Payment made on 8/25 but system still showing processing and the amount clear my financial institution on 8/26. Does it really take that long for the website to show paid?

Hey jayisis, I'm replying here to help anybody else who may have the same question or concerns. Always check the NVC website for detailed information on the required documentation: http://travel.sta

I'm sure the -20 days trend will continue as it seems the NVC has been picking up the pace in August. If I have to give advice on organizing the AOS/IV package, make sure to... 1) Organize everythin

It is highly unlikely that your petition would be approved within a month. Think somewhere between 4 and 6 months. Also, this thread is for people who have already had their petitions approved and are

Yes. It took three days for me. It will probably be updated today. Try again in a few hours :-)

Took 6 days for me. And then I got a checklist after 11 days, my own fault though. :crying:

Hi katze101,

Thank you for replying.

May I ask why you got a checklist? I'm kind of afraid myself.

I called the NVC this morning to ask about my daughter's case. They said that it hasn't yet been sent for Supervisor Review (we called two days ago).

This time around the lady actually gave me wrong information saying that NVC does not send any response when people send documents anymore. I think she wanted to get rid of me.

I honestly don't know what else to do. I would understand if my own case was locked (I have lived in a few different countries), but my daughter is 8 years old.

There is no reason for case to be locked at DS-261 for 16 days :cry:

mine's been locked since 08/19/15 and I'm getting the same information! I just don't understand how suddenly some cases are just locked and no one knows anything.

I just got off the phone and I could hear the rep asking someone how to get it unlocked and it seems like they literally don't know.

Yes this is your scan date.

When did u sent?

I sent mine on 20th still no scan date.

I sent the Aos/iv package.. (see details in signature)

I suspect your stuff may be scanned already. Just call and ask them to locate it.. maybe they just didn't notify you

If you guys have any questions specifically for me,

I will be glad to help via private message.

Did you take a picture of your shipping label? What did you put for address?

Do you have a tracking number? Requested a signature?

So on 08/25/2015 I decided to email an expedited request.

I figured even if CC is done in 20 days I'll have to wait at least 1-2 months before an interview date is assigned.

I haven't gotten a response back at all from NVC or the Consulate (if they've even emailed it to them)

You guys think that's normal? Or should I email the NVC Expedite email again?

No. You will receive notification emain in 3-5 days from the date you sent the expedite request

Thanks ...

Question - I noticed on another post you made that you said you can REVIEW the DS260 over the phone with the NVC?

Am I reading that correctly and understanding it? The actualy IV Application (Which I have obviously already submitted) CAN BE REVIEWED OVER THE PHONE with NVC?

1) Can it be done?

2) Can a rep do it or do I have to get transferred to a supervisor?

3) How long does it take?

4) The AOS/IV packages will have to still be processed of course after that right?

5) Will it throw the system off if I do that? Or let the officer who is reviewing the packets complete the DS260?
