My PD is December 12. I am waiting too. I am hoping they finish up November soon and start on December. 

Seems like a lot of people in the same boat.. at least we can get updated info on this forum. I hope we are next.

Yes there is. This forum is very helpful. There was more November approvals today. I hope they can clear them out soon. I never imagined the wait would be this long. I wish I had applied sooner.

Yeah it feels insane. Makes me wonder how long the NVC process is going to take.

I was browsing different timelines and it looks like anywhere from 3-4 months from the NOA2. But then it depends on how soon you pay the fees, send in the requested info, and that you don't get a checklist etc. I am hoping everything will be done by the end of the year. Some others are saying by the way things look now we might not get interviews until early next year ...I hope that's not the case

So, does anyone have an idea on how long the NVC process takes once its approve of nov/dec 130 filers untill the date of interview?

The current time on their website once you pay all the fees and for them to process your paperwork is up to 11 weeks.

I am hoping it depends on how long *we* take to send the papers and not how long *they* take to process. But I think the interview has to do mostly with how busy the embassy is?

That would be awesome. As long as it doesn't go beyond December I would be happy.

For Dominican Republic the current wait time for an appointment is 2 business days. Per the travel state site:

https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/general/wait-times.html/

 

However, that can change of course. Let's hope not.

Those time are for certain nonimmigrant visas.

Ah ok I read it incorrectly. Thank you for pointing that out. 

 

I know a couple of people who recently went through it and it didn't take very long after their cases were completed. However, this is for the Dominican Republic I am speaking of. I hear their embassy moves pretty quickly.

How much are AOS fees now? and what other fees should I know that are coming if anyone knows from the top of your head..    I'm so glad I got my paperwork in before it went to $525.00.

Also does anyone know if Joint Sponsors that receive federal benefits are eligible to apply as a sponsors?

I wouldn't know.. I'm doing consular processing. I'm sure you can find it on USCIS website
