I need help i actually got a letter from nvc saying it Will at least 60 days for them to review my case. Does this happen to everyone? Or are they now just delaying cases, just so desperate I've been in the whole process 10 months ugh

But NVC stated they sent it on the 12th to the consulate. They no longer have it.

Long as you are sure. We were told 3 separate times it was gone. When in fact they actually still had it. Hope you are on the way.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Apologies for the side question, but where do you get your case number or application ID? We have NOA2 from two weeks ago. We have a receipt number but that's it.

Thanks!

For those who are asking questions that are not related to packages being shipped from NVC to a consulate, it is advised you start your own post in order to make your question easily seen by others.

In terms of me, our DHL package is from NVC to Embassy, in Europe, is as follows:

Received interview letter in the late afternoon (US Eastern Time) of September 11, 2014

Case file was prepared for shipment on September 12

DHL picked up the package on the afternoon of September 15 (the delay was due to fact that Sept 12 was a Friday)

Package was received by the Embassy on the afternoon of September 17 (European Time)

Embassy sent us a email on September 24 stating what documents need to be brought to the interview.

In terms of CEAC, the status was updated from:

"At NVC" to "In-Transit" on September 16

"In-Transit" to "Ready" on September 18

Touched again (and still Ready) on September 23

Here is the information regarding the cases for my in-laws (wife, their daughter, is the petitioner under the IR-5 category, Parents of a USC):

Submit I-130 (2 petitions) to USCIS on May 30, 2013

USCIS approved the cases on March 10, 2014.

Received notice online from USCIS the cases were sent to NVC on March 17, 2014.

NVC received the cases on March 28, 2014

The case numbers were created on Monday, April 28.

We received the numbers by phone on Friday, May 2.

DS-261 became available on both cases late in the evening on Friday, May 2. Both DS-261 filed on Saturday, May 3.

Received emails to my wife regarding AOS at around 8am on Wednesday, May 7. At the same time received emails that were cc of letters sent to my in-laws. However, the date of all of the letters was Monday, May 5.

Received emails regarding the Immigrant Visa Fee at around 11:15am on Wednesday, May 7. IV fees became available online at around 1pm on Wednesday, May 7. Date of invoice was Tuesday, May 8.

Paid all the fees on Wednesday, May 7 at around 1:15pm.

All fees marked as paid and DS-260 become available sometime late on Friday, May 9.

Dropped off IV and AOS packages (in two different envelopes - 1 for AOS and 1 for IV documents) at the local post office at around 2pm on Saturday, May 10.

Submitted DS-260 (for both cases) around 10am on Sunday, May 11.

Both document packages received by NVC on Monday, May 12 (according to Post Office Tracking - one around 1pm and the other around 4pm. Don't know why they got separated.)

Received checklist email for both cases at 4pm on Thursday, June 12 regarding the IV civil documents

Wife called NVC in the afternoon of Friday, June 13 to inquire about the checklist. Told by a representative they are normal and automatic and not to worry. AOS under review. Call back after Tuesday, June 24.
Received a checklist for my father-in-law on Monday, June 16. NVC reviewed his AOS paperwork, but waiting for the documents the requested the week before.

Wife called NVC in the morning of Tuesday, June 17. Told by the agent they don't have the document requested for dad, and they don't have the AOS package for her mom.

Put in a request with our Senator to get more information. Response was mother-in-law is documentary complete and father-in-law was in document review for the military document.

Wife called NVC on the morning of Tuesday, July 1 and spoke with a supervisor regarding her dad's military document. Supervisor said she would look into it.

Supervisor called us and left a voicemail on the morning of Wednesday, July 9 and stated they have located my father-in-law's military documents. Case sent back to document review.

Per conversation with an agent, the expedited request originally requested by email on July 7, was sent to the Embassy on Thursday, July 10.

Received by postal mail on Thursday, August 21 from our Senator regarding the response of another inquiry. Still the same.

Early in the morning on Friday, August 22:

Wife calls the Embassy and was told the IV section doesn't accept calls, and was given a number in the states that turned out to be scheduling assistance for NIV interviews.

Called NVC as soon as they opened and was told the Embassy denied the expedite request, but the case was completed by NVC on Monday, August 18. Wife inquired about interview scheduling, and was given some good information.

At 5 PM on Thursday, September 11, received the interview letters. Interview is scheduled for the morning of October 9.

Mother-in-law approved. Father-in-law placed in Administrative Processing due to follow-up TB test.

CEAC stated ISSUED for my mother-in-law on October 15. DHL had the package for pick up on October 17 but called the wrong number. Package picked up on October 27.

On December 11 mother-in-law received a phone call from the Embassy that the medical is back for my father-in-law and to DHL his passport to them. Passport sent on December 12.

On December 18 CEAC updated to ISSUED for my father-in-law. My wife is happy!!!! Embassy said they gave it to DHL on December 19

Due to a DHL delay the package did not become available for pick up until December 24. USCIS Immigrant Fee paid the same day.

POE: JFK Terminal 1 - December 26, 2014 - They are finally here!!!

Took them to a local SSA office to get SSN on January 6, 2015. Cards received on January 10, 2015.

Green Cards received by priority mail on January 23, 2015 (four weeks after arrival).

Both went to motor vehicles and got state issued ID cards on April 11, 2015.

Touched again (and still Ready) on September 23

If NVC updates the CEAC with "In Transit" i'm wondering if they ever sent it yet and they are just verbally telling me they sent it.

We had to ask the direct question. "Are we in AP'.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

All this time I was checking CEAC website under the "NON IMMGRANT" visa and our case was under the "IMMIGRANT VISA" under the status of READY. KI visas are NON IMMIGRANT. i Don't understand why they put it under IMMIGRANT. And the status has been ready since the 16th. I'm more upset that NAPLES said they haven't got anything yet. So what are the looking under.....NON IMMIGRANT VISA as well?
