Wow, 63 days. That is fast! Congrats. Seems the TSC is working miracles at times. Seems they've completely caught up with the backlog. The USCIS website shows normal 5 month processing times.

No they just show that we sent your case to nvc on june 17

Department of state is the same as NVC. Its weird that they haven't gotten your case as yet. They might have slowed down. When was the last time you called?

Hi The Burts

Has your file made it to the NVC?

I ask because I got confirmation my file made it and I didn't see your timeline updated.

It will take a very long time for NVC to notify you via email that they recieve your package. You can simple call to confirm that they got it. At this stage you should be proactive. Don't wait for them or you will be at NVC for months.

Following the guides I went through NVC pretty quickly.

MrsBurgz,

I just came back to thank you for your advice. My husband called and was told today that our files were received on 30th June but no further processing has been made yet.

What should we do in the meantime while we are waiting?

Great! In the meantime you should have everything ready to be sent to NVC as soon as you get your case # and Invoice #

In about 2 weeks you should have those numbers.

Hi The Burts did you called to nvc? Did you get your case no. too?

Hi Sofhi,

Okay, thank you very much. Do we have to call NVC about case # and Invoice # again?

Unfortunately yes, after you get it there is another call to review the ds-261 (choice of agent) then after your spouse mail the IV and AOS then another call to verify your scan date (date they receive your mail) after that you wait for 30-45 days for case complete. :thumbs:
