No idea.. Nor do I understand why we all can't do email processing or CEAC upload.. what's your scan date?

Not much in this process makes sense!

 

Our package arrived at the NVC today, and I'm waiting for the DS-260 to become available. I'm hoping to get a scan date this week.

Yes, i hope so too. :) It's frustrating to say the least.. Hang in there. 

 

Regarding your DS-260.. not sure why it hasn't opened up yet. I would contact the NVC about that... 

 

Be sure to share your scan date on the May forum started by JessieABC .

It certainly is frustrating. Hopefully the wait time will get shorter for us all.

 

I called the NVC, they said it can take up to a week for the IV fee to be processed in their system. I paid on 05/04, so I'm hoping to complete the DS-260 in the next couple of days.

 

Thanks for the link, I'll be sure to update them when I've got my scan date. :)

Ooh wow yea that is disappointing. But we will get there! For me the time is actually going by faster than expected. I remember I was 3 days after my scan date thinking I'll never get to 11 weeks but here I am in the 6th week and it really did fly by for me! Hopefully they keep it at 9 week wait though 

 

 

So exciting! We are one of the few lucky couples who get to see each other... But the traveling it's getting annoying after all this time. I hope you get yours back before the 9 weeks!!!

NVC - April 2017 Scan Dates - Spreadsheet

I made a form and linked the spreadsheet to make it easier to maintain so there's no need to track responses.

People can fill out the form and it'll automatically update in the spreadsheet on the Forms tab. 

 

Let me know if you'd like to merge the April and May data - the "Scan Date to CC" tab includes formulae to automatically calculate days remaining, averages and expected cc ranges :)

NVC - April 2017 Scan Dates - Spreadsheet

Can I have one small suggestion, can we please add consulate column to above link where interview scheduled, so we can have track for interview date scheduled at later time point.  Consulate column will help us to identify the consulate scheduling interview date after CC for same consulates.

 

I am may filer waiting to fil out my DS-260, but still following your group for updates.

Just a small request, if possible.

Thanks

And Yes everyone here it is a nice attempt by JBMG to put down whole list in excel.

Lets co-operate now in this move so it will help us when CC dates are almost near by to track our cases in a real scenario.

Thanks

Hi, thank you for the suggestion. I was planning on adding that info in. I'll update the spreadsheet to include that column. :)
