NVC Filers - May 2014

[agbcha 48]

Oh Oh! I did not hear that at all!

But what I would do is: Once the file gets to the consulate in Casablanca, I will ask them directly, and based on what they say, I will act!

Thank you for bringing this up! I would hate to get caught by surprise at the last minute especialy that I'm planning to be there with my wife for the interview!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anybody else chip in on this matter?

Hi there, my joint sponsor filed for an extension as well. Bring the 2013 tax transcript to the interview if you have it, but since you your extension is good until Oct (right?) I would think it'd be sufficient, as your interview will take place before October. Call your consultate to see what they reccomend once they get your case. Congratulations on your AOS docs being accepted -- I've been following your timeline very closely because you're a couple days ahead on every step! Best of luck to you

Thanks.

I called and got some good news:

AOS ACCEPTED as of yesterday.

Now last stretch: waiting for IV docs and DS260 to be reviewed! Expecting CC early next week!!!!!!!!!!!

hey how long did it take for AOS to be accepted after it was received at NVC?

Thank you very much.

My extension is good until Oct 2014. But I will call the consulate to confirm. Just to be sure!!!!!

If you look in my signature:

AoS packet sent 17 Apr, received 18 Apr. Scanned in 22 Apr and accepted 07 May.

Two weeks after it was scanned in.

I am seeing about 90 days at NVC for processing. Two weeks after the interview to get the paperwork and visa via DHL. How long between NVC and the Embassy interview, approximately? Just trying to get an approximate end to end timeline for my next phase. I just got my NOA2 two days ago and am still wading through the 100+ pages on this thread, so forgive me if the info is here somewhere and i have not found it yet! Just trying to get an approximate ETA. My Colombian wife is not the most patient woman on the planet! hahahaha (also our first anniversary is August 31 and we are hoping to be together by that time, but I think that is cutting it real close).

my 2 cents:

2 weeks to 3 weeks between NOA2 and NVC receives your petition

4 weeks to a month for case # after NVC receives petition

1 week to 10 days after case # assigned to pay AoS fee and fill out DS261

here it gets tricky:

NVC says you have to wait until fee shows PAID to send in AoS packet, i did not wait. Sent packet in as soon as bar code sheet was available (same day).

it takes between 2 to 5 business days for the fee to show PAID.

After DS261 is filled out, it takes 5 business days for IV fee to be invoiced.

same thing for the packet, NVC says to wait for teh PAID status, I did not.

as of now, packets are reviewed 2 to 3 weeks after they are scanned in.

Packets gets scanned in 3 to 5 days after mail delivery to NVC.

For the interview, it depends on the consulate/embassy availability and timing of Case Complete at NVC.

Good luck

Did you have a question? I did not see one in your post!

If the post is "ignored" as you call it, may be the available members don't have an answer.

Saylin reads all the posts and she will answer you if you have a question, so do the rest of us !

Apparently this depends on the embassy you are interviewing at so there's no one size fits all answer. For Egypt, at least, many people are saying 4-6 months after case complete at NVC to obtain an interview. And another 1 month until the interview actually takes place. However, I believe there were a couple people reporting being scheduled in less than 4 months. I'm sure a lot of countries are faster than that and I have heard that there are some that are even slower as far as getting an interview. I don't know where Colombia falls, but there is a spreadsheet somewhere out there that is showing the time it took to schedule and interview and the time until the interview happened. You could look on that spreadsheet for your country and see what the trends are. I hope someone can post the link.

Thank you for saying that. I am intending to send the AOS packet in ASAP and not wait until it shows up as paid. I was able to print out the bar code right away, so I don't know what difference it would make if I waited anyway. it's not going to generate a different bar code.
