maverickmc - which USCIS branch did all of your paperwork go to? If it is Texas, you need to call them and let them know that the priority date is way after your September date and that they need to escalate the case. Texas is currently processing cases as of October 2017 I believe so yours should have already gotten processed.

On my app I still see a small handfull of people from texas with out approvals from Sept. Have you tried to make an inquiry about it? I think your petition is now out of processing time.  But I also noticed you have an rfe, which will delay your processing time at least by an extra month or two. @Abies, I still can't beiive yours rfe took over 5 months to process for something so simple if I remember correctly.

Wow... I am not sure what process they follow in selecting the cases. They don't follow FIFO for sure.  We received RFE on 04/30/2018, response to RFE received by USCIS on 06/05/2018. Still no approval.

Keep in mind you were given an RFE which now places you into a different queue, but still suggest on doing in inquiry on your case, and keep bugging them.

Hi guys,

how long does is typically take the NVC to schedule an interview abroad? My NVC Case was accepted last week and they told us that they are sending our paperwork to Italy - US Embassy Naples, but the Naples Embassy told us they have not received my case yet. Does anyone have an idea of how long the NVC actually takes? I am A US Citizen
