Hello,

in my case NVC finished review of I-864 last Friday, Oct. 20, it took 3 weeks since the time it was received, my DS-230 was posted on Oct.13 so i'm hoping they take 3 wks to review this form. :(

yes, mine took only 1 week, if what the operator told me was correct. she definitely said "it has been reviewed and everything is ok", so i took that to mean it's finished. but mine was pretty straightforward, i was well over the 125% level and used just my salary and I-864EZ. so no other documents were required, just letter of employment and tax transcript. i hope you all have just as speedy an approval as i did.
