Hi all,

went in for the infopass appointment today. Service was very quick! The officer started out by saying the normal processing time is up to a year because they are delayed on every type of application except N400. Then she looked further, asked some questions, and told me the case is pending background checks. She also submitted an inquiry which goes to a supervisor. It asks that the case be looked at and a decision be made, if possible. If the last step is just to review everything and make a decision, then that's what they will do. However if they are still waiting on background checks, we will have to wait until that is finished, and it cannot be rushed. Praying it will be soon!!! She did say our case was worked on last month.....

Glad you did the infopass app. So the background check is for petitioner or beneficiary?

Please keep us updated. Praying for fast approval for you.

Perhaps I'm speaking out of turn but it is not meant that way. I think that it is probably an error on the website saying they are working on January 2014. People have phoned them and been told they a

They won't review your package until you submit DS-260. But at least if you send your package beforehand, NVC can review your package right away without wasting one or two days for delivery time.

Why did NVC lock your case? I was wondering since many people's case are getting locked. Are they reviewing the case?

Are you sure they don't start reviewing documents in package until after DS-260 is completed?

From what I heard from NVC, it is a parallel process... supposedly meaning they don't need to wait for IV to be submitted before starting to look through package contents. They do obviously need to view DS-260 before case complete.

I'm not certain though about the process.

If you guys have any questions specifically for me,

I will be glad to help via private message.

It's really ambiguous. One said they review it even before you're done paying IV fee, one said after. From what I know is it's after you are done with IV fee and DS-260 then NVC is ready to review tour package. I've read somewhere that someone got case complete only 10 days after he was done with DS-260 although he sent his package way before. So I'm not sure. The most important thing is you do what you have to do. Sent all the docs needed, filled out the form and then wait for the 30 days review phase while praying hard. :D

Yea, here is an example... taken from K & V's signature on the NVC thread, showing a difference of only 7 days from completion of DS-260 and apparently case completion:

"August 8th 2015: Mailed AOS/IV package. AOS Invoice marked as "Paid" on website

August 12th 2015: Received email - Scan Date (August 10th)
...
August 19th 2015: IV Invoice marked as "Paid" on website. DS-260 available (Completed DS-260 August 20th)
August 27th 2015: AOS Fee changed from "Paid" to "N/A" - Case Complete!"

When you say "wants me back," have you been to the States before? I think I will be optimistic for you and say you will be together for thanksgiving as well! :)

Amen!

Yes, I was there for my masters and then OPT. I had to go back to my country because my dad got terminally sick and passed away 15 days after I arrived in Indonesia. We were planning to do AOS from the US but God has other plan so here am I now 'stuck' in Indonesia. :)

Amen!

Yes, I was there for my masters and then OPT. I had to go back to my country because my dad got terminally sick and passed away 15 days after I arrived in Indonesia. We were planning to do AOS from the US but God has other plan so here am I now 'stuck' in Indonesia. :)

Ohh yes, I remember your story now... God has a plan for each of us, though we may not understand now or later. I think this time away from spouse is a blessing in disguise, something to look back and reflect on and tell children about.

If you guys have any questions specifically for me,

I will be glad to help via private message.

They won't review your package until you submit DS-260. But at least if you send your package beforehand, NVC can review your package right away without wasting one or two days for delivery time.

Why did NVC lock your case? I was wondering since many people's case are getting locked. Are they reviewing the case?

I have no idea. Ever since I've been at NVC they have been saying it's locked. There explanation is it's new and they are still putting our info into the system. i just don't know if i need to just keep calling and trying to get different people or if they really just can't. I'm going to call again today and hope I get somewhere.

How long does it typically take for them to review the DS260 if they can't do it over the phone?

How where you notified?

If NVC notified you that's your scan date.

If your shipping company shows it was delivered that day,you have to wait for NVC.
