It doesn't hurt to be declined for an expedite (we were approved at USCIS and denied at NVC), but I highly doubt your situation would be approved. It doesn't seem severe enough, and it's pretty short term.

short term? USCIS denied our request but 2 days later, our case got approved. Alizon, you think NVC will juge it not severe? she is losing weight and having a baby in her belly. She will be hospitalized for 1 or 2 weeks. If they say it is not severe enough then they are heartless. They have to be realistic

I mean the possible hospitalization is short term. You can always try...

but my guess is that they judge expedites based on whether having the beneficiary in the US will make any critical difference to the situation, hence why normal pregnancy expedites are usually denied.

this has an impact on her work productivity, and her paycheck. Sometimes she has to call oout and other situation that i kept personal. Anyways, i will try. by the way, i did not know interview were scheduled by NVC. How does that work?

They just schedule them based on the available dates that each consulate provides to them, whenever those dates are provided. Montreal seems to have a habit of releasing their available dates only a month at a time. Don't know if other consulates do the same.

Clark-Kent's response above mirrors my situation. As soon as the Automated Voice System gave me the number, I sent an email version of the DS3032.

If you look back a page or so, you can see a conversation I had with another poster from France. Our times are close to identical, and i don't think unusual.

The only thing that I have to add to the info that I wrote there is that My case completed at CSC December 6. It was a full month before a case number got produced. This is my second time going through the visa process, so I knew that it would take a while, especially coming right before the holidays. I pretty much forgot about it until right after New Year. Much of the anguish with the NVC phase seems to be that period, from completion at service center to case number at NVC. I didn't pay attention, so right now i'm really happy with the NVC. If i had been pulling my hair out about if it had been received, maybe i'd be thinking differently. I've never had the government, including the post office, lose anything. Maybe i'm lucky. But, I don't think harassing them about a case number speeds anything up at all.

Once the case number was produced, i knew the next steps well from the State Department website and here. I just anticipated all that was coming and never waited for the paper instructions. The whole thing, while not technically digital yet, is pretty close. The only big hole in that statement is that i had to send in paper application.

I'm a little surprised that I got the appointment so quickly, but a good surprise is nice once in a while. My first time it was a CR-1, this time an IR-1. Both ended up coming in at about 9 months, start to finish. Not too bad. My opinion is that a lot of it has to do with being able to follow directions and anticipating how a very regulated process will work. The big waste of time in this system is the time from filing the petition with USCIS to NVC receipt. The service center is where most of the time is spent waiting. The advise here is invaluable, and all that i needed to help.

That said, i'm kind of used to online advice. You need to read a large quantity and try to piece together what is most valuable and what is most likely not-so helpful. For some reason, there are a lot of people in the world who like to act like experts when they are only repeating things that they have heard.

Thank you for the info.

VJ, I have a quick question.

So I called NVC today, got my Case Number and my Invoice ID Number, but when I tried to use these two to pay the AOS fee, it says "sign in failure".

Can somebody tell me why? I am sure I put in all the correct numbers.

Thank you.

If they just assigned you those numbers today, I would give it a day and try again, then call if you can't get into the payment portal. I couldn't sign in the day I got my numbers either, and you probably can't pay your AOS fee yet anyway. You have to wait until it is invoiced.

It's always possible that they rescheduled their interview, which led to the long space of time between the cc and interview. Try looking for other examples so you can establish a consistent pattern of wait times.

Since you got your case number at the end of last week (according to previous posts and your timeline), then the reason you can't sign in is most likely due to the fact that NVC is invoicing your AOS fee. Once you're able to log in (keep checking as often as you can/want), then it should be available. So have the money ready :)
