I just sorted the spreadsheet by interview city. And when I did that, I finally saw a trend about processing times "SD to CC".. And it looks like London is at about 8 weeks. 

 

SD to CC - DAYS	SD to CC - WEEKS
57	8.14
58	8.29
58	8.29
58	8.29
53	7.57

 

 

And regarding your interview date.. Last month were all given on May 31..  Looks like @pjsr had just missed that date as his CC was on June 1..  So if this is true.. hopefully you'll receive your interview notification on June 30/July3rd ..  For an interview in August.

So I just called and the representative said my case is not even in review,it can take upto 11 weeks😧

I still don't understand how they do it on hopping all over the cases but this so frustrating on waiting on NVC !

looks like it's going take 11 weeks

scan date14 April

Scan Date April 11. Finally an update. A strange one, but it was expected. I got a checklist for my New Zealand police certificate, which I cannot request directly, it HAS to go through the US Embassy in New Zealand. The wording on the checklist says 

•   Send the missing or corrected items to the applicant so he or she can take them to the visa interview;

  or

•   Send the missing or corrected items to the National Visa Center (NVC) and include a copy of the

  Case Number Barcode Cover Sheet. Clearly write your case number on the upper right-hand corner of every document you send. After we receive and review the requested information, we will let you know the status of your case. For current processing times, please visit our website at nvc.state.gov/submit (English) or nvc.state.gov/enviar/espanol (Spanish). 

Of course they had to send the email the second they close for the weekend so will call and confirm what I have to do on Monday.

 

EDIT: Thought some might be interested as to what I now see on the NVC portal. I still see the AOS Fee, and am still seeing the 'Submit Requested Documents' message.

Sorry double post, can't edit my previous one again for some reason. 

 

Reading closer, it may in fact delay my case... it's going to be a tough couple of days waiting for NVC to open back up.

Aww. That really Sucks. Sorry to hear about that...Seems strange that you have an "or" option...  

 

Maybe reach out to other New Zealanders?

It said "or" at the beginning of my checklist email also. If it talked about the barcode sheet under "instructions" most likely they want u to send it to them. The "or" is automatic in every checklist email I think. Under instructions it will let you know which pertains to you. Usually if you are not required to send it in it will say somewhere along the lines of " while a interview will still be scheduled"

That was my fear. Interestingly enough though, I can't actually send them anything. Since the Police Certificate has to be requested through the US Consulate, they are the ones who will be moving it along to the NVC. What that means for a delay I have no idea though.

Hmm. Have you checked your country's reciprocity schedule? I looked at it and it does say you cant request directly but then it goes on to say how to request it and get it forwarded to NVC. Something along the lines of downloaded the form and submitting it via email. I'm not too sure though maybe you can read it and make more sense of it if you haven't already .

Just trying to help I hope it works out for you!

Did anyone else's aos info disappear as soon as the NVC received their case? Mine disappeared on my scan date. So the ceac summary page said 2-4 weeks for review, then on my scan date it changed to 30 days for review and the aos info disappeared - has anyone else encountered this? I'm employment based btw.

Question, has anyone received a checklist after the case has been completed? CC 06/15, this morning (6/17) at 1:14am we received an email stating that we need to request 2 police certificates and bring them to the interview.  We are assuming it might be because they are expired, due to the fact that NVC takes forever to process and some of the certificates are only good for 3 month. 

 

Does anyone heard about that before?

I've seen this before. You have a CC from the NVC. Meaning you're done with them. But still need to bring those updated docs to the interview.. For example, we're in France, we already know that we'll need to bring an updated birth certificate and marriage certificate as they expire after 3 months..  

 

And you'll notice on the spreadsheet. Sort by column "z". There are 16 cases that received a checklist but could bring those additional docs to the interview.

Yes. My hubby cc on 06/14 and received checklist 06/15 to bring police certificate to interview. I called nvc to confirm he will still get interviewed scheduled and take the police report to the interview and they said yes correct.
