You won't get any notice, but the importance of the scan date is that's when you start counting down to case closed, or when you should expect something to happen. Currently its 6-7 weeks. 

Gotcha. Thank you!

Hello,

 

  I just sent all NVC documents to Portsmouth, NH on 17NOV... and the wait begins (again). Does anybody know if NVC process slows down due to the holiday season coming up? Also wondering, where does everybody get their Scan Dates? i only know of my case number and IIN.

Maybe they want to close the year strong and work at a faster pace to reduce the number of pending cases by end of 2017

 

Its the govt we are talking about though

Their year closes on Sept instead of Dec... they are on fiscal year instead of calendar year end so I won't count on that.

Called yesterday and she told me that my information was just entered into the system. She said they're sending a letter to my attorney and she took my email and phone number and told me to watch for email. How long do you think before I get the email ?

I looked at your timeline, and I'm not sure what you're asking here. Are you waiting for a case number? Took me nearly am a month to get my case number after i-130 was approved. The next couple of steps go rather quickly- paying fees, filling out choice of agent and E-260. In the meantime, get your NVC package in order so you can send it out the day you finish all of the online forms and fees. Good luck!

I hope this isn’t a stupid question I tried to read to previous post but ended up being more confused. So upon checking my case it states that my petition was sent to the nvc on 11/24. What happens next exactly and what’s the time frame? Is that date I use for my timeline for nvc recieved ? Thanks !!

So your i-130 was approved. Now you will start the process for the NVC for that you will need the NVC case number and the invoice ID number. Maybe on Monday call up the NVC asking them if they got your case if they did then you can ask them for those and start the process on https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx.

So the consulate told me today that my interview date is invalid until they generate the appointment letter.

that's very disappointing, I still have it scheduled and have to keep checking to see if they've generated, the rep said my case isn't fully loaded into the system yet.

On top of that I'll have to travel to the consulate to get a copy of the letter cause there's no way I would get it in the mail in time.

Hi i want to ask a question when you send employment letter to nvc with AOS did you send employment letter photo copy and original will save for interview day ? or should we send orignialemployment letter to nvc? what about tax transcripts ?  we can make tax transcripts photo copy one for interview one for nvc??

I sent the original employment letter.  I really don't think it matters as its not necessarily required just helpful.   

 

Tax transcripts are just a printed document but yes one should have been sent to NVC and bring one to interview just in case.

Yes you want to have a copy of everything you send to bring to the interview.  Employment letter you can send original and bring copy to interview.
