Guys rookie question 

 

What is scan date ? Does the operator actually tells you that they scanned the docs in the system at this particular date ?

 

Does anything changes or shows online

Scan date is a visa journey term, the reps will not know what that means.

Scan date is when they get your documents into their system, not to be confused with when they receive them, its usually a few days after, from this date you start the 11 week countdown (currently around 6 -7 weeks)

 

Nothing will show online for this, nothing will change until you have case closed.

I would advise you to call the NVC then. This sounds like a case complete, but they are the ones to affirm that. Could you keep us updated on what they say, and update your timeline if you have a case complete? :)

I called the NVC last night. Def. not a case complete. But this morning I woke up to an e-mail that the consulate has received my request for an expedite, and it will be sent there within two weeks! Anyone know how I can track this?

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!
1.26 CEAC tracker says Visa Issued!

I was able to pay the AOS fee this morning. Definitely like how much faster the NVC is. I have all the supporting paperwork to go also. 

I paid mine this morning also!! This is very encouraging! I wonder how long this will take to process before the IV opens.

Mine was just in a few days.   I enjoyed the NVC process much better than USCIS..perhaps because it goes in steps and the longest is waiting for CC (but 11 (or less) weeks compared to 6 plus months is great).  Although I  the paperwork for NVC was a little more extensive than the i130 for the most part I felt  at ease.

YES!!!   Totally....we have no idea on what will happen.  I'm trying to stay positive but having no control over my future is difficult for me to handle.    I'm confident that all our paperwork is good, and I'm 1000% my husband will answer any question they ask with ease...he knows me more than myself...when I'm running around the house looking for something 99% of the time he knows where it is..and he's never been in my house!!   What worries me is how some are denied or long ap and they are not sure why...makes me worry that depending on the officer taking the interview and how there day is going could affect my case...but who knows..
