So, BAM, everything has been sent, and now i just get to gnaw on my nails until I hear back.

Took me more than an hour to complete and review the DS-260 with a few minutes researching specific questions here and there, even having all my information ready...for those of you who haven't gotten to the DS-260 yet, I strongly suggest going to the guides and/or looking at the sample form available on the government site, so you can gather up all the information you'll need ahead of time.

Yuppp, same here! Well, not exactly the same. Scan date, 9th of Sept and got checklisted because they managed to lose our documents :) We got put on supervisor review on the 4th of Oct, after we complained that it's not fair to get checklisted for their mistake. Of course, we are still waiting for them to find our documents but in the meantime we did send another set of documents.

Honestly, you freaking out it won't help solve your case sooner. Just calm down, call them on Monday and insist to talk to the supervisor that is handling your case. Explain what's the situation and see what they will say.

Don't get me wrong, i'm also pissed off and was in a bit of a depression the week after the checklist, but being like that it aint helping with anything. Just makes things worse. So, relax, take a deep breath and don't worry! We are close to the finish line :)

hii..i have the same situation got false checklist..i already sent the document..now when lawyer called they put me on supervisior review..do you think i should them documents anyways even they put me on supervisor review ?is your case closed ?

And thanks for the update. Our scan date is 29 September (exactly one week later) so I'm hopeful that our timeline ends up similar to yours and we can get case complete before the end of the month when the next interview scheduling should happen

I second this post...because it actually took me two days to complete.

I thought I had all the information even with the sample ds 260, but between my work schedule and the time difference between my husband and I, when I was working on it, he was sleep, so I had to send him the questions with info I needed.

But I will say reviewing the sample provided on the travel.state.gov website is super helpful!

Hi bond1980! No, my case is not closed yet, unfortunately!

So, we are also on supervisor review and after waiting for almost 2 weeks for them to find our "missing" documents, we decided to send them again anyways. We thought that what if after 42 days they will tell us that they couldn't find our documents? It will be 42 days wasted for nothing! So, we sent again the police certificates and my birth certificate (these were the "missing" files) and on the 14th they received them. I assume that reseted our scan date, again! Our first scan date was 9th of September and now it's 14th of October. My husband will call tomorrow morning and see if he can get a supervisor on the line and he is planning to ask for expedite, since it was their fault that they lost our documents.

I can't tell you honestly what's the best thing to do, but from our point of view it was better to just send them the papers again and wait for 30 days for them to process again our case and hopefully get a CC.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

I honestly don't think it is a coincidence. It seems like after people call (especially if they are over the estimated times) they get good news very shortly afterwards. But congrats either way on being one step closer!

So after a week of my IV bill showing in IN PROCESS, I decided to call NVC last night. Similar to Greg Phan, they gave me the old schtick of it takes up to 7 days for the IV to bill to get processed and that I should give it a couple more days. Interestingly, the operator did get off the phone and told me to hold on while she reviews my case.

Anyway, woke up this morning and boom, IV invoice is showing PAID.

Lol...perhaps not a coincidence at all.
