I wish they would change that error message to something more helpful. All those people that don't know about VJ are just freaking out and clogging up NVC phone lines :bonk:

I think they are doing this in purpose!

I paid IV fees on 21-Apr and it still shows IN PROCESS. I can't access DS260 yet.

I think they are backlogged again and just decided to stop the process for sometime to allow them to catch up and then it will pick up again.

I hope I'm wrong

11/17/2016: Got engaged
11/28/2016: I-130 sent to Chicago IL lock box

The same thought crossed my mind this morning. I swear its their way of controlling the workload.

I have to say... it is much better than the exhausting wait at the USCIS. At least here you can log in and actually see something. You don't feel like you're being lied to everytime you call and talk to tier 2.

The answers seem to be more consistent here. Maybe the 30 day answer is not what we want to hear, but at least it doesn't go back and forth from 30 to 60 to 45 days.

This whole process stinks...

Not looking forward to the waiver process. Its back at the good ol' NSC. I wonder what I have have to do to try and get an expedite? Do I have to sell my soul to the devil? I just hope since they changed the regular processing times back to 5 months... just maybe they will change the waivers back to 4 months instead of 8 months. ( or process the I-601 waivers before the I-601a waivers ) I will be lost without everyone on this thread.... :crying::cry:

Is your husband gonna be able to come to the US after the approval at the visa interview? or do you have to wait for the waiver before he can actually come to the US?

I just spoke to Melisa at the NVC call center and she was super sweet!!! I did not get a case complete but the manner to which she handled the call was above and beyond her call of duty and in view of this, I bestow upon her the "medal of freedom" for today.

No, since he is in Costa Rica he has to wait it out until the waiver is approved. The illegals get to stay in the US while thier waivers are processed... ( not sure why our government decided that was the way to deal with it )

That's why I am in such a hurry. He went back to Costa Rica ( on his own... not deported) almost 2 1/2 years ago. The 11 month USCIS wait was horrible and now we are in a hurry to get through the NVC to get the final leg of this journey under-way.

still can't pay IV fee. i'll give them a call if I can't pay by the end of the day, but i get the feeling they will tell me to wait 30 business days or something..

I called them about the fees not should paid and they only said wait 5 day!!! I was in shock that i didn't get the 30 days standard answer . lol

Just got an email from NVC that my IV fee was ready to be paid... Still not payable on CEAC though lol

Oh well.. will probably be available later tonight or tomorrow morning.. At least they are sending out emails on time :rolleyes:

In the exact same boat. But today they tell me I SHOULD be able to pay. I am a Mac user, so they told me only IE will work. (Even though I paid AOS just fine)

Went next door to use neighbor's IE...same thing...the yellow triangle. :ranting:

depends on the embassy.

I plan on tracking the file to the embassy and then calling them to schedule something if what I get is not good. My phone plan includes free international calling to a landline.. ( sorry for them :rofl: )

it depends on the date of Case Complete and when NVC is scheduling interviews for a specific embassy.

If you miss the deadline than the wait is longer. And we don't know the deadline.

Thank you both LoveMYTico and etrangais. I am just hoping the case gets completed in the next week or week and a half (without any further checklists) so the interview can be arranged for mid to end June considering there's about a month gap in between the notice and actual interview
