Ok, I will, I can call, I will be checking, I think that helps... Or at least comforts me that I am doing something.

Yeah, besides keeping as up to date as possible, calling made me feel like I was doing something

Depends on their backlog, which constantly changes. Could be anywhere from 1-3 weeks (or even more) once they receive it.

Upon suggestion of a VJ member (thanks foobaz123), I have created a FAQ of the most common questions I see here on VJ concerning the NVC process. If you know of a common question that isn't mentioned here, please inform me through a reply in this thread or PM me. I'd be more than happy to include it here.

Hi Saylin and hello everyone!

I have gone through the FAQ's and think that there may be a question you can include in this, which I also need answers to. You have discussed this briefly on the FAQ's but I just want to clarify a few things,

Since September 1, 2013, we had been required to comply to online DS261 and DS260. Even then, I still sent my DS3032 and DS230 by mail, not knowing what instructions to follow or confused what to do.

Question: When having filled out online forms DS261 and DS260 online, and still have sent the hard copies DS3032 and DS230--will it affect my visa application in any way? Will it cause delay? Having sent both, which ones will NVC honor?

It's been almost 2 weeks since I have done DS260 online, and sent DS230...up until now my case is not yet complete. Could I have done something wrong?

You should come to the October thread. This thread is old, and before the DS-261/DS-260 was required by everyone. I added a few new items to the FAQ in relation to the new process.

Since it's been a month and a half since the new policy took effect, NVC won't review any DS-3032s/DS-230s sent in. They're only accepting DS-261s/DS-260s now. Have you called NVC to see what the status of your case is?

Thanks Saylin! Apparently I am lost in the threads--someone told me i should try september and october filers but i don't seem to share a similar timeline with them. Mine's either delayed or too advanced in some threads--I do not know where I belong. Lol

Still continuously reading, exploring and discovering. Thanks for your help, support and advice anyway. Will look further into the october threads. I missed some discussions there, maybe I should dig deeper. Still getting the hang of the website tools and my way around VJ.

And hey? Really appreciate what you guys are doing here! These forums are a lot of help!!! Thank you again. See you around!

We always move each month to the current month, no matter when you started at NVC. So, since it's currently October, everyone's in October. It's not like the I-130 filer groups where everyone stays in the same group. We're movers

And glad you enjoy the forums! I definitely did during my initial visa process and my recently completed ROC process

Oh I seeeee! So that's the secret! Hahaha! Funny how lost I was.

I did call NVC yesterday considering my time here (that's technically very early this morning in EST terms), and geez I didn't know it was Columbus day! I should have also been aware of US Holidays, too! Now, I know, when calling NVC from abroad, I should also be aware of holidays! hehehe! Will call them again later.

Now off to the October threads.

Thanks again Saylin!

Don't worry, you're not the only one to not know this secret

Yup, federal holidays are fun. Too bad I wasn't paid time and a half for working today though

I'll see ya in the October threads!

This is an old thread. The current one is January, located here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/472916-nvc-filers-january-2014/

And since you have a case complete, you should join this thread with others also waiting on an interview date: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/472919-february-2014-interviews/
