Hello, March and remaining February filers.  Since nobody has been able to track your scan dates/CC's/Interview dates and locations onto a spreadsheet, I've created a tool where you can track it yourselves. 

 

First, please fill out this short questionnaire.. 

NVC Case Status Questionnaire - March 2017 - Method 4: Mail processing

 

Then to see everyone's results, go here..

NVC Case Status Spread Sheet - March 2017 - Method 4: Mail processing (save this link in your browser) 

 

MOST IMPORTANT: keep your confirmation email to edit your status as your case moves along.. I will not be managing this for you or resending the questionnaire to you. In fact, i don't receive the email link you receive making it impossible for me to resend the questionnaire to you.

 

Meanwhile, try to get everyone to update it. I have an April scan date, so we're eager to see how you guys are trending in terms of NVC processing.

 

 

For those with May scan dates (Mail filers). @JessieABC has created the following for you. 

MAY NVC SCAN DATES - Mail processing only 

If you have a scan date in May. Join this forum. 

NVC - May 2017 Scan Dates - Method 4: Mail processing

You can add your scan dates here.

NVC Scan dates in May- Mail filers only.

Your spreadsheet can be found here

For those with April scan dates, I've created the following for us. 

APRIL NVC SCAN DATES - Mail processing only 

If you have a scan date in April. Join this forum. Provide your scan date.

Good day everyone and may all of you waiting for a CC get it this week, after that being said i need some help, i just hung up with NVC, finally i was able to get a case and invoice number, i went straight to ceac website but when i put the information it says "Please be advised that the case that you have attempted to access is not eligible for further processing by the National Visa Center at this time" so my question is there a waiting period after you get those too?
