My biggest fear and the one that doesn't let me sleep and makes me feel physically sick while I'm awake. I have no peace. :(

If it happens... it happens. And when it does, it's only for a few weeks for most. If you can survive NVC, you'll sail through anything in the overall visa journey.

Usually, there are good solid reasons for very extended APs, and I doubt your case has any of those.

NVC's email has explicitly stated that "The US Embassy or Consulate is willing to expedite this case once we have all the fees, forms, and documents. We received documents for your case. Please allow 60 days for us to review your documents." This is a direct quote from the email I received on August 15.

The rep refuses to let my husband talk to the supervisor. Do you think contacting the embassy will do any good here? Thanks again. I added my timeline in the signature.

If the wording is exact as received from the embassy, then it only refers to collecting fees and forms and doesn't refer to form/document reviews. Keep trying to get to a supervisor and argue this point.

In the mean time, collect proof of submission of all fees/forms/documents to NVC and contact the embassy with all attached, arguing the same point. Conclude with pointing out that NVC is gutting their expedite decision with their misinterpretation and that the NVC review process currently takes 2-4 months after all fees/forms/documents are submitted. Maybe the embassy doesn't realize how backlogged NVC is.

Best of luck!

This is weird, because I'm pretty sure other expedites we've seen have just been sent straight to the embassies, even if there is stuff pending review. They just warned the beneficiaries they'd have to take the un-reviewed items to the interview themselves since NVC would take a while to mail it back to them.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

This is weird, because I'm pretty sure other expedites we've seen have just been sent straight to the embassies, even if there is stuff pending review. They just warned the beneficiaries they'd have to take the un-reviewed items to the interview themselves since NVC would take a while to mail it back to them.

Exactly! My husband and I have told that to NVC many times, and their response is that they cannot sort through thousands of mail that get every day and that we should be more appreciative of them working overtime to process all the cases. I will call the embassy on Tuesday (once they are all done with their Labor Day weekend), and try to convince them to do something, but I am not very hopeful... Thanks everybody for the advice and good wishes!

My timeline for NVC processing:

May 4, 2014 Submitted DS261

May 7, 2014 Paid AOS fee

May 12, 2014 Received an email confirming that my DS261 (agent registration) form has been processed

May 15, 2014 Paid IV fee

Last scan date: July 22, 2014 NVC received my IV and AOS packages (mailed together), date confirmed in the email on Aug 5, which also told me that it will take at least 60 days to process

July 25, 2014: Submitted DS260

August 6, 2014 Requested an expedite

August 8, 2014 Got an email from NVCExpedite asking for two phone numbers

August 8, 2014 Responded with two phone numbers

August 15, 2014 Received an email from NVCExpedite which states: "The US Embassy or Consulate is willing to expedite this case once we have all the fees, forms, and documents. We received documents for your case. Please allow 60 days for us to review your documents."

August 15, 2014 Called NVC, the rep told my husband that while the Embassy has agreed to expedite my case, NVC will still take at least 60 days. The reason that NVC cannot do it any faster is because they cannot sort through all the mail to locate my case.

September 16, 2014 Got a checklist for a divorce decree, the original of which I submitted. They said it needs to have a stamp, even though it was issued by a US judge, whose office confirmed that their original decrees do not have stamps. [/background][/size][/font][/color]

September 29, 2014 Mailed a copy of the decree with a certification and stamp attached to it. The judge's office in Lancaster county, Nebraska, said that this is how they certify their documents. They still do not put stamps on originals or copies themselves.

October 2, 2014 Checklist scan date

October 17, 2014 AOS fee changed from "paid" to N/A

October 20, 2014 Case complete confirmed by calling NVC.

Do any of you guys remember who the VJ member was that was always talking about how depressed they were? I'm not sure why I've started worrying about this, but I know we haven't heard anything in awhile and I just don't know if it's because they've moved on or just stopped coming onto the forums. I tried to look back through the threads for the last couple months but there are just so many posts and I don't remember the last one I remember seeing from that member.

Anyone else recall?

I got a lot of question so please bare with me,

I've paid the AOS fees and today its marked as 'paid' now how long will i have to wait til i can pay the 'IV fee".

I already did my d-261 online how long will that take til NVC folks accept and review it?

Also, when will D-260 will be come available.

My case will probably got delayed since they got the embassy code mixed up, im assigned to embassy in Thailand even though we are living in Japan (i have no clue how they managed to mix it up when i send my husband military orders which clearly stated that I'm living with him in Japan). I have called and the operator told me to make a request to change consular by email with evidence by email which i did. But Anyone know how long thats going to take for them to change the consular?

thanks you all

This has happened to a few other people, including us. In our case it took nearly 2 months for them to change the embassy. That seems to be what it took in the other cases I know of.

You already got the only advantage your lawyer could get you (DS-261 bypassed, a huge advantage by the way), apart from legal advice to you. From now on, you fall in step with everyone else. Plan on 6-8 weeks of NVC foot dragging, maybe more.

In fact, your lawyer could cost you more time if he/she is not extra careful in filling the forms and submitting the documents. Study thoroughly Post #1 of this thread and insist on scrutinizing every bit of correspondence with NVC before your lawyer sends it out and request a duplicate to yourself as well.

I repeat... Study thoroughly Post #1 of this thread before anything gets sent to NVC.

Good to see you around even after getting done with NVC.

I was just wondering if I send me original documents to NVC for processing

- Will I ever get them back

- How will I present them to the Counsellor Officer at the Consulate During The Interview?

Guys , I am now running into Depression & anxiety

You have to collect all your originals at the interview and make sure you get them all.
