Wondering if anyone knows how long it takes the NVC to approve and send my DS230 package

to the embassy.

Is there somewhere to track the status of my case #? Could track my 1-130 but not my MTL #?

Thanks for any help you can offer me

NVC averages about a month to complete your case once it receives the DS230. Then NVC schedules your interview date with Montreal, which seems to be taking an average of 3 months from case complete.

Good luck :) Check out the Montreal Timeline thread in the Canada forum.

I spoke with someone from NVC today and they stated that the processing time from the receipt of the DS230 till case complete has changed. It is no longer 2-4 weeks but now 4-6 weeks. Sooo not what I wanted to hear, but I guess we will just have to wait and be patient. I hope eveything goes smoothly for you! Good luck with the rest of your journey.

To be honest with you I always heard from the NVC that it would take 4-6 weeks to process anything, but it always took less time. Both our I-864 and the DS-230 took about 3 weeks to get reviewed and sent to the embassy/consulate in Brazil. So don't believe everything you hear from them cuz they just give you a longer stretch of time to be on the safe side.

I would normally agree, I was told so many times that it would be 2-4 weeks, and that was the standing line I was fed. Then on one occassion when I rang the rep. said 4-6 weeks. I was taken back a bit so I asked them to repeat the time. "4-6 weeks, Maam" ARRRRRR!!!!! The time is stretched and to top it off I get called Maam!!! :o That word makes me feel so old! :lol:

I thought it was just another case of the rep. not knowing what they were on about. So I rang back a little later and asked again. Same response. I asked why the sudden change in processing time frame, and the rep (who seemed very polite and knowledgable and did not call me Maam) said that they were all given a memo stating that they had a back log due to the time off from the holidays. Our case has been processing for 2 weeks as of the 25th so who knows? I'll just be as patient as I can and wait it out.

Hope it goes quickly for us all!
