Thank you for the response! This is kind of what I was thinking. I actually did apply for an expedite and got a response that, while the embassy has agreed to expedite my case, I still have to wait for the 60 day processing with NVC.

I think you will have your interview scheduled as soon as you are done with NVC.

 

 

I'm the beneficiary, wife of USC.
12/30/2012: Got engaged.
1/16/2013: Got married in India.

I-130:
2/28/2013: Attorney mailed the I-130 from a U.S. address.
3/4/2013: Priority date, NOA1.
11/6/2013: Case was transferred to Nebraska Service Center.

1/6/2014: 60 days of transfer are up, put in an e-request, given 30 days' time. Contacted the senator. Senator asked to wait till Feb 6 and if nothing then she will do something.
2/5/2014: Website status changed to RFE.
2/10/2014: Attorney gets RFE. They need G325A and photos of both me and husband, original marriage certificate, copy of marriage record and it's translation.
2/15/2014: Mailed the requisite documents to husband.
2/19/2014: Documents received by husband.
2/24/2014: RFE mailed.
2/26/2014: Case status changed to RFE review.
3/6/2014: After 367 days, NOA2.

After approval kept calling NVC but NVC always had one reply, file was not in their system. Husband too called USCIS National Customer Service Center and was told case was sent to NVC.
4/2/2014: Write to NSCFollowup to know about the status of the petition.
4/10/2014: Put in a ?service request with USCIS starting with OVP to locate case.
4/16/2014: Reply from NSCFollowup that the U.S. law prohibited that office from responding to anyone other than the petitioner and to have the petitioner contact them.
4/18/2014: Sent email to NVC Research to locate the case.
4/22/2014: Petitioner sent email to NSCFollowup
5/14/2014: Receive email from NVC Research that they do not have a record of receiving the petition.
5/16/2014: Congressman's immigration caseworker contacted supervisor at NSC who said the petition is pending and will be dispatched in two weeks.
5/27/2014: Petitioner received response from NSCFollowup that the case was pending an internal extended review. Really?
6/19/2014: USCIS case status change, "On June 19, 2014, we shipped this case..."
7/1/2014: Case received at NVC.
7/14/2014: NVC case number assigned.

my wife is completing our AOS Documents now, while filling the form we are having a doubt

- should we fill the i864ez or just the i864. This doubt arises because we were not able to find a barcoded form for the i864ez but can find a barcoded one for i864. We fullfill all conditions for i864EZ but not able to find a barcoded version of that - Please Advice

Aos on July 8 and iv on July 11, they told me they didn't even open the Iv package yet. And they sent me the same checklist again which was for pcc tht was scanned on the 11th.

Maybe they lied to just get you off the phone. Looks like you got case complete but you will have to wait until Tuesday to call in. I have not seen anyone having their AOS fee change to N/A and not have a case complete.

I didn't even realize that there was no barcode on the I864EZ on USCIS website. The one I filed was that one though. Hope its OK.

HI Seylin

My husband got his citizenship and we have posted a letter to NVC, to upgrade our petition form F2A to IR, we posted the letter on 5 August 2014 and after a week i called to NVC and one representative told me to wait for another 60 days since the system doesn't show anything up to now, up to now they didn't received case number,

Again i call to nvc and a lady informed me they have receive my case on 11 August 2014 and still the case is under review and she told me stay for 60 days from 11 august 2014. and i asked from her still i didn't get a case number and she told me that nvc has sent a letter on 23 December 2013 informing visa not available with a case number CLM2013XXXXXX and as per her information that is my case number.

Again i called to nvc on 29/08/2014 and gentlemen answered and he told me still my husband citizenship not updated and and he told me there is no time frame.

So dear seylin can you tell me how long the nvc takes to finished the whole process.

I am from Sri lanka.

Thank you.

Does anyone know what they do with the two phone numbers they ask for during an expedite? Do they call the applicant? Should I tell my husband to be on the look out for a phone call or is this just for their records?

They haven't called me yet, but maybe they will once NVC is done with my paperwork I am at the interview stage, I don't know.

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.
