We're under Supervisor Review because NVC did not review out documents in the stated 30-days. No checklist, missing docs, etc.

We are also under supervisor review because NVC did not review our documents within the 30 day initial review. We have been on supervisor review since September 29. Today I called and asked to speak to a supervisor. The representative put me on hold and then came back and said she spoke with her supervisor, who said she would locate my mail and I should call back Tuesday or Wednesday next week. Hoping this means they will actually review my documents but who knows!

I called NVC on August 28, 2015, after 30 day wait to check on the status. The told me that nothing had been done and that they would escalate my case to a supevisor and that it would take up to 42 days. TODAY the 42 days are up . I just called the NVC and they told me that the supervisor did NOT review anything and that they wouild need to put a nother request por a supervisor to review my case......and that it can take up to another 42 days.....Is this crazy or what????? Any HELP!!!!!

Hello, my husband and I are in the same boat. We got our NOA2 on June 15, 2015, and our attorney told us that we would get a "fee bill" within 30 days. We never got the bill. I waited a few weeks thinking maybe they were slow. Finally on August 6th, we sent an email to the NVC, per our attorney's advice. She said it would take 30 - 60 days for a reply. As of this week, we have never heard a word. The attorney said she had never had a client not get their fee bill. We finally called the NVC earlier this week and a worker there found our file, and said that if we had not called, nothing would have ever happened with our file. She could see no reason that it was just sitting there. She escalated to a supervisor and told us it would be 42 days.

I'm pretty irritated at the attorney who said that email was the best way to reach the NVC and the posters on this forum clearly do not agree. Paid all this money to someone who is supposed to expedite this stuff, and we are waiting months with nothing happening, and then we called and got through on our first try and found out that we could have called 75 days ago on this. Grrr.....

this is my first forum post ever. The NVC rep gave us a case number that starts with the letters VAC, and she also gave us an invoice ID #. Can anyone fill me in on what those things are? Are those things that go on my timeline?

Just got on the same boat. My wait has been ridiculously long.

Info/timeline

EB5

China mainland born

Been in the US since 2008, always maintained status (F1,OPT, adjustment of status)

Approved 526 in July 2014, priority date July 2013.

Filed 485 AOS IN late August, 2014, fingerprints 09/14

Interviewed 04/15, short, nice interview, some chit chat, reason was because my school didn't report my status to USCIS, I told them that I was on OPT then I will be on EAD, I told them where I lived, my employer, and my position.

A supervisor was called when the officer wasn't sure if he should interview me as I live in a different city, but I put my attorney's office address as my contact address in case I miss any letters. Supervisor said since I was already there, they can interview me. He photo copied my IDs and I ask if there was ANYTHING else, he was very polite and said no, if so they will contact me, then wished me a good drive back home.

10/22/15 my atterny's office hired someone to visit the field office they believe my file was in. Then they were told that my filed was with national service center. My paralegal called the national office and was told "if 15-30 days later, no response, call back".

12-1-15 - paralegal called and then she emailed , She got a response from the email saying that " thank you for reaching out your case has is being transferred to a supervisor for review " and nothing else.

That was the timeline.

Neither my paralegal or myself received any RFE during this entire time. It has been 7 months since the interview and 14 months since the initial filing. I am concerned, but I would like to hear you guys' opinion on:

1. Should I be concerned

2. Should I contact a senitor

My paralegal has arranged a meeting with me and one of her attorneys in about 10 days . But I do want to get outside opinion because I feel like there were things that we should have done that I didn't do such as contacting a congressman or a senitor.

I don't have any info on why this case is being reviewed by a supervisor, some online posts suggest it's a bad thing which happens right before the Ni it's a bad thing which happens right before the denial , some suggest it's fairly common , some suggest the information we received from the email does not entail anything ...

After 36 days from our scan date, today I decided to call NVC to get an update. The rep told me she will put my case under "Supervisor Review" and the time frame for that is 45 days.

She didn't say anything about checklists, missing documents or anything. She also told us something like "This doesn't mean it will take 45 days, it could be less than that."

So sad... hope our "Supervisor" gets our case soon...

When our case was stuck at supervisor review from June 25th (or around there), I thought we were the only ones with this problem but I'm sad to see that it seems to be a growing issue at NVC.

You can have a read through my signature, but we were basically stuck at NVC from June 25th, when the NVC rep put us on Supervisor review, and then we didn't hear anything from NVC until November 13th, when we got cc. So we were stuck in the Supervisor review lottery for almost five months and the only reason we got cc was because we involved our Senator.

All the things posted here, we were told too. In the beginning when we called we were told we had to wait the 42 days, then we were told several times that our case was with the supervisor and being reviewed "this week", then once they realized that our case had been under supervisor review for 50/60/70 days and so on, they started saying it should be reviewed "any day now".... Don't believe a word the NVC reps on the phone say, most of them will say anything to get you off the phone. We kept calling and emailing (which is no point because after our third email, we realized it takes about 90 days to get a reply to any email), we demanded to speak to a supervisor etc etc. After almost 90 days on supervisor review, we contacted our Senator and his team made a request to NVC on our behalf. Our case then moved from this incredibly incompetent supervisor and to a special team that deals with Senator requests. It took that team exactly 42 days to review and complete our case.

When on supervisor review, it seems that either you hear something within 45 days or you have to fight your way to cc. We waited to involve our Senator because we tried other things first but my best advice to give to anyone stuck on supervisor review for more than 45 days, involve your Senator straight away on day 46.

Jontytyt, once the supervisor has reviewed your case, you're suppose to get either cc or a checklist.

Edit: If you haven't done so already, start keeping a log of every time you contact NVC and what they say. We included this with our request to the Senator.
