NVC Filers - November 2013

[L and A 3]

NBC transferred my case to Philadelphia and Philadelphia took their sweet 11 weeks to send my case to NVC .

Was your file transferred to a local or another service center from the NBC or was it processed only at NBC? And it took 8 full weeks to get from NBC to NVC for your case?

I just got approved on November 25, 2013. And havent receved NOA2 or from NVC (that they receive my case) in the mail yet.

How long does it take for NVC to work on the case??

[L and A 3]

On average it takes about a week or so to get NOA2 in the mail and about 2 weeks for NVC to get your case in mail. I just had bad luck that Philadelphia had my file. I think average time for NVC to process is about 2 months or so.

thank you saylin- what I have from NVC is what the lawyers sent me via email which is pretty much letter from NVC stating our case number and what they needed from us initially (so this is the first package I guess?)

Thank you for the advice- will definately take the letters with me.

hey guys havent received my approved package of the i130 yet, the answer to my question will probably be there but how do i know when NVC receives and/or assign me a case number?

[you & i 16]

Hi,

Does anyone know when DS-260 will be available.

After IV fee shows "Paid" or?

Hi,

When I paid AOS in the beginning it was showing "In Process" now it shows "Paid", but my bank doesn't show anything.

The next day I paid IV packaged it's still shows "In Process", but my bank account shows that the payment is done.

Also I read that DS-260 will be available since the payment shows "Paid".

This is very strange.

ah ok i am going to give the NVC a call and see about this glitch they are having in the system so i can get the DS 260 available to be filled up

It sounds like that's right. I uploaded the initial package from NVC here, to compare: http://s128.photobucket.com/user/smurf47/library/Immigration/NVC%20information%20email?sort=6&page=1 (click on the first image to see it bigger)

You need to call to find out if NVC receives your package; you won't receive anything from them saying they have. As for the case number, if you're not calling often and give over a case number once the case number is assigned, then they'll have to snail mail that to you, which can take quite awhile to receive. So, my suggestion: call like once or twice a week until NVC says they've received your package. Then start calling more often, like 3 times a week (or preferably, daily). By doing that, you'll be as up to date as possible.

Please go back to posts 1 and 2 and read everything.

NVC is currently giving out the time frame of 30 business days to review packages. You're not going to receive an email saying they've received packages. And case complete emails aren't 100% consistent yet, and they're often delayed by a week or two. Your best bet is to call them daily, starting next Monday.

It's not a glitch. These things take time. I'd only suggest calling about it if a week has passed since the payment has cleared your bank account.

the other day I received a false checklist, and after few calls to NVC, they just said to disregard it, the status is still the same " wait up to 30 days blah blah blah". Nonetheless, one positive thing happened yesterday when I called them, I was able to talk to an agent right away, didn't wait for 20-30 minutes as usual.

Anybody else here that got a false checklist but was approved shortly after receiving it?????? Any upgrade at all after the checklist????

Is there someone at NVC that could give me more information besides the agent that just picks up the phone and looks at the computer screen????

You don't need to speak to someone else, the agent was telling the truth, to disregard it as it's a false checklist. Did you do what I asked and ask them if the DS-260 was approved? That's what the false checklist is based off of, them reviewing the DS-260.

Since you've got an AOS checklist response and the IV package waiting to be reviewed, you'll likely get another false checklist after they review one of them, asking for the other item. Again, it's a false checklist and nothing to be worried about. False checklists are actually GOOD news as they typically mean something was reviewed and ACCEPTED.

I'm sure the other packages will be looked at real soon since you seem to have submitted everything around the same time. Just keep calling NVC daily and asking for a status update on your case.

You know what I will call them now and see what they say, BUT I didn't ask them if the ds - 260 was approved. Are you telling me that if they approve ds-260 the case is complete or I would still have to wait for the IV and AOS to be approved as well???????

by the way' I never thanked you for your replies Saylin, THANKS A LOT

No, your case is only complete once all 3 things have been accepted (AOS package, IV package, DS-260). I'm telling you to ask if the DS-260 was accepted because that's what the false checklist is based off. If they say it's been accepted, then 1 out of the 3 things have been accepted, then you'll only have 2 things left.

But, you may not get any false checklists for the two other items, so you need to call them and ASK. This is the fastest way to know if things have been accepted or not. So, when you call, ask them three things:

-Has my DS-260 been approved?

-Has my AOS checklist response been approved?

-Has my IV package been approved?

Only once all three above questions are 'yes' will you have a case complete.

Saylin I received the email from NVC which looks like confirmation of our case completed. Do you know how such confirmation email looks like generally? ours pretty much states that they have received documentation neccesary to complete pre-processing of our case- and that once interview date has been scheduled we will be notified.

I guess it is now official- we have case complete.
