Were you signed up for the text/email alerts and they just didn't let you know?

I believe NVC actually posted something on their website that they are backed up and that it could take up to 60 days to "receive" - meaning, assign a case number. USCIS pushed through a lot of applications and now the avalanche of applications is at NVC. Also, since the computer crashed a few weeks back, they are not up to full speed yet.

IR/CR visas can take anywhere from a couple of months up to 5 months before it is sent off the the Embassy. Then you have another couple of months, roughly. You'll be quite busy with getting things put together once your packet is sent to the Embassy. The process is different for IR/CR1 than it is for K1 or K3...others going through IR/CR1 can give you a more accurate idea of what you'll need to do there.

Good Luck. The waiting is awful...but, like the rest of us, you'll hammer through it and, soon enough, this too shall pass!

NVC told me on the phone 2 weeks ago that due to the volume of the petitions coming in it could take up to 60 days. It will show they have received the packet, but it does not mean they have gotten to it. They are very backlogged right now. My question to them was about my response to an RFE..would it take that long?. They said ALL mail. They are swamped. I am hoping they are able to get some relief or hire some people to help with the extra case load!

NVC is a very slow (at least lately) and frustrating process. All you can do is wait and take it a day at a time.

You can get your AOS and IV package together while you wait.

USCIS

January 8th 2014 - NOA1

July 10th 2014 - NOA2

NVC

July 17th 2014 - Case shipped to NVC

July 30th 2014 - Case received by NVC

August 13th 2014 - Case number and IIN received by email

August 13th 2014 - DS-261 Form Completed

August 14th 2014 - AOS Fees Invoiced and Paid

September 17th 2014 - IV Fees Invoiced and Paid

September 19th 2014 - DS260 Completed

October 6th 2014 - AOS and IV Packages Received

November 28th 2014 - AOS and IV Checklist (4 items in total. 3 for documents they lost. Called on December 9 and a rep said no checklist for IV....go figure)

December 8th 2014 - Checklist scan date.

December 30th 2014 - Case Compl........NOT. So after not having an interview date yet, I called again on Jan 30th and apparently its in final review with a supervisor.

February 6th 2015 - Case Complete: Supervisor called from NVC to confirm everything has been completed now.

March 27 2015 - Interview Date

March 27 2015 - Approved!
