CSC Filers: How long to NVC

 Share

36 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

Hi all!

Again, I know I've been posting a lot! But it's so darn frustrating not to have any sort of timeframe for this next step in the process.

We JUST got our NOA2; and it was sent to NVC on the 24th of April. I know it is SUPER early to be calling them; but I wanted to see what the process was like, so I called them this evening.

The nice man on the phone told me it takes five to eight weeks for them to receive a case from "Immigration." Does that mean from the NOA1 to it's receipt at the NVC or five to eight weeks for them to process the case?

How long has it been taking cases sent from CSC to reach NVC? Thanks for putting up with all my questions everyone. Hope I can return the favor someday!

They haven't received mine either. Did they tell you 4-6 weeks? I really don't believe that, though because some of the people on VJ have had their cases received much faster.

Thanks jennrg83 and everyone who replied. It really helps to have timelines to look at to stave off the waiting anxiety. :)

Goodness, I want to call them everyday. But I know it's been too soon. It's only been seven days since our NOA2 and only THREE business days, but it feels like forever. :) The closer we get, the harder it is. Didn't you say something like that jennrg83, a while back? :)

Yeah, the anxiety just continues to build. I know it's horribly ocd, but I did call nvc every day, morning and evening. I wanted to know when they received it, when the case number was assigned, and when they sent it to the embassy. Our case is now in Haiti, and getting much closer...but now it isn't so easy to check on things.

Congrats Jamie and Marco!!!! This is wonderful!! Keep us posted on your next steps. And sending prayers and support to you both. I'm on hold with the NVC now just to see if they've received our case. I know it's a long shot, but acting is easier than waiting. :)

CSC > NVC took 15 days, or at least 15 days from NOA2. London had our file in hand 7 days later. I completed readiness within a day and have the medical next week. Just waiting for interview. Assuming no hiccups from there, that puts us on time for a solid 5 months start to finish.

I surprised her with a proposal in Los Angeles, and this is how it went down!
