I didn't get the welcome letter yet from the NVC but I would like to know what documents should I prepare? And how long does the case take in the NVC to be complete or it just depends on certain factors?

Thanks

I filed for both of my parents in March. I sent both documents separte in the same envelope to Chicago. Both Files have been recieved in March 11.

My mom application was approved on June 14th

My dad form is still shown recieved.

Does the process time different between parents?

Can I call USCIS , are they responsive and helful? Or they just say under processing

Please advise

There is no reason to call USCIS. The cases are independent of each other. Perfectly normal for one to be approved before the other.

ucsis is not giving the correct answer they are saying that it can stil take upto 60 days to get it approved this is taking my breath but y are they taking so long on the case

but the case before me was approved with an RFE in 8 days then y is my case taking so longer it been 2 weeks since they received thy need to give us the correct and live answer

or

i have a feedback for them we wanna always talk to the our service center directly with our case status because uscis is not helping us in any way with the amount of Fee they charged for the services
