Paid both of the NVC fees. How much longer?

[Hans Martin 2]

Hey.

 

We just paid both of the NVC fees 5 days ago on April 5th. They are still showing "in process".

 

 We have decided we want to move to America as soon as possible if the Visa is accepted. Our interview will find place In Stockholm, Sweden. Does anyone have a rough estimate of when we can hope to be able to move to the US? I know there's always a chance of getting denied and having to send in more evidence etc. But if all goes well, what should we expect?

 

Thanks guys!

After our fee payment at NVC it took like 13 days for it to show as paid.  If you have all the correct paperwork in hand, you are looking at approx 40 - 60 days at NVC (it might take a little longer now) for Case complete.  Plus whatever timeframe your embassy has to assign interview dates, Sweden is probably fast.  I'd say being optimistic 2.5 - 3 months for your interview.

Thanks! Good to hear from someone that has experienced delays with NVC as well. And do I need to send any more papers in now? Or just fill out forms online for the rest of it?

I believe you fill out the DS260 online after paying the fees. Then you mail in the AOS package /w I864 along with the IV package, depending on the consulate they may have you submit the AOS/IV packages electronically.

 

The beneficiary will then need to bring hard copies of basically everything that was in the IV package /w I864 along with a few additional items to the interview.

These packages you are talking about; is that something I receive from them in the mail, or electronically? Or do I need to just start downloading the forms, fill out and print?

 

thanks!

Not 100% as I'm not up to that stage yet but I believe once you pay the fees, you get a cover letter with a bar code for each package electronically from the payment portal.  They need to be attached to each respective package, and mailed to the address which is also listed on the cover letter.

 

The contents of the package are mostly items that you would furnish like civil documents, passport photos, W2's etc.. The I864 you can download online and start filling out now, it will be packed in with the AOS package. These items can be basically all just photocopies, the beneficiary should carry the originals (Mostly from the IV package and I864) with them to the interview.

 

There's a guide on this site that goes more into detail what's needed.
