I think it is incredibly unprofessional for them to be overly positive to people.

 

The average time to CC right now seems to be 8-10 weeks. To say they expect you to be done in 6 is unfair to you. It sets unrealistic expectations.

Exactly! And all they say is "we are not sure about how long more it will take" like really???

and their website still says " Once received, it will take the NVC 2 to 4 weeks to review your case. "......absolutely unacceptable.

Now that I am done with the process and have safely arrived in the USA, my husband and I are really wanting to make some noise about the delays. We didn't want to do that while we were still stuck at NVC in case it jeopardized our case. My green card still hasn't arrived - paid on December 13. Entered the USA on December 19. I can't imagine it takes more than 20 minutes to make a plastic card.  My USCIS status is still "payment received". I can assure you that if I took payment from one of my customers and 7.5 weeks later still hadn't done anything with their order that takes 20 minutes to complete I'd probably not have a job to go to tomorrow.

CC TONIGHT, 2/1. Received a call from a supervisor this evening and said she reviewed a completed our case. 15 mn later i jumped on the site and boom: the magical 3rd N/A. She said we are in line for an interview.

Regardless of any embassy, no Jan Ccs' have received interview P4 fom nvc. So its delay from nvc not from embassies.

Reason stays Unknown like always from nvc.

I believe everything has been halted or delayed because of new admin. Else GC took 20 to 25 days max

Makes sense; I just called the NVC to inquire about my wife's interview date, they told me that her case is ready and waiting for interview, I asked when should we expect to get an email, they said we can't give you a time, it all depends on the embassy!!!

Hello everyone. 

The National Visa Center has officially stopped processing all pending green card applications from citizens belonging to one of the 7 banned countries. In addition, they have cancelled all February interviews in these countries as well.

In addition, Hammond Law Group got a "tip" that these are the countries included in the next wave of immigration bans:

Egypt

Lebanon

Afghanistan

Pakistan

Colombia

Venezuela

Southern Philippines

trans-Sahara

Sulu

 

Sending my thoughts and prayers to everyone who are affected and will be affected by this ban. This is just crazy.

I am freaking out.

I have to schedule my case through the consulate because we have an expedite through them. My case was received at the embassy two days ago. At the suggestion of another VJ member, I kept checking my availability to schedule an interview on the ais.usvisa-info site.. First, it told me I wasn't able to proceed because my case wasn't ready for an interview. Then I checked randomly two hours later and it let me in! However, all the dates were blacked out - no appointments were available. I read that this was normal but to keep checking back.

I refreshed not even a half hour later and an appointment opened up for February 21st!!! Someone must have canelled! I selected it as well as selected the biometrics appointment. I wasn't hopeful that it would let me proceed. But it DID. I still couldn't believe it. But then I received an e-mail from the consulate a few minutes later saying that our appointment was confirmed and it had all of my husband's information from his DS-260.

This has to be real, right? Someone pinch me. I am so excited but so scared that something will happen. Please God let this be real!!!!!

I'll keep updating as I find out more!
