The NVC site says to expect a 45 day review time. I've read a lot of posts here saying the review time is even down to 30 days lately, so when I got this letter this morning, I was so disappointed. AT LEAST 60 days? :clock:

The National Visa Center (NVC) received your documents on 28 – APRIL – 15.

We are currently receiving an increased number of approved petitions from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. As a result, we are experiencing increased review times for documents received.

We expect it will be least 60 days from the date we received your mail before we complete the review of your documents. We will notify you when we review your documents.

We are working to reduce this processing time and we appreciate your patience.

i believe this is an automated email and hasn't been updated to the new review times. I called the NVC when they received my documents and the rep quoted 30 days to review documents now.

I got that same email last month. Then got a case closed 2 weeks later. I was also a bit upset when I got the letter, turned out for no reason. Hang in there, it will be over soon. For me, we got a two week notice for the interview. After the documents all got sent to the NVC, everything happened very fast.

I'm very encouraged now. We first began this visa process 8 months ago, and it feels like it's been years. I'm so ready to have my husband here and start a REAL life.

How did you learn when your documents were scanned? Did you call to ask, or do they send an email to let you know? I'm assuming the date they acknowledge receiving the package isn't necessarily the date they scan it.

They send an e-mail stating that they received your documents in such date, and then they tell you it is going to take at least 60 days:(

Here is the scan date to case complete spreadsheet...looks like the NVC is running under 25 days. I know we have gone from scan date to case complete to interview in less than the expected 60 days for case complete. Honestly, when we got to the NVC, I was hoping we would be finished by August....now I am hoping to be done sooner than that.

NVC needs to update that letter they're sending out!

I looked at the spreadsheet and now my hopes are so high. :-)

Probably not going to update their letter. I would rather be told 60 days and finish in 30 days, then be told 30 days and finish in 60 days.
