast tell if a packet was sent to Chennai - hopefully it could be yours. Once this packet is delivered at Chennai, give 2 days and call them.

1- when you know from AVR that your case was forward to embassy on a particular date ( mm/dd/yyyy) lets take an example case forward to embassy August 27th 2011

2- go to DHL TRACK

3- then under track list click on track reference

4- put the reference in this shape EXP26AUG2011A and push track

It works well for some consultes where the traffic is not much. I am not sure if this really works for India where a lot of packets get couriered from NVC to different US Consulates. We can never know which is ours. I will try and check it out when I get an interview date.

Hi I just called NVC and they told me it usually takes 3-4 weeks for NVC to forward the case to our Embassy (In my case Chennai). At this time my case is still sitting with NVC.

So I found out IV fee payment take 2 has also been rejected, thanks to a mixture of my husband's terrible spending habits and control over money, and the fact that the NVC let the money stew in the account for a week before taking it. I'm a little nervous, expecially given that I'd thought it had accepted, and sent off the paperwork with the barcoded sheets on.

Ready for my grand ol' timeline? Alrighty then!

10-05-10 - Married in California
06-13-11 - I-130 approved
10-13-11 - CASE COMPLETE!
12-02-11 - Interview - 221g due to a washed passport
12-17-11 - POE - YYC (preclearance in Canada)

2011 to 2013 - Life happened

06-26-13 - Divorce finalized

10-07-13 - I-751 divorce filer paperwork journey begins

07-03-14 - ROC interview - approval pending delayed background checks

07-25-14 - APPROVED! 10 year GC is finally in production!

08-01-14 - 10 year GC in hand. The journey has finally ended. :)

2014 to 2020 - Living paperwork-free and focused on me!

11-09-20 - N-400 filed online - welcome back VJ fam!

6-22-21 - Interview in Nashville, approved! And then...

6-22-21 - Pledge of Allegiance taken. Holy shirtballs I'm a US Citizen.

 

I've spent so many years in the loving arms of the USCIS, but now it's time to fledge. So long, my friends, may all your journeys also end on the doorstep of whatever you're searching for.

Think I have been told that before...lol. Here's hoping today is the day.
