Just an update for those concerned about experiencing the following.

Logging in today at ceac.state.gov/IV, I got this message:

Please be advised that the case that you have attempted to access is not eligible for further processing by the National Visa Center at this time. Please contact the National Visa Center if you believe that you have received this message in error.

Expecting the case complete email any hour now!

The payment portal at ceac.state.gov/CTRAC still lets me log in regularly and see my payments.

And the Visa Status Check site ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker still says the case is at NVC.

so..our AOS was received at NVC 07.03 and accepted 07.25 and the IV package was received at NVC 07.09 (entered into the system) and i called yesterday and it was still under review. Today i get the same message on ceac.state.gov/iv/ as you did, u think this means a case complete? Anyway i'll call today and ckeck...

Congrats! If there was a trick to getting an interview date assigned sooner, we'd all be using it :P Unless there's a cancellation, it's more likely the interview will be assigned in September. But, once you do get the interview date assigned, the case will be sent to the embassy. Once you've confirmed with DOS that it's arrived and has been inputted, contact the embassy (either by calling or emailing) and see if you can get an earlier date. It's worth a shot, but don't expect much.

Case Complete!!!Thank you VJ and Saylin, it has been a rough 2.5 moths here at NVC and the posts here were extremly helpfull!!!

Congrats!

IR-1/CR-1 applicants don't deal with package 3. That's a K1 applicant thing (and sometimes DCF thing).

Package 4 is the interview letter.

I haven't chimed in on here in awhile. But I got an update today so I'll share.

I spoke to NVC just now and they said both our AOS and IV packets are under review. Up until late last week all they could tell me was that the packets had been received.

I don't know if that means they just started reviewing everything on Friday or today, but now that they're saying everything is under review could there be a case complete soon?

Same here! I just called the NVC this afternoon and was told by a Rep named Donna that my AOS and IV packets are "in review" and to "check back with us next week". I hope it's for a case complete and not a check list. whistling.gif
