Hi everyone

 

Im new to this group. PD 18th Jan 2017, NAO2 approved: 5th Sept. Called USCIS last week and they hadn't sent it to NVC yet :( hopefully soon!

My AOS fee cleared overnight, I submitted it Friday.

I also got an email overnight for my IV fee, it was dated yesterday and just paid it, so I'm expecting it to clear on Thursday and then hopefully be able to fill out the DS-260.

Not sure if I'll put the package together before or after that.

 

I'm in Mexico till Tuesday next week, I might get it there a few days earlier mailing it from here but it'll cost more so I'll have to figure that out.

My DS-260 is not yet unlocked. I think I still must complete this step even though my file has been forwarded to the Embassy. I will call them later on to check.

Check out the NVC process

if you got the notice yesterday, I would call Thursday night later in the evening to see if they have your case number.

 

For a few of us its taken 4 days, but they seem to update things at night.

I had called at 5pm and they didnt' have it, someone else who had the same timeline as me called later in the night and got it, when I called in the morning it was available.

Does anyone know how long NVC are currently taking to process cases?

Once I had received my scan date it took just under 7 weeks to get case complete. Of course before you can get a scan date you need to pay the fees, fill the forms and send the documents. All of that can take around 2-3 weeks depending on how prepared you are with the documents you need to mail and if their online portal system is working properly (it was having major issues when I was going through that bit which set me back about an extra week!)

 

It took 9 days for my file to leave USCIS and be received at NVC.

 

You're on the home stretch now!

There was a big earthquake in Mexico today, don't know if that would be good enough reason to expedite.

No evidence, we had an error made on our case at NVC, not our fault, and it would delay the case significantly. So i guess they could see the error and that was the evidence. 

 

Of course the phone isnt working in the DR so i cant tell my husband!!
