We need to form a support group for all of us at or over 10 weeks....when we get our case numbers, we should all pop a bottle where ever we are.

I agree lol

Why do I even call? Just got the same story. “It has been over the time frame so we sent your case to the supervisor for review. It can take up to 6 weeks for supervisor review.” 

 

10 weeks since NVC received our case. 10 weeks of nothing besides despair. I should be strong enough to stop calling. This is not good for my mental health. Not that not calling will be. Ahhh  

Just to give you a dose of hope, believe me it could be A LOT worse  such as my situation! 

My wife is from Syria and there is a ban that does not allow ANY visas to Syrians! We are going through the process and I am about to get CC soon; but we do not even know if there is a possibility to get the visa!

I changed my consulate...at the time they were taking two weeks to respind to emails..I got another reply in 8 days...so anywhere between 8 days-14 days..you will get a reply with the new case number if you included all the information (name n dob of beneficiary + proof of nationality such as copy of passport etc ) and explain the situation

Did you get your welcome letter? I got today my case number over the phone but not yet the welcome letter

Oh...the travel ban...hopefully it would be in ur favor when the Supreme Court rules on it in June.

Not yet. When I called, one of the nicer NVC supervisors said I could print out the DS260 confirmation page (as it has a barcode on it) and attach it to the packets and send it in with a cover letter explaining that I never got my welcome letter. Which is what I did. My case is unique that I had to both mail in and upload my documents as I am a pivot case trying to be non-pivot. So I won't be able to tell you if my documents were accepted or not...I have heard that it takes about a week to get the welcome letter..so if you got ur case number recently, I would just wait for a week for it before sending it in.

I really appreciate for the info.

When I put my case and Invoice numbers, the system doesn't allow me to proceed and telling me the case is not eligible for further processing at this time. I think I have to wait until I receive my welcome letter. Wish you CC soon. Thank you!

Quick question: IF I receive case number over the phone, how long does it usually take to get the welcome letter from NVC?

I just called too. You spoke with Daphne? That was exactly what she told me 10 minutes ago...I don’t even know why I bother calling either!

Yeah I spoke with Daphne. I have spoken with her before and gotten the same exact response. Some of them are so insensitive.

Thanks.. I feel like nothing is ever in our hands in this process. I don't know if calling helps at all but I keep calling anyways.

I'm sorry, you're right things could be worse. I shouldn't be complaining but it gets so frustrating. I hope everything works out in your favor.

Cheer up!  At least we have company, plenty of us waiting with you.

 

I know I won't help but to call again tonight....actually the responses this week are worse than last week....last week they made us think that we are close...this week basically just wait....no idea when...

[aywang 169]

OMG....Get the bottles popping!

 

I just got the welcome letter in the e-mail at exactly 10 weeks!!!!

[Chalanero21 28]

I read all your suffering, is a hard situation. I am still waiting for a case number almost 10 weeks also and nothing. Is like the NVC knows this.... they are probably reading this forum and having a good time. Lol . On top of that i know that it will take a lot more time to wait for an interview because my embassy is like 5 months behind on scheduling.  This PIVOT system sucks it used to be a good lucky thing to be a pivot now is a nightmare there are probably  people with normal cases that arrived at nvc after ours and they have interview dates already.
