I want to cry!!!! I have a scan date of sept 19 after sending in my husbands birth certificate  (check list)... so I just got off the phone with NVC and they said they receiveda package with scan date of nov 1st?? What the heck??? Sept 19 was the last time we sent something to them, so I asked the agent if she was able to tell me what this package is she said that she cannot until it is assigned to an agent for review ! I wanna cry... she said 11 weeks for this nov 1st package to be reviewed.  What can i do? Any advise anyone? Im upset and disappointed. HELP!

I'm on the same boat! second scan date Oct. 2nd for missing birth certificate! and they told me to wait for 11 weeks to review the document!

They said its waiting go be reviewed  but is in the department that does reviews, they had requested it.

No I wouldn't call everyday, maybe I'll check at the end of the week, but I'll also check the portal first.

I think it can tend to be there around a week.

I asked about how I would get contacted, they said email, which I expected cause I setup myself as the agent and supplied my email.

 

I see you just got your scan date, my best advice is keep yourself preoccupied and try not to think about it, I kept myself busy and the time went by faster.

You might also have delays cause of the holidays.

What portal do I check? I'm assuming same place I filled out DS-260 and paid fees, but where?

 

Also, when is the soonest you'd start checking. I'm trying to be patient, just so exhausted from this process. USCIS Nebraska Service Center wore me out!

i-130 sent in December before fee change- around 12.22.16

1.3.17: Processing date for i-130.

9.27.17: Rec'd e-mail that i-130 approved! 

10.5.17: Case sent to dept. of state for processing.

10.11.17: NVC rec'd case.

10.20.17: Rec'd case number and invoice ID number from NVC over the phone.

10.21.17: Filled out choice of address and agent.

10.24.17: AOS bill opened and paid

10.31: IV bill opened and paid (called 10.26 to ask them to process AOS bill and DS-261)

11.1: Bank processed IV Bill

11.3 DS-260 form filled out online

11.8 NVC package sent!

11.13: NVC package arrives at NVC

11.14: Scan date!

11.16: Sent expedite request to NVC

11.22: Expedite approved by consulate

11.28: Rec'd e-mail from NVC that package was sent to consulate. CEAC tracker states: in transit. Case Complete at NVC
12.11 Rec'd e-mail from consulate that package arrived, together with Pkt 3 instructions.
1.10 Interview apt letter rec'd via e-mail! (scheduled medical appointment)
1.25 Interview in the morning. Was told approved on the spot and visa should arrive in the mail within ten days! Yay!

You still wait for NVC processing, but once that's done, instead of waiting for NVC to schedule the interview, they send it to the consulate and then you'll be able to schedule your appointment with them. Its supposedly skips other people ahead of you.
