its really disheartening to see people with priority dates and approval dates that are 3 weeks later than yours already have case complete and interview dates! I still have not received any invoices from the nvc and cannot pay any fees yet even though its been 25 days and 20 business days since my case number was first assigned at the nvc. I've called nvc everyday and all they tell me is that there is no reason for alarm and my case is running a normal timeline. Today when i called nvc i asked to talk to a supervisor so i was able to talk to a supervisor named Anna, she was less than helpful and every time i tried to speak she cut me off and kept saying "its on schedule sir", "its on schedule sir" it really pissed me off how rude she was. Has anyone ever had to wait this long to be able to pay their fees and start their case????????//

Just hold tight! You will get it before you know it. They are times that NVC are really slow... Mine was my case number took more than 30 days... You really need to be patience... I know it sucks!

There has definitely been some kind of strange bottleneck at NVC in the last 3 months or so that is affecting a lot of people entering the NVC phase...though some others, somehow (prolly luck), avoided it. I suspect some kind of internal re-organization is going on there, but have no way of proving that theory since NVC hasn't commented on anything like that.

All I can say is hang in there...and keep calling. I'm sure you'll break thru soon.

I don't think NVC is doing anything wrong.. They can't approve fast enough from the documents they get from USCIS.. It use to take an average of 5 months to get an NOA2.. Now I am seeing it done in 60-90 days.. NVC can't keep up with that pace..
