You don't need it! You only need police certifcates from places you have lived for 12 months or longer. At least that's what it is for the London embassy, but I'm pretty sure it's standard across the board.

thank you! I know it doesn't hurt but it's kind of a big hassle since they don't send it overseas, I have to do all the courier arrangements, but I figured I'd have to do it heh... thanks  

Please check the required documents

So now that I know NVC has received the case, how long do they actually take to assign a case number?

wow, NVC just got your case?! according to your timeline, you got your NOA2 over a month ago!

 

that makes me so sad, I have to wait so much longer

This I've never heard of.

From the UK website here:

uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/required-documents/

 

I tried uploading a screenshot of the specific section, but it won't work for some reason. Basically says a background check is:

"Required for all countries where you have lived for 12 or more months since the age of 16, and any country where you have been arrested even if you weren't a resident there."

It depends on where the beneficiary will have the interview. UK and India indicates police clearance is needed if you stayed for more than 12 months but for other countries it will say at least 6 months of residence.

The UK is considered a low-risk country so certain requirements will be different and less strict than others. However, the standard requirement is 6 months of residency in a different country.

When I filed and looked at the site, said 3.5 months (~110 days) for approval.  Who knew 186 days we'd still be waiting. 🤔

The only safe bet lately seems to be add 14 days to the previous months numbers and add that again for each month past. The spike in time has been crazy.

Just hope that you get the NOA2 before December 9!!!  This is completely a bizarre year.  What else can possibly happen?

Yeah, just what everyone waiting wanted. Hopefully they get back up in time for us to file our AOS paperwork. Should have her back home and probably hiding under the comforter in about 24 hours.

When we filed we saw cases approved after 90 days and those approved after 150.  So we thought the first ones were those provided all the necessary data, proved their relationship was real,  the country of origin or residence was no risk or special attention, never violated American or native country's laws. Naive like kids))) 188 days 😥😥

@Trinab80 thought I would hassle the Customer Service Center this morning and after speaking with a Supervisor, there is no notes of anything needed on your case, it's normal processing, I understand your frustration bull #######. Ugh, I'm all done with retail therapy, I need to save some money to attend the interview. Wow this is unbeleiveable. I have passed my estimated VJ timeline by almost a month. I'm to the point of almost crying. 

 

Needless to say Im super happy for everyone else as they progress and I sincerely hope that everyone has a speedy process after NOA2 but that seems to be running slow too. Smh

We Noa2 Oct 10th .

Nvc received Oct 19th , assigned case number and it's still stuck there . Nearly 6 weeks now. We are panicking, upset, just don't understand why us when we had no RFE ? We thought this was the easier part but it's even more stressful than waiting for Noa2?!

is anyome else still stuck at NVC under AP? 

Does anyone have any information how long we could be here for? 

We were stuck in AP at nvc stage for about four weeks
