Just checked a bit ago and my case status is now "At NVC" and AOS is no longer listed. I wish I would've checked even 30 minutes ago to give them a call so I could verify if the case was closed. Now w

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.

Thank you,

Great work. I really appreciate you taking time and compiling this. May be we should request @dwheels76 to include this in monthly forums.

 

I would like to make a suggestion. Can you add more Columns in this list?

If so, please add columns that show "Interview Scheduled Date" and "CC to Interview Schedule days". This will give us average time it takes for NVC to schedule Interview for each embassy/consulate.

HI Tanish, I have that info on the March one.  But I haven't figured out how to get that information to automatically populate/calculate. I have to manually sort by date, and copy/paste those formulas...  For now, would not advise to add it to the monthly forums because it's not 100% self sufficient..  Ideally, would be better if VJ could add these options (update the options) to the timeline. :) Maybe that's the best solution.
