NVC Filers - August 2016

[Harry13 4]

Scan Date 07/11. Past 30 days today, no CC yet

Getting really impatient.

Today is the day for you. You will get your CC today.

I see that "Foreign State of Changeability" has appeared on the CEAC page below Case Number, Visa Class and Current Processing Site (top right of the page). Anybody know whether this could indicate I've been added to the queue for interview or the interview has been scheduled? I don't remember seeing this when the 3 N/As appeared.

Foreign state of Chargeability and Current Processing site was there even before CC. One thing that will change once your case gets sent over to the embassy, the current processing site will go from 'NVC' to your embassy name.

"Foreign State of Chargeability" has always been there for me, and am still waiting for CC. But you should call NVC and check if they've scheduled your interview yet.

I got my CC confirmed verbally on Monday. No email or letter yet. How long does that take?

My CC was 8/1 and I received email on 8/9. I think it is taking a week to get CC email.

Thank you, eljourney and frakina! The whole waiting is making me look for a sign, ha! I'll wait for a while longer before calling as it seems the embassy is scheduling until the middle of the month.

It is very frustrating to see others receiving their CC within 30 days of submitting documents.

Called the NVC again asking for an update, apparently they haven't reviewed the DS260 yet but the documents have been reviewed.

I ask them what it taking so long, their reply is that processing time was changed on May 25th, now it takes 6 weeks to review the case.

I told the rep that I am on my 7th week since I submitted the documents and close to 6 weeks since I filed the DS260. Then she said it should be reviewed by this Friday and I should call back on Monday to see if the case has been reviewed.

Then I asked her about the "missing marriage certificate", she responded saying it should take an additional 6 weeks to review just the marriage certificate. I told her that I've resent the marriage certificate and it should arrive by Friday (hopefully before they start reviewing the DS260).

At this point, I do not understand why it should take 6 weeks just to review the marriage certificate (which I sent in with the package but apparently is missing) AND I never received any checklist either through email or mail.

Should I request an expedite? Since they never sent any checklist, my documents were reviewed on June 21st. And some reps said the certificate was there, other said it was missing.

Just called NVC for my case number. Firstly she told me that I have to wait 2 weeks. I told her today is 2 weeks. She said "no we received your case on July 28, that's not 2 weeks." I politely, but firmly, reminded her that July 28 was a Thursday and today is Thursday 2 weeks later. She told me to call back Monday. I will be calling tomorrow.

Call later today, they might have something by 5PM ET.

Thanks for the advice. I will call later. Hopefully the next agent has a calendar on her desk and can see that July 28 was 2 weeks ago.

Anyone know why some people get scan date emails and others don't (from what I understand)? I have documents received as August 3, but haven't heard anything from NVC. I don't want to deal with calling them because I don't think it will improve anything... just curious.

I'm a little behind because we had to wait longer than expected to receive police clearances... but I'm going to visit my husband on Sunday! SO excited! And that should make the process of NVC waiting fly by, even though it's just a ten day visit.

So I just got my LND case number!!! We are finally moving forward again.

However, the very helpful and friendly man I spoke to (Angus) said that I need to wait 6 weeks for the welcome letter. Is that right? I don't see anyone here waiting 6 weeks for that. Or is that just the official line to stop people calling all the time?

That's what they told me as well, just the boilerplate response I bet. I got ours the evening of the next day. The AOS fee wasn't invoiced until around that time either. Did you get the Invoice ID Number as well? You can submit DS-261 in the meantime.

I am really sick of the "6 weeks" response they have for everything. I've seen a lot of people getting their case completed (or docs reviewed in case of checklists) in exact 30 days. We're just past that, and still got the same "6 weeks" response today - though the agent did say they have started reviewing the documents.

"Six weeks" seems to be their favourite phrase at NVC.
