NVC Filers - May 2018

[R&OC 374]

Ours is not even under review right now. I checked this morning and all it keeps saying is "Submitted requested documents" on the tracker. That's all.

Did anyone call the NVC after submitting? I stopped doing that...

420 days... wow... geezuz @_@ hope you get it soon too.

YEAH. We were really ultra lucky to be with the Nebraska Service Center when, apparently, everybody and their mother submitted their petitions. Then we received a stupid RFE, after 9 months of waiting. And then like everybody else on here, we had to wait 10 weeks for them to assign a darn case number. It's just been fun all around.

Off topic - just noticed, I became a senior member on VJ... is our case THAT old? Did we wait THAT long? 

No one wants to be OG in the visa world :0

It's so funny, even as early as December 2017, NVC from NOA2 to interview was 3 months.... case number assignment was taking a matter of days, not 8-10 weeks. The only consolation was supposed to be a quick cc after waiting 12 bloody weeks for a case number and now can't even get that. *sigh*

Our's never changed ...it said that up until the very morning we got the approval and our fees never changed to any n/a like some people. Don't worry too much! Even when we called they didn't confirm if it was under review or waiting for review like someone suggested either. It just came out of nowhere!

I did, for the first time today. Pointless exercise. I'm always trying to be ultra nice to the operators to perhaps coax some useful information out of them, but nah. Gave me the old "it may take up to six weeks, ma'am" spiel and wouldn't budge.

We definitely got this but did call once a week while waiting for cc just to appease my OCD...

I hate to compare !@#$ with $#@!, but I suppose I have it great by comparison.

 

So sorry, I talked to a gal who was stuck in Nebraska too who submitted at same time as you, but fortunately for her, she didn't get the checklist and moved on from NVC stage fast . You got the double whammy of the new PIVOT system slowdown after NOA2  It'd be nice if they actually accounted for PD's at all..................................

It's because you've made 200+ posts and has nothing to do with your case duration  Every forum has their own criteria of rankings.

I was not expecting this whole process to take a whole year. I thought max 10 months. My best friend is getting married in America 21 of July and I'm supposed to be in her wedding but that is looking less and less likely

Consider it re-uploaded with a note. You're both right, it's probably better to have both than risk them adding a week of nonsense. I added a comment too. So now I should be able to relax (yeah, right). That's pretty cool that they accepted your straight away after your re-upload, kendraf. I wonder how the whole thing works. Are they just logging in and rooting around and I could very well be logged in at the same time as them? Such mystery.

I actually super disliked that fact you could edit and add right up until the cc minus I used it twice haha I added my secondary pictures (the couple ones) just last week (two weeks after the initial uploads). But it made me wary why it all stays so open. You can even open and edit your d260 it looked like...

Ditto, I thought 8-10 months at most based on others timelines. Boy what an AWESOME surprise this has all been. Wish I could take back the last year, would have done things so differently.

Hey guys,

Quick question... are there some documents on CEAC that you can view and others that you can’t after you’ve uploaded and submitted? Or am I the only one that’s encountered this? I can view all the beneficiaries documents through CEAC but can’t view any AOS documents. I submitted everything May 10th. Still waiting for CC...

I have heard that is a sign you are getting cc soon.

I get that too actually from day 1. For whatever reason, beneficiary civil docs can be viewed, but AOS docs can't. What's especially annoying is that you can't even view the full filename that you submitted as it gets cut off, and if you use their defined filename standard, then it definitely will get cut off. So, I have no idea if I've even submitted the correct document for certain.
