We're still waiting as well. Our first service request said the same thing about background checks still pending. We then contacted our state senator, who was told by USCIS told that they would expedite our security checks, so hopefully that actually happens. Good luck!

Same here! :( I had plans that if everything was to complete in time, I'll be visiting my wife in around Jan-Feb. Now I guess that's not possible :/ this wait is just brutal!

I thought I would be the same.. My husband and I have been apart for a year in November. But have been waiting 8 months since we got our noa1.. It's really hard, not just for us to be apart but our son is missing out with his dad too.. It's ridiculous they have us waiting this long!

Has anyone received an update from NVC? They received my docs on Sep 26th and still say no updates, they havent even reviewed them. Hoping it doesnt actually take 60 days, I was hoping for a month tops but oh well, gotta keep on waiting, I was certain long waits were over after USCIS but guess not. I really wanna be there before the holidays but at this point its like i dont even care anymore, when its time its time. Hoping for no checklists, case complete and interview date soon.

Hello Dave87

NVC is taking close to the 60 days + or - a few. It would be best to plan the 60 days. My case is still there since may, coming up on 6 months at the NVC, because of a "computer glitch" in August. And it is looking like there is a possibility they lost one of my docs. Still waiting to hear back from them.

Hang in there and I hope you all have better luck than me.

Did either of you two get the 60-day wait letter? I got it twice, both as email attachments but in completely different formats about 36 hours apart. They came within days of me mailing the docs (AOS and IV together), and basically said that the USCIS has approved too many people for them to honor the 2-4 week period posted on their website. It even apologized...

Made me sad, but it was good to know that calling in two weeks (i.e. right now) would probably be a waste of time.
