NVC Filers - October 2016

[chrmar 7]

FINALLY!!! Now for NVC phase. We should call it a soap opera and name it "As the Stomach turns".

Case Was Sent To The Department of State

On October 11, 2016, we sent your case, Receipt Number SRCXXXXXXX, to the Department of State for visa processing.

No email or text yet, if ever. I had to check the website.

Wow 32 days! Congrats!

I think it depends. With ours, status just changed this afternoon to "Ready" then few minutes later we received an email on my appointment. They scheduled it 2 weeks from now.

Thank you!

So tomorrow we hit the 6-week mark. Should we go for supervisor review or carry on waiting?

I would want to vomit if I had to make that decision. Maybe a few more days may help?

Thats crazy!!!!! I'm at three weeks todays since my RFE and and 7 weeks since my original scan date.

i would hold on one more week, i don't know but waiting another 6 weeks sounds like torture. But in the end its up to you. hand in there, i really hope you get your CC soon. *fingers crossed*

Supervisor review seems like a hit or miss. I have seen several ppl get a cc after 2 wks being on SR. Then there are others who had to wait the full 6 wks or more. Even worse some had to be put on a second SR. Some ppl think that it depends on whether your case had a checklist, that causes a major delay; as opposed to someone whose case was not touched at all and was simply forgotten after the 6wk time period. I would suggest waiting a few more days to see. I was automatically put on SR after 37 business days past and still no cc (2nd scan date was 8/16). My clock has started over for the third time... hoping for a miracle. Hoping everyone gets their CC very soon!!

Well i called nvc today since my case crossed six weeks mark. Agent automatically puts me on supervisor review. I asked i dont want to be on supervisor review then he said my file needs to be located so its important to be placed on SR.. torture.. literally torture..

I'm sorry to hear you're still waiting. I think I will call on Friday afternoon. No doubt they will put us on supervisor review.

Good for you

Tried to call today - I learned not to get excited until I have it in writing.

Did you have a check list or did you wait so long without hearing anything from NVC?

i agree, I'm really upset as well. you would think that would work a little faster taking into consideration the holidays coming up and see that there are people waiting for more than 6 weeks. i don't understand because during the august and september month, i saw so many people receiving CC but now i see like 2 a day if not none.

Unfortunately my husband sent me an article where NVC personnel are being utilised to fast track naturalisation of USA residents so they can vote in November 8 elections so the rest of us nowhere near residing have been placed further back hence the 6 weeks slowly turning into 8 for some! Meanwhile after waiting 69 days just for our petition to get there, I'm planning my last Christmas in Australia instead of my first in USA - onwards and upwards

Ah, really?

I feel you, also planning for last Christmas in England. Still hanging onto a string of hope for spending New Year in the U.S...we shall see.

I have waited without anything since 8/17, my scan date. I did SR on 9/28 (our 6 weeks). This week is our 1 year since submitting our 130... so many congressional and ombudsman requests later.... we hope he is here by the end of the year.

Okay, so I called NVC today and they told me my petition was received on Oct. 6th and gave me "wait 2 weeks for a case number" line. Happy that it finally reached NVC but cautiously optimistic that I will get it in the timeframe they quoted me.
