Case Completed At NVC

[florida-photo 0]

Our case has been completed by NVC and will be forwarded to to Bogota shortly!

Here is some important information for those of you waiting for their cases to be completed by NVC:

The automated system apparently does NOT have updated information. I called NVC this morning because it seemed to be taking a little longer than normal for NVC to complete our case. I received the same automated message which has been on there for about 3 weeks "NVC has completed the review of your documents and has found some information missing or incomplete. The NVC mailed a letter on Jan 17th indicating what info is missing...." That is the bogus message which most everybody seems to be getting. NVC's asks for the DS-230 even though it was received weeks earlier. I decided to speak with an operator this time just to make sure that there was nothing additional I needed to know. She informs me that our case was completed on Feb 1 and will be forwarded to Bogota shortly! Our case was completed 5 days ago and the automated system still does not reflect our correct status. Those who have been waiting about a month since sending in their DS-230 may want to call and speak with an operator at NVC.

That's awesome news!! Congratulations

I was just posting elsewhere this morning that my DS-230 was generated on January 29, and the automated system is still not updated. I wish I had called them last week I could have saved myself a week and sent of my DS-230, oh well, it's there now!

Hope you get an interview soon!

That's great news! Congratulations! I hope you get an interview date assigned soon! By the way, does NVC assign it for you or does the local consulate do that? I dont know if there's a difference? For Canada, it's assigned at the NVC.

Congratulations, Mark!

You and I were thinking the same thing this morning, because I called also. I didn't take the extra step of talking to a live operator. Since my case has been a few days behind yours, I may wait until next week to call.

Hopefully, you and I will get to hang out in Bogota together...

Riblet: It sounds like the automated system is not updating for other issues as well. They must be having some problems. It actually did update for us when the DS-230 was generated. It's a good thing you inquired about the status of the DS-230 because sometimes it takes a long time to receive it in the mail.

Our Mao: In Colombia I guess it is a little different than Canada because the Consulate schedules the interview. It normally is scheduled about 2 months after NVC completes the case.

Thanks DevBlt and Looking4Wife!

Looking4Wife: You may want to call THIS week. You were only 4 days behind me on when the "official" received date and I was approved 5 days ago. It may be approved already.

Congrats Mark, looks like they are still running at about 4 weeks for approval. I was wondering about the update on the recording as well. In any event, I am looking at the 16th of the month for my 4 week day so hopefully can find something out soon thereafter. I will email you this week but great to hear you are on your way. Sounds like you will miss the March interviews unless they get it sent really quick.

Similar situation... I just talked with "Zoe" at NVC. She told me my review was completed today, 2/6/2007, although the automated msg says that they are waiting on missing info.

She said my case will be sent to the embassy within 2-4 weeks (March 6 at the latest). So, naturally, I inquired why would it be so long before shipping my case to the embassy since the review is already completed... she said because they ship the cases to the embassy in bulk, not one at a time...

Doug: You should be hearing something real soon. I would anticipate our interview will be sometime in April depending on when the NVC sends our case to Bogota. There is still a slight possibility for the end of March, but pretty unlikely since February is a short month. I can handle it either way. I'm just happy our case got completed.

Looking4Wife: Congratulations on NVC completing your case! I might be seeing you in Bogota. I think our cases will be sent to Bogota sooner than 2-4 weeks. They seem to always over estimate timelines at the NVC. Many times cases are sent out in about a week, but we'll just have to see what happens.

Mark call the inqury number at 202-663-1541 and then press 0 when you hear the automated system. I talked to a lady yesterday and she said when NVC approves the case it is sent over the system with the case number. Then they send the hard copy packet to Bogota and it takes Bogota about 1 week to match everything after the receive it and get things ready to make the interview date. Bogota has had our case since 29 Jan and now we are just waiting for the interview date. Call that number and see what the operator says......Good luck Matt
