We are awaiting our case number from the NVC and all that we heard was to wait for six weeks!! Never heard this could take so long.  @cordoba2015 did you hear the same? 

 

Where can I find the NVC timeline from Case Creation to Case Completion?

Greetings All, 

 

I am new to the NVC side as I finally got my approval at the end of Feb. I have a couple questions about the current status and the future. Maybe some one who has made it to CC can answer them.

 

Transit question:  

My i-130 was sent from the USCIS to NVC on the 27th of Feb. NVC has not "received" it as of today. Is this Normal? I know snail mail is slow but over a week to go from texas to vermont seems a little extra slow. Perhaps its just in a pile waiting to be entered as "received"?

 

 

AOS Questions:
I am on the fence about adding a sponsor. I've easily made enough the last 10 years. However , I would hate to have problems as my job has potential to do a lay off in the next 5 months. The sponsor would be my safety net in the unlikely scenario of this happening. Is it worth doing ? I would have to have them scan in their forms and email them as we don't life together. 

 

If you do have a sponsor , do you combine your incomes on the i-864?

 

I do not plan on doing my taxes until April , how important is it that I have this years returns?

 

IV Quesion: 

Since the beneficiary is out of country it is not really feasible to have original documents mailed across the world. Will the NVC accept scanned in to PDF then printed and mailed documents? 

 

Lastly, Is there any way to send the documents to the embassy instead of the Vermont? I will be visiting my SO until May this would save me a lot of headache of having someone send from USA on my behalf. I very much doubt this is an option but I thought i'd ask. 

 

Thank you got a head of time for any answer you have. USCIS was a fiasco and I hope to get through the NVC without too much trouble. 

 

 

Same here.. NVC is yet to receive my case as well!!!

Congrats!

 

Mine showed up on a Sunday evening.  It may have been there late Friday though. I usually didn't check after their official closing time.  I'm not sure if it's updated in real time or not. 

 

 

Congratulations!

It took about 2 weeks I think from the time my case was sent to NVC to receive a case number. 

 

For case completion, or document review, is averaging 10-12 weeks.
