You may call the embassy and ask whether they received the documents or not.. They do reply. 

Really? What number did you call and when did you call? Because my husband called Islamabad embassy and they said we cannot answer any immigration questions on call, you have to send an inquiry.

Yes.. My sister used to call and ask about receiving documents.. Once she sent new AOS then new medical reports.. Both time they responded.. The number is written on their website..

Hey guys, sorry you are waiting. We understand, it is such torture. 

Every case is different and it's very difficult to make genralizations. Sometimes you just don't know why similar cases take very different lengths of time. Just because 2 people are from the same country, or are both female, or have been to the US before, or, or, or... doesn't mean you can assume their wait times will be similar. There are so many factors, even things like stupid clerical errors, that will affect your wait time. Sometimes it can just be a name hit... who knows...

Remember also that there are "banned countries" ...and then there are countries on a list of 20 or so (like my husband's country,  Morocco) which will most likely be subjected to the extra vetting.  We waited 8 months.

 

I don't think I mentioned here that my husband has recently received the actual visa in his passport. Time to start packing!!

October 2011: Met in Spain

2012-2014: Video chat + visas + visits and vacations = we made it through!

June 2014: Moved to Spain, got engaged 

December 31, 2015: got married

April 20, 2016: sent I130 package

May 2, 2016: package received in Chicago Lockbox - - - 12 days for delivery!! Don't use TNT couriers!! 

May 2nd or 5th, 2016: email NOA1... accepted and sent to.... NEBRASKA 

And now.... breeeeeeathe..... be like water my friend....

October 26th, 2016: NOA2 [We had waited almost 6 months. Received notification from the phone app, never got an email.]

November 9th 2016: USCIS sent the petition to NVC (app notification) [waited 2 weeks after approval for this]

November 25th 2016: NVC received and created account for our petition [waited 16 days after USCIS sent it, for NVC to acknowledge receipt]

Dec 1st 2016: Chose agent online DS261 [a few days later than it could've been since the above NVC email went to SPAM!]

Dec 6th 2016: Case available for paying fees. That was fast, I think! 5 days!

Took a long time to get package out because... life... and husband's family in Morocco had to travel to get police document.

Feb 20th 2017: Scan date at NVC, received weird email.

April 28th 2017: CHECKLIST. Moroccans are required to send a Court Report regardless of Police Record status. My husband had to go back to Morocco to get it in person. Also, NVC wants a 2016 tax return now that is 2017. My bad.

September 15th 2017: 2nd Scan Date at NVC. Sent for document review October 20th.

Nov 10th 2017: Email requesting document be brought to interview. Will schedule interview.

Case complete date??: TBD :clock:.... November 8th!!

Interview date : January 18, 2018!!           Result: Administrative Processing      :mellow:

Embassy called for new medical last week of August. New Medical Sept 10.

Visa ISSUED September 14, 2018. :blink:
