Yes we elected to do EP, hopefully it pays off. Our timeline dates are very similar, let me know when you get that CC!! 

I did the EP submission as well.  Below is my update thus far:  

--  March 4th: Sent an email with the AOS and civil documents attached

--  March 10th: Received an email from AskNVC@state.gov informing me that my income on i-864 did not meet the poverty guidelines requirement. As I am living abroad with my spouse and children, I entered 0 as my individual income.  I am using my assets to meet the requirement instead.    

 

In my personal opinion, the 2-3 weeks estimation for EP case completion is spot on.

Correct. That's the difference between two procedures. I guess @Ninahuanca didn't know that if you don't use lawyer, you can't pay both fees at the same time.

Correct didnt know that....good to know

nvc received my packet on March 1st, still haven't gotten our scan date. 

do call them, again and again until they give you your scan date. , 001 603 334-0700  because, that happened to me, we thought that when it says delivered to NVC, it meant that is our scan date, when i called to follow up regarding our case, NVC said they only received my documents on January 13, when in fact, it was sent nov 2016.

 

i wish you good luck.

NVC received my documents on January 6, and no progress since then...

But lets stay positive! I can see here that people get their CC with later dates than mine, so everything is possible.

hi Kate, i would like to follow your timeline, please keep us posted whenever you got your CC Thank you

Once the nvc receive your documents there is nothing to update they will sit there for about 10 weeks until someone review them , you gonna keep seeing the message that says send your documents until your case is complete then it will change to at nvc , the only way to find out when they received your documents is to call .

To find out when your case is complete before they send you an email keep checking the ceac website , right now under AOS fee  it says paid  it will change to n/a if you see that call them to confirm. 

Here is an example of mine:

thanks for your explanation!

They confirmed that they received the package on January 6. The response was like we have to many applications at this time - so please wait 6 weeks (I think it is their standard answer). Now it has been 10 weeks and their response is the same... just frustrating...

You may also email them to ask if they received your package. Good luck, Claudia!

Fingers crossed for faster outcome for everybody here!

thank you Kate praying for fast results to yours too

 

it is best to call them if possible,

 

when you email them it takes over two weeks before they reply

OK I assume the page you are referring to online is ceac.gov.state right?  It only shows that my next step is to submit the documents (even though I already have) and the instructions on how to submit them. There is no date that shows that that the documents were received even though a woman at NVC told me they were received on March 1.  There is a link to check NVC status but it takes me to a page that basically only has FAQ, nothing to check the actual status.  Will the ceac.gov.state page update with the status as the case moves forward?  Thanks for your help!

if the NVC agent gave you the date March 1, it means that is your scan date,

ceac to check the so-called 3NA's https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx

you will be needing the case number, invoice number

Hey there, I finally received a case complete and had my case forwarded to the embassy. However, it doesn't look like the embassy has received it yet (im tracking on the DHL site) even though it says "Ready" on the ceac website. 

 

Any idea when when I should expect that interview letter? I sent them 2 emails and also called, but have not received a response yet. 

 

I cant call the NVC for assistance or find out the interview date because our case was expedited, so I have to directly communicate with the embassy :/ 

 

 

does anyone have any experience with that? 

 

Unfortunately, the new travel ban will be affecting our case once it goes to affect this week as well. Not really sure what to do. 

congratulations on your CC

 

good luck on the interview

https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx here you can see on the right bottom corner (under the case number) where your application is.

Also I found another link where you can check how your case is moving forward: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

Scan day - is the day when NVC received the whole package (confirmation email if you used email to send your documents).

Called just now and got my scan date: March 2nd! ??

Hi all, new here

Scan date: Jan 13th.

 

Still waiting on a CC...called the NVC last week and was told our case has been moved to the "document review room", which I took to be good news. But then I called back a couple days later and was informed that the NVC is really backlogged and it might be another 6 weeks or so to review our case, even though we've already waited the 6 weeks-turned-8 weeks they originally told us. The lady on the phone sounded really apologetic. 

 

We are so frustrated, and it looks like there are more of you here that are in the exact same boat... Anything anyone has done to make it go faster?  

Also, I have a question about the 3 N/A's. So far, we have 2. Does that mean we're getting close to the 3rd one, or does it start with 2 in the first place? 

 

Thanks, everyone. Glad to have found this community of people going through the same thing we are! Good luck everyone!!
