NVC Filers - July 2014

[bdrew612 1,071]

Not to mention, if it's like USCIS, then each person grabs a stack of packages and works through them, it's not like they go through each package one by one, in the order they're received. So, if one person, who has later dates in the range, reviews them faster than people with earlier dates in the range, well, it's gonna appear on here that NVC is on later dates, even though there's still people waiting with earlier dates. Hopefully that makes sense

Exactly!

before they used to take just 2 weeks then 30 days then 30 business days now more than 30 business days ....they are getting slower and slower.I don't understand ....For checklist also more than 30 business days to review just one document.

If they're receiving more mail then they're going to work slower and government agencies aren't the type to approve overtime willy nilly lol

It is strange that they are reviewing June 13th documents. My wife's checklist reply entered in NVC system on June 11th has still not been reviewed.

It seems they are reviewing multiple dates ......

This is how it's been. I remember people with my scan date got CCs before me. It's a range of dates, not one at a time.

Please realize that NVC got an influx of cases from USCIS and got backlogged. And since it appears they haven't implemented anything to help get rid of the backlog, until then, time frames are just going to continue to get worse as USCIS doesn't stop sending cases to NVC, backlog or no backlog.

True ,But day by day it is getting worst and it hurts ..............

My friend already came here and they both are together ,but I got checklist .Our case was same dates ..Now it hurts alot to wait 2 months more...

My wife is calling NVC to find. She is on hold. Let's see what do they say.

Fingers crossed.....

Well, of course it's getting worse. NVC got slammed with thousands and thousands of cases (more so than usual), so while trying to get through all that, they're still getting sent files from USCIS. It's like a snowball effect. So, unless NVC hires more workers and/or goes into overtime (which is unlikely), then time frames will either stay constant or get worse. Without any implementations, the time frames will only return to "normal" when USCIS stops sending them as many cases (simply due to the normal flow of cases being sent, not because USCIS stops sending them files).

You never know, they might all but stop processing I-130s for months on end again like they did last year.

Today is 30 business days exactly since my AOS checklist response was received by NVC. I just checked and my AOS fee is changed to N/A.

Last week a supervisor (Matty) told Ripu that NVC reviewers are working overtime (till 8PM) and also working on Saturday to deal with the overload. She also told that NVC has hired additional staff but they are getting too many files each day from USCIS and are struggling. In such a situation, why can't they issue CC and ask us to take revised I-864 form with us at interview. My wife and had sent the checklist reply on April 30th. Her email was never found in NVC system.

The checklist is for point 13a.1(Gross total income v/s Adjusted Gross Income).

They need to be smarter in reviewing the documents.

Although that can happen, there are still other visa types that go through NVC; it's not just IR-1/CR-1 applicants and/or those that filed an I-130.

Call NVC as you may have a case complete.

My wife talked to Samantha at NVC and she told her that they have not reviewed her email entered in the system on June 11th. She again told that they are falling way behind than the usual 30 business days. We are not sure if it is for EP cases. She asked Ripu to call by the end of this week.

Frustrating???????

Congratulations Jsumner86. It was frustrating to see your case being delayed for an error on part of NVC. Our case has also been delayed as NVC could not find my wife's checklist email sent on April 30th.

You deserve a big hug
