Good morning!!!

I just jumped out of my desk and almost hugged my co worker! LOL

logged on the CEAC website 3 N/A :dancing: on 3/15 took 5 DAYS FOR IT TO BE REVIEWED!!! FROM SECOND SCAN DATE

I mailed out the first package and scanned on 2/22/16 recieved a checklist emailed on 3/3/16

That' is 10 day apart.

However

We sent in our missing information before the checklist notification received on 3/1/16 scanned on 3/9/16 (called to verified)

Embassy is Ciudad Juarez - priority date 7/2/15

They are so incredibly stupid. They must have a bunch of Trump supporters working at NVC. I'm really sorry to hear that, it's heartbreaking isn't it? I'm with you mate, until we both get that gre

I want to clarify two questions about DS-261.

i) Do you need to appoint an agaent/attorney to receive your visa applicaton?

If my husband (petitioner) is filling out on behalf of me, then should I choose him as the one and give his details

ii) Did anyone assist you in filling out the the application?

Should I say No or Yes and give details about my husband(petioner), though he will be filling out.

Please help me out.

When your husband goes to login and complete the DS-261, he will choose that he is logging in as the Petitioner.

Choose Yes for the choose an Agent question and he will list himself with his information.

Since he will be the one filling out the form, he can choose NO that no one helped him fill it out. You provided him with the information but he filled it out.

Does anyone know, if is it´s normal after 15 days of I-30 approval, no news from NVC?

I was approved 1st march and my approval was not even received by NVC... Geeeezzzzz... I was waiting for more than 6 months my I-30 and now... The NVC started the "joke" with me...

:sleepy::sleepy::sleepy::sleepy::cry::cry::cry::clock::clock::clock:

Hi,

It can happen. It took 29 days from the date our I-130 was approved for the NVC to receive our case. But I believe on average it's about 1-2 weeks. Just keep calling until it's received. Hopefully they'll have it by the end of this week. :)

Hi, Kelly Xu

Yeah... I heard about this situation of the welcome letters... I´m more concerned because when I check my case status on USCIS site, it just show approved and not sent to Department of State or something else...

Ugh... that´s odd

I hope you will resolve that easily!

Good luck!!!

I mentioned it like that because that's what happened to me. I also mentioned it may have been a coincidence. the lady I spoke with over the phone kept saying she couldn't review it with me because "it hasn't been sent to you yet" but after I got the letter they reviewed it and the AOS fee was available. it's all in timing I supposed. Things will move quickly for you now.
