I received a checklist requesting a document which I have already submitted. The horrible part is that all the checklist is in English except when it come to the last paragraphs in the last page it come in strange language.

Anyone has something similar???

Same thing happened to me... I had a checklist for the police clearances which I knew was going to happen, but they also asked for "5 -marriage certificate" and "6 -marriage termination" which we had sent to the NVC initially (they are the same docs that the USCIS accepted and approved). The text describing what was needed for the police clearances were normal and readable. The marriage documents looked to be in Greek letters but appears to be the Symbol font. If I import the PDF into Word, the only way i get the text that they originally sent is to change the font to Symbol. The lawywer called the NVC and they confirmed it was only a font problem. They asked us to re-send the marriage/divorce docs and explain why we were sending them again.

l did a symbol to roman character conversion by hand and figured out what the symbol fonts translated to... It basically said that they couldn't accept the documents we sent and directed us to go to https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/fees/reciprocity-by-country.html for more information. It also mentioned that if the docs were not in English, they needed to be tranlated with a statement saying that the translation was accurate and the translator was competent to translate.

We had waited 5 weeks plus 4 days from the original scan date to get the checklist. A couple weeks after that, we sent them the police clearances and the marriage/divorce info again. The scan date for that info was Sept 28.. It's been in supervsor review since Nov 10 which they put me in after I called them when it hit 6 weeks. I called yesterday (Nov 22) and nothing had been reviewed yet. Really hoping to get the CC soon and not another checklist...

I see you had an expidite at the NVC. I have one as well but an emergency didnt come ip until we were already at 8 weeks processing. So our case was sent straight to the consulate and they have it since Friday afternoon. In your experience how long after they received your case at the consulate did you receive your interview date?

The embassy received the packages 1 week after expedite granted and I got email about interview 9 days later

May 5 - I-130 Received

June 17 - RFE Received

August 4 - NOA2
October 3 - USICIS sent to NVC
October 12 - NVC received (69 days in limbo)
? - case number assigned
? - AOS bill paid
? - call NVC to review DS-261 and get IV invoice unlocked
? - IV bill paid
? - submit DS-260
? - send IV/AOS package
? - scan date

? - cc

The only way to know for sure is to call them a few days after it has arrived. I also received an email a week later telling me what my scan date was but not everyone receives an email so I wouldn't rely on that method for information on your case. The best way to deal with the NVC is always to call.

Same date as mine!!

Wahoo I think we were also at USCIS same timing - will be thinking if you!

Oh we started in February with Nebraska and were 164 days there waiting for approval.

Back then I had hoped that it would be nice to be finished by Thanksgiving but it has taken 10 months and 1 day to get to interview from sending I-130. I suppose I should be thankful it's not quite the 'one year' that is often quoted as a total processing time.

Haven't seen my husband since June 4, so I'm getting anxious now.

Haven't seen mine since July 6th. He's spending Xmas with me in England though! :D He'll be here in 10 days!

I think my case is going to get very close to the one year mark. We started at end of Feb.
