NVC Filers - August 2014

[Olives24 9]

Woohoo! IV Fee updated on our case and I paid it! I can finally complete my AOS and IV package in the next few days and send them to the NVC.

Congratulations!

I hope I can pay the fee soon too!

I think they are finally getting through them. I hope you get your soon as well.

I know I have the same feeling so many times and I feel like this process has made me selfish and brutal. But even though I m happy for those people I feel furious at seeing approvals in 2 weeks when I compare it to my 10.5 months of waiting! I m happy u can take a break and forget this bullshit for a while!! Relax and have a great time!! :)

As one of the two-weekers (I swear I did nothing different it's just pure dumb luck as you know), I can tell you right now I would feel exactly the same way if I was you. I would look at me and be so envious and angry and feel like it was so unfair. I do not think these feelings are unjust or out of line at all. And I agree with the poster above you, it would be VERY hard to feel happy for ones such as me. You poor things. *hugs*

Thank you for being so understanding. And we have nothing against u at all or all the people who got lucky. It's not their fault. It's just the system which is cruel and unjust. But u do have the good luck in the rest if ur process as well

Not quite! It was just a timeline thing. Because we are in Australia, the NOA1 date RECEIVED was the 5th of August but it was approved on the 17th of July. The NOA2 timeline field asked for "approved" but we had to put received date in because otherwise it would have been BEFORE the received date of the NOA1, lol! Stupid post! So it went like this:

i-130 received 14 July (post tracking site)

NOA1 issued 17 July

NOA1 received 5 August by post

NOA2 approved 28 July

NOA2 received 11 August by post

Just called NVC to see what they had to say this week. I spoke to Dale, he confirmed my scan date to be 7/15 for AOS and IV (I have a lawyer) and he said that due to the volume of cases which they are trying to cut down, it is likely that it will go past the 30 biz day mark and will unlikely be done before the end of August. He also said my 60 days is September 15th. I hope it's not as long as that as I was praying and knocking on wood to get CC and make October interview scheduling, but now November looks more likely.

Also I read but don't post too often... Where is Solenta?!

[altito 63]

Ok, AOS packet sent today.

Now, just to wait IV invoice becomes available, How long does it take? Especially in these recent months will all the backlog....Does anyone have an approximate idea?

I think on each notice of action, there's always a date on it, I guess that's the date you should input into your timeline and not the received date.

According to your timeline, you got approved August 11th, and NVC received your case file August 8th???? It doesn't add up.

CMR = Complete Moratorium on Reviews

DR = Delayed Reviews

Haha. This made me laugh... Soooo true though!

Scan date was either June 26 or June 30 - we never really got a clear answer on that one.

That seems a little harsh, hehe, I promise I wasn't being purposefully deceptive but yes okay I went and had a look at the timeline and I see where I went wrong. On the timeline where it says "receipt" and "approved", I thought that meant when *I* received the NOA1, and when the approved date for the NOA2 was which in hindsight doesn't make any sense! I wondered why, when I first did it, it told me the two dates were out of order, lol! I fixed it now, it is correct, NOA1 date is 17 July and NOA2 is 28 July. I hope this has cleared things up.

I am fairly new to this site and though I normally consider myself to be a person of reasonable intelligence, I find a lot of things both on the site and to do with the visa process kinda baffling! I am trying to read as voraciously as possible but I still feel like a flailing fish out of water, especially compared to people who have been less fortunate in terms of their wait time so who have had more time to learn the ropes

Oh, same here. we filed our i-130 18 months ago and still at the beginning of the NVC process.

I keep asking myself what lesson should i learn from this experience?? Each step makes me so nervous I as expect any obstacle that might delay it even further.

My husband tries to come visit us as often as he can. and I am just exercising my patience and always happy to see people getting approved. That gives me hope that on day i will be there.

I thought no one was waiting as long as me but how wrong I was. Waiting 17 months here and have seen husband only twice in this entire time, since our marriage. Total time spent with husband is less than a month, missed anniversary, birthdays, festivals...

I didn't mean to be harsh am sorry if I sounded harsh. I was kinda wondering if NVC have started receiving petitions before approval

This immigration process is really messed up and unpredictable and its becoming unbearable, Please Pardon my outburst. I pray we all get thru this process as quickly as possible.

Of course! I totally understand. I am so sorry this has been so stressful for so many people reading some of the stories in here just breaks my heart.

Wouldn't it be weird and slightly concerning if they were approving them before receiving them?! >_> maybe big brother really is watching ... But no, it was just my lack of comprehension of how the timeline worked.

I sincerely hope it's not too much longer for you.
