Ugh, this is like the 100th post about this in this forum. Search the threads. Nov 22 just now got to NVC. You are not an exception. It’s taking a helluva lot longer than 6 weeks for EVERYBODY. Check the spreadsheet and keep up with the threads.

Thank you i dont have any information about that this is first time i visit this site web i thini its normal to ask this kind of questions ????

 

Hi, Anass. Small world - I'm from Lakewood, and my family lives in Lorain still.

 

 That's where you're going to find people just like you who are waiting to hear from NVC. It IS a long wait right now. 

Do have patience and please DO read that thread before creating any more threads about this, because yes, people will inevitably get annoyed and snap at you.

Do not feel bad, however, for not knowing the entire layout of the forum before asking questions. We all had to learn somewhere.

It is 6 to 8 weeks for USCIS to send the files to NVC.  After it gets there, wait 2 weeks and call trying to get your tracking number.

 

People are sometimes a little stressed here and USCIS is one of the big causes.  Please feel free to ask away.  We are all here to help.

OP - I see some others have already directed you to the November NOA2 thread, which is about those who received NOA2 around the same time you did and are currently awaiting NVC. Based on my understanding of the current drag in processing, and your NOA2 date, I wouldn't get too nervous just yet. It's slowed down quite a bit for the NVC part, for some reason. We received our NOA2 on December 1 and I told myself I'm giving it until the beginning of February before I start making some calls and being a bit noisy about it. You can find a lot of helpful info on the thread the others have posted before me.

 

And don't apologize for asking questions - this forum site is HUGE and it can be very difficult to find what you are looking for, or figure out where you need to be. The first time I came here and posted, I posted a random new post just like you did, asking all my questions, and had some people come in and help direct me to where I need to be. It's normal. Some are just super frustrated (well, we all are), more than usual, because of the way things have bogged down so much. It ain't personal, and there are TONS of people here who will be super helpful throughout your journey. :)

 

Best of luck to you! We are in the same NVC boat right now! :) 

Håll ut, y'all.

Thanks!

To answer your question, you should get a response from the NVC in about 7 days.  That's how long the response time was for me when I emailed them on December 26th.

taking a lot longer than use to becasue of several things 

for one we just had 3 major holidays and in a lot of offices people are told "take your built up vacation time or loose it when January comes

the next is the number of applicaitons now going thru the system

6 million a year

best thing you can do now is learn what is needed to pass this interview 

big age difference will halt the process

reliigion differences will be an issue if you have them / be prepared with good answers

can the woman have children / big issue in Casa

ask financee questions about self,   family and her life in the US

everthing big and small / if they ask what is her favorite color ,  be prepared to tell the CO

if they ask stupid like what did she eat for breakfast,  they expect you to say she is  not out of bed yet as casa is 6 hours ahead

know that casa approved less than 250 K1 in 2017 out of the over 32000 approved for all countries

this is a hard embassy so hope u prepare well and are one of the lucky ones to be approved 

incha allah

if not, be prepared to marry and do the CR1 like so many of us had to
