What's going on with NVC?

[Sweet dream 7]

It's completing 11 days since we got approved and I just checked the timelines and I saw many others waiting since May 14th the Number from NVC.

I'd like to understand why they are taking so long time to give us the number.

Please if someone has any information share with us.

Thank you

Has your file reached NVC yet? Sometimes uscis takes their pretty time to send it and then it can be in the mail room at NVC for a while before being dealt with...

latest info on nvc is that they are swamped

have you confirmed your case has been received by nvc? the letter from uscis saying it has been sent is not always accurate.

I have been approved for over six weeks and my file is still sitting at that stupid office that approved it.. not that I am just sitting back and waiting for something to come in the mail

if they have not received it, you have to wait 15 business days until you can ask nvc to research

if they have received it, it has been taking up to 20 business days to get a case number

I waited 30 days at the NVC before they gave me a number and forwarded our case to the consulate concerned.

thats a long time....how long after ur interview was set? I'm just afraid it takes so long and I dont get an interview by july :\

I know every case is different, but if you wanna have an idea about when your interview will be, I would suggest looking into members in the same Embassy as you. Doing a quick check, I see that, after the embassy receives your stuff, it takes around a month to the interview.

But at NVC its all cases from VSC and CSC..I just looked at the e timelines seems they are on day may 18th....If its right by june 7th or 10th I'll have my number. I wanted my interview was on july 9th...lets see...

[fantonledzepp 159]

We had our interview 7 weeks after the consulate received the case.

Every consulate is different.

So if I receive the number by friday or monday I'll get my inter on 3rd or 4th week of july.. not so bad..

Lets see if they are really processing may 18th...

I was starting to worry about my case getting to NVC after NOA2 May 17th ... since there are a small but growing number of horror stories here about USCIS never sending the files on, or sending them to the wrong place, etc ... and some filers several days ahead of mine (May 18, 21, 24) had already gotten through NVC completely.

However, today when I called after the agonizing weekend of wondering whether I might be in for more delays, my case was there! Just today. Hasn't been shipped out yet but I did get my case number.

It took mine 17 calendar days after the NOA2 to just arrive at NVC. (10 business days, they say to allow 15 business days max.) If your NOA2 is only May 24, you're still within very normal times, I think!

Also note that CR1/IR1 cases are processed much more slowly. With spousal visas it seems to take on average of a month, if not two, to get to NVC. K-1 does go faster and is usually about 7-10 business days -- not calendar days.

Nice answer..so as I was telling I checked that they are processing may 18th...by my counts to friday mine will give 14 days and 17 monday..so I'm close....

I called NVC yesterday and they told me they had just received my docs from USCIS (I got my approval on May 23rd 2013) and that I should wait about 10-12 days to receive the next steps.

[Alaska2012 462]

But even if you get your number soonish there is no guarantee that you will have an July interview. All embassies and consulates are different. Have you looked at timelines for your country, to see how long between case closed at NVC and actual interview date?

What time did you call them?
