NVC Processing Time

[JessicaBooth 4]

I called the NVC and they received our petition today. The lady said allow 10-20 business days for it to be processed. Does it really take that long? From other people timelines it looks like it's in one day and out the next!

i too would share my sentiments on this...they also told my fiance 20 working days processing (worst case scenario). And yes, i agree, i dont know if the couples here really had a 2 or 3 or so forth days of processing from NVC to Embassy...i am wondering too...or they got it all wrong, i guess??

in one day and out the next seems to be a thing of the past im afraid. also the london embassy is running at about 2 1/2 months from receiving the papers to interview. as soon as you receive a case number from nvc though sam can book his medical

Ours was entered into the system on September 15, 2011 (NOA2 was September 6th) and it was mailed to Amsterdam on September 16th, 2011. I hope you call tomorrow and they said it has been sent to the embassy already! Best of luck!

I really does depend. But usually it doesn't take more than a couple of days (check out our timeline). When I called to talk to NVC they were always very friendly and helpful. They told me that NVC is basically just a stop for our case, that they basically enter our information in the system and send it out it's way. I know at this point in the process you feel really antsy, especially after waiting for your NOA2. After NOA2 the process is pretty smooth for most. So don't worry untill next week. Call everyday if you want and ask them if your case has left and when it has track it through DHL's website and that should keep you busy at least until your case arrives at the embassy. Good luck to you both, we wish you the best!

Here's the averages from every I-129F VJ timeline (K1) for the last 16 months. 3-5 days seems to be average. It takes about 4 days from there to the embassy mailroom. Doesn't mean they open it and work on it the day it hits town.
