How did you know about it? Did you call or online N/A confirmation?

Just my routine nightly ceac check, then saw the AOS fee is N/A. Immediately I dialed NVC and waited for 30 minutes and it was confirmed after I asked them for any update. Oh yea, thank you!!

So I got flagged for a supervisor review 2 days ago. The rep that flagged my case wouldn't give me a time frame for how long it would take. Called back tonight "I want to know the status of my case". The rep confirmed without me saying anything my case had been flagged. I asked to speak to a supervisor, "one couldn't be found". Talked to the rep another minute and said I had been trying to speak to a supervisor for several days and had requested a callback and never got one, then asked again to speak to a supervisor again and he managed to "find" one. The supervisor said he'd forward my request to another supervisor but he couldn't do anything about it. Basically said it was my fault I'm in this mess because I sent docs before I submitted the DS260. Well if their website had been working the DS260 would have been submitted sooner and I wasn't expecting them to review my case in 11 freaking day. And said it could take up to 42 more days. I said flat out that it wasn't acceptable since they say it will only take 30 days and it had been over 30 days already and I knew that others had received CCs that had submitted doc after me. Since all the reps say they process cases in order in which they're received, either they're lying or something else is going on. Anyways this supervisor goes on to say that he wasn't actually available, he took my call because he wanted to help and he would call me back when my case is complete. I'm giving them another 2 days before I call back again.

Polite but insistent the whole time.

I also find it very frustrating when their phone system says it's approximately a 20 minute wait and it takes 40+ minutes before you actually get to talk to someone. I was in a much better mood after only 20 minutes on hold vs 40 minutes on hold.

It's completely ridiculous. You would think that if your case is moved to supervisor review that it would get priority, not another loooooong deadline longer than what it normally would take. 42 days is ridiculous to take 15 minutes to sit down and make sure papers are correct. I am considering getting my senator involved. If you're past the 30-day GIVEN deadline, you should receive priority. Complete BS. I'm so over this process and I cannot wait until I never have to deal with them again.

I was told by nvc representative that it is ok to mail the aos and iv documents before submitting the Ds 260, so I think that should not be a problem, if they review the case before seeing a Ds 260 in file it may just trigger a false error. I hope they give your case priority since their supervisor knows where the issue is. I also hope they don't review my docs until after they get my Ds 260. Good luck.

Hi, my advice is to call NVC, first to ask them if they received your case.. and if so, how long will it take them for a case #, most likely they will tell you an exaggerated time frame like up to 4 weeks, which is a lie! The time it takes is around a week to get your case # from the date they receive your case. But please go ahead and start calling now!!

Thank you. I already called NVC. The representative says that i have to wait 35days to get my case # :(
