Give it at least 2 weeks then you can start calling the NVC. It can take up to 90 days for it to get there though.

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

That's interesting that they told you to check back in a week. The rep I spoke with just said, "they are in review" and "you'll need to give it some more time." Notice how they didn't give us their standard "wait 20 days" line? Maybe it's a sign that if there are no checklists they will get approved soon.

Called DOS. Their response time is under 1 minute!

The rep. said the email with instructions should come in 3-5 days.

And since they told you your case is under review, I think you might have a resolution tomorrow!

You have to tell them why you didn't file taxes in 2012 or submit the 2012 tax transcripts or tax return.

Yes, that's normal.

In their system they only input that they have "mail awaiting review". The operators don't know what it is until the review has started. Lately, it seems that once they start the review, and they tell you what they are reviewing, you will get a response within 24 hours (acceptance or checklist)

They are averaging 16-18 business days from them receiving the packets until the review starts.

Looks like you didn't include a statement about why you didn't file taxes for 2012.

I have never worked before I don't have any taxes

You have to give them a statement saying WHY you have never filed taxes.
