You already specified that you are sponsoring your spouse in Part 3 which automactically defaults to 1 in Part 5 question one. No need to list her in question 3 again.

*Also if you're the petitioner, using your own earned or retirement income (W2) and your wife is the only one immigrating you're qualified to use the I-864EZ. Its less pages and easier to understand.

I just called NVC as my scan date was Sept 27 and file was sent for supervisor review on Monday. I was told to call next week to follow up. Also for those planning to call today, please note the system will be down from 9pm not sure which time zone and Friday is a holiday.

Ya that's all they ever told me during the normal review and so far on supervisor review. I've asked a few times if there is like a "queue" and if they could indicate where we are in that queue but they've always said no. I've asked if it's under review or just in line and most of time they just say "We can't say it will be done when it's done" or something like that.

I would imagine there must be some sort of queue in which case I wonder why they can't say "We have 50 cases ahead of yours" or something. I don't know how they decide to review cases in specific orders.

This is the federal government. So I am sure they have some type of order. Just like how they know when our 6 weeks is up and when to put us into supervisors review. They just do not disclose that information on what "queue" we are in. It's like top secret information.

I'm actually on hold with them right now and just heard the message...

Their systems are down for an upgrade starting tonight at 9PM Eastern Standard Time. They indicate they will unable to answer case-specific questions after that time. They will also be closed tomorrow (as expected) for Veterans Day. They reopen at 7AM Monday.

Systems upgrades the night before a holiday are pretty common among government agencies, that way if something breaks it doesn't harm production.

Yeah exactly.They could at least tell us why we are still not geting reviewed, while other people with later scan date are getting CC.

Here is my guess... They assign the work by region or case type to specific teams, then to specific employees. The employees work at different speeds. I get Employee Jim on Team A and my case sits six weeks, but somebody else gets Employee Jane on Team A (or maybe Team C), and their case gets done in six days. And if they're anything like other agencies, work rarely gets reassigned unless someone is going to be out on leave. So the reason they don't tell you is probably because they have absolutely no idea; or at least, the contact rep has no idea, because they just don't know when Employee X is going to finish. And I'm pretty sure they aren't using some form of just-in-time case assignment, where employees get cases automatically when they finish one, since I've yet to see a government agency that didn't have someone actually *assigning* cases to employees.
