Why does it take 20 business days for NVC to process anything ?

DS230, I 864 , or any other RFE's , yeaah, 20 business days to review . Even the single most tiniest and simplest thing , why is that ??? So, try not to make any mistake , otherwise, you can get stuck for months .

That's just a standard the quote. Usually, it takes only a few days.

It takes very little time to do the actual review, but you have to wait in line until it is your turn. Kinda like going to a popular movie and you have to wait in line to buy your tickets.

Not Really well I got a REF only stuck for 9 extra . That is w.out counting that i can get and interview because embassy is pack .

I still call every 2 days i wont stop calling untill i get a interview however my cases are complete

it is been 10 business days since i sent out by email TWO passport photos and still no update .

I expect it would be another 10 before i hear anything.

There 's got to be thousand of people sending their applications each day .

is it a government run operation ???

They process HUGE volumes of correspondence a day.

CALL CALL CALL: You can call the NVC and ask them what your case status is. I did that before I got their email and had the requested evidence submitted before they told me what the RFE was. I would call them asap. 1-603-334-0700 have your case number ready. Good luck.

Not in my experience but it DOES vary. Electronic processing usually gets faster response times.

4.5 months for NOA2.

23 bus days for receiving RFE ( it wouldn't even have been processed if I had not called to request processing the case after 20 bus days had lapsed ).

already 10 bus days after submitting RFR ( 2 passport photos ) still no news.

When you call into NVC, wots the Human telling you ?

[bullmastiff 1]

you need to give us up to 20 bus days for this to process . after 20 bus days , you can give us a call and then we'll look into it .

Nice , huh !

If I didn't get the help the 1st time after 20 days, my case probably wouldn't have been processed .

One thing, I didn't include the bar code page the 1st time I sent DS230 and I 864 . That might have caused the delay. then, this time , when they told me about the RFE , I printed the bar code and sent it along in the email .

Looks like nothing I can do now other than to wait for another 10 bus days before they can put a processing request into their system.
