Hello

According to the NVC website they are saying the processing time for the AoS and IV packages are 2-4 weeks. If they find they need additional info it can be another 2-4 weeks after they get the answers.

Have you found that to be realistic?

Thanks

I was told 30 days by NVC representatives, and it has seemed to be true and take exactly 30 days to be reviewed.

Most ppl in here was told from around Dec. that the avg. time now was 45 days.

And still they say that when you call.

My wife asked last time she called if the 2-4 weeks and the 30 days in the letters are correct.

Out of the 4 ppl she talked to that they only one told her "yes" that's the right time frame, the rest said "up to 45 days"
