Hello everyone,

Around how long does it take for cases to be sent overseas? I have been checking constantly but it still says 'At NVC'.

They usually send your case about 3-4 weeks before the actual interview. We got our interview date on May 9th and it wasn't mailed out to the Embassy until May 20th, which is when our status changed to "In Transit". Embassy received it on the 24th at which point it changed to "Ready." Interview is on June 17th....2 weeks away! :)

Thank you LinJoe, How exciting!!! My husband's interview isn't until July 20th and I seem to already be feeling nervous about it haha. All the best of luck! You deserve to be happy after all the hell NVC put you through!

Congratulations.Was the case complete by phone or letter. I added you to spreadsheet with 5/31 if you called and got it. Now you have a little wait until interview assignment. But Jamaica is getting better.

Thanks :) It was by phone. Still waiting on the letter. I noticed Jamaica is getting better I just hope they keep that momentum.

Hi everyone! Hopefully there's a simple answer to my question... I got my Case Complete on May 26 and am still waiting for an interview to be scheduled.

I need to change my address but am worried it's going to be a complicated process. Is it difficult to do this with the NVC? Will they be able to apply the changes promptly?

Thanks in advance.

NVC is done with your case. the only thing they will do further with it is send it to the overseas embassy. Dwheels76 can validate or correct me for this but i think you can change your address at the interview because they will ask you to confirm where the green card should be mailed.

Thank you LinJoe, How exciting!!! My husband's interview isn't until July 20th and I seem to already be feeling nervous about it haha. All the best of luck! You deserve to be happy after all the hell NVC put you through!

I can relate! Interview is next week and getting super excited, yet anxious as well, just praying for everything to go smoothly. Quick question guys - I know this question has probably already been answered but just to ease my nerves, is there any particular relevance to your case being updated? My hubby's has been updated a total of 3 times since having the status of "Ready" once arriving at the embassy. So basically it's been touched 3 times......

Whooohooo! My husband got his passport back today with visa! But the American embassy in Ghana didn't contact him, he just had to go check.

Did it show his visa was issued. Then he went to DHL and checked?

Congrats and so happy he finally got his passport back.

Hey Amadia,

They asked me the tax transcript for 2014 & 2015. We submitted 2014 but up-to now IRS hasn't started issuing 2015. Anyway we emailed the 2014. And received the automated reply and another 'human' email day before yesterday. Waiting.. praying to God. What did they mentioned in their 'human' email? Pls pm me.

Cheers

The officer asked for several docs:

1. A job letter from my husband

2. A tax assessment from my husband off the IRS website

3. Form 1040 from my co-sponsor (father in law)

4. W2 from my father in law

He said that once I gathered everything I can mail it to the embassy along with the passports. I did so and the docs arrived at the consulate on Tuesday midday. Got an email confirming that the docs were indeed received by the embassy.

Only thing is I did not send any W2 since my father in law is self employed and would not get W2s....he did however get 1099s and these were already produced to the officer at the interview.

Fingers crossed for an ISSUED asap!!!! :D
