So I read on the NVC website that once you select mail processing you can not switch to email processing. I didn't realize that Ethiopia allowed email processing because I was only looking at the box that listed consulates that allow you to upload online. 

Well they haven't received your documents yet by mail. So I would email now.. This will be registered first.   They also said, if you can't upload everything in one email, then send by mail.. That's not true as there have people who sent 2 emails and it was accepted..

We submitted DS-260 online and we sent the documents to the NVC by Email (our NVC case number starts with AMM) like 3 days ago and still nothing has shown up! It still says Action required: Submit requested documents

How long does it usually take to show up or to know they received our documents?

 

@abe.wichner You can follow this forum. This is normal.. this won't change until you receive a "Case Complete" (CC)..  Meanwhile, you can call them to see if they have received your email.. 

 

Click on the following links to check your IR-1/CR-1 visa case status:

Check My Visa Application Status

DS-260, Online Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application

 

If it says "At NVC" and your AOS information is missing.. Then you most likely have a completed case (CC)... Please call the NVC to confirm. 

 

See Example

 

If your status still reads "Action required: Submit requested documents", you can call the NVC to ask if your case is under review. 

 

Please update the NVC Case Status Spread Sheet -  2017  with your latest status.

• When you receive a CC or if your case is under review.   
• If you have not received a CC or you are not under review, update your notes. 
  • "May 26 - Morning - Called, still not under review"  (please put date first in your notes). 

 

Here are instructions on how to edit/save the questionnaire.

 

If you have lost your questionnaire, you can redo it, I'll delete the duplication.

Thank you Toronto 88! I tried logging on using Safari and got a very strange message, attached below. I entered the correct "I'm not a robot" letters and numbers and it came back with that error message. I will contact NVC tomorrow and see what can be done. 

Just so you know USCIS approved our NOA2 on May 8th, sent it out on May 18th. NVC received it on May 25th and I called NVC every single day and finally got the new NVC case number and invoice number on June 9th (Friday). Hope that helps give you an idea of when you will get your number. Thanks for the help 👍

Thanks for sharing this information Bernard. I was wondering, how long did you have to wait for a welcome email after you received the case number? Thanks

The NVC reviewed our documents at they sent us a checklist of the missing documents which was financial evidence but that is supposed to be sent to the interview. The other piece of evidence we forgot to send was the original marriage certificate. I called the NVC just now and they said that they received the email from us, but they always say it will take 11 weeks. So my question is: did they review our documents already by sending us that checklist for missing evidence? I don't think it will take 11 weeks to review one more document. So I hope we have a case complete next week.

Good morning I wanted to know what are all the filing fees for the visa? I'm getting different amounts. I only would like to know the fees on my side not the interview fee or medical for him.

Hi, you can join this forum to help you with your questions.

Hi  so i got a checklist on July 20, was asking for W2 but my joint sponsor owns his own business so he doesn't make w2 for himself. i sent six months of bank statements but i guess that wasn't enough. So other than W2 what else could i take to the interview as proof of income? Also on july 26 my case status changed from at NVC to READY but i didn't get a cc confirmation email, do you always get that or is it like they send it here and there?

Sure thing.  If your joint sponsor has their own business, they'll have 1099s instead of w2's.

In case anyone else is from China and still waiting to get to the point of submitting documents to NVC, here is our case:

 

Aug. 01, 2017 - Submitted DS-260 and supporting documents

Aug. 02, 2017 - Received email with new GZO number (for China GUZ is initially assigned but when email processing is selected the case number converts to a new GZO number)

Aug. 09, 2017 - CC (Ceac shows "At NVC" and the AOS fee line disappeared)

 

 

We know someone else from china who did paper processing (their lawyer is lazy) and it took ~8 weeks to get to case complete, as compared to our ~1 week.
