My screen changed as well. 

No cc and still waiting for supervisor review now. Technically, my case would have been approved on 6/28 if not for that silly court record issue (when none exists).   

 

The supervisor put in a request for my case file so maybe it'll be resolved soon. She confirmed nothing else was missing. Argh! Could have had a CC in 7 weeks + change!!!!!! Honestly, I feel like they're looking for anything to throw a checklist into a case file so they meet their quotas.

@JBMG I'd have to wait on that, 

Asked the rep I spoke with if I had an interview date already, she said not yet, so hopefully tomorrow or Monday.......

 

Thanks once again for the updates

Hello, 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. (they're closing in 15 minutes!!)

 

See Example

 

I've discovered that the processing times may depend on the country you come from. So on our spreadsheet, sort by interview city and see how long cases from your country took to get their CC's. 

 

If your status still reads "Action required: Submit requested documents", you can call the NVC to ask if your case is under review. But honestly, I don't see how this really makes a difference as some people stay in review for 1 day whereas others 14 days+.. And the NVC doesn't always tell you if you're under review.. I would start calling the NVC after normal processing time for your country or after 9 weeks, whatever is later.. 

 

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

  • If you have not received a CC or you are not under review, update your notes. 
    • "June 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.

I guess it doesn't mean much for us, probably just a new design of the website. Mine was also updated with steps, I called NVC and informed of no change yet!

Just got the p4 

 

Approval Date 23rd June 2017

 

Interview date 16th August .

 

One question though they are asking for I-864 copy again.  I think we sent the originals to the NVC but should we get a new form signed. The joint sponsor is in town these days so I can easily get a new form signed.

he did the medical three days before the interview ? I am asking cause I read somewhere in the start of the process that your visa is valid only 6 months from the medical date. Lots of stuff needs winding up here so id prefer to have as long as possible
