I just called NVC after 2 weeks of submitting all my documents to them via mailing and was told that my case was completed and awaiting an interview date. I did not receive no email or nothing, however the representative over the phone told me I should be receiving an email shortly and she verified my email. I asked her if she think they will schedule my wife’s interview this year and she said she’s not sure but mostly will be for January cause they are trying to hold back interviews for January. This makes sense since Christmas holiday right around the corner. And that works in my favor too because I want to be there for the interview and I will get time off from my job starting in January. 

 

I have an attorney but seem I am a bother when I try to see what he thinks every few months.   I did not know we can call.   Where do I call to?    He said he will not contact UCSIS  until is is 60 days past my 1/1/19 date of or 1 year of waiting

For USCIS you would call +1-800-375-5283. 

For the National visa Center(NVC), you would call (603) 334-0700.  For USCIS you can chose the option on whether to enter your case number over the phone and have the automated machine tells you info about your case. However, if you really think it has been too long for your case to not be approved and want to speak with a representative, then you can call and press the option key that ask if you calling to change adress as that option will get you a representative faster. As for NVC you call them an wait about half hour on the phone and someone will speak to you. Important, that you have you case number with you when calling either USCIS or NVC. They will ask for case number first thing.

My husband is from Dominican Republic and they asked him 4 questions:  

Who is his petitioner

Who is the better cook

Who is the better organizer

How many children do I have

 

Then she told him that he was approved.  

She did not review any of the pictures or anything.

Wow okay. I hope my wife interview goes just as smooth later on. My wife is awaiting an interview date at the US embassy in Guyana. I know the questions will vary that they ask her since we don’t have kids and such. But I hope they don’t ask too much questions lol.  And once again congrats to you guys. Hope all goes well for you hear on out too.

Hi, i will keep you posted. I hope that NVC don’t take long to send me an interview date. They told me I might get one in January or it may take several months based upon how busy the embassy in Guyana is.

Omg are you serious ? Who told you ? That’s great!!! Can’t wait to be done with nvc then!! ☺️

Hi Guys,

 

My case was closed at NVC on October 22,2018. But I needed to update the "Date of birth" on IV Form so NVC reopened my case. After a week I called them and I Found out that my case is under "Administrative review". On Nov 16 I called them and my case status was still the same. So the Operator suggested me to send my case to a Supervisor.  It's been 4 weeks yet no updates. I called NVC and talked to a supervisor all they said was my case under review and there is no timeframe on how long it will take for NVC to complete reviewing. 

 

Has anyone experienced this situation? I would appreciate any info.

 

Thanks

That’s what the representative at NVC told me over the phone when they looked up my case.

[Gods-faith 27]

Hi guys,

I just received an email from the NVC saying that my wife case was 'complete' and its in process for an interview date. 

 

•Mailed all documents(package), November 19.
•NVC Received documents November 21.
•I called NVC on December 11 and was told my case had been completed. (I guess it was complete before December 11, but that’s when I had called) 

• Received 'case complete' on December 14. 

 

*awaiting interview date now😊

 

I have to say the NVC stage is progressing very quickly.

Hi everyone, i need you’re help because i have made myself sick over this. My husband had his interview on the 12th of Decmeber. He was give 221g to upload joint sponsor papers, which we did right after the interview. When i check the visa status it say “refused” and the case update hasn’t changed since 12th decemeber. Should i be worried? Anyone had a similar experience or same situation? I’m losing my mind 😭
