Case sent = online status on USCIS changes

Case received = you call NVC about a week after online status changes to see if they report having received case

Hi skyzee,

 

does it change from approved to sent on the USCIS website?

Indeed. This is what it'll look like.

 

 

From then on, you're done with the USCIS status checker.

As of 5 minutes ago our case got put into supervisor review for passing the 8 week mark last night at midnight.  

 

TSC approved 3/15/18

NVC arrival:4/9/18

case & invoice number: black hole somewhere not known.

 

they did not give a timeframe of how long supervisor review takes.

Guys quick question: I paid AOS and IV fees but not reflected on my bank account yet. I know it takes 2-3 days to clear payment but if I call NVC over the phone will they do it faster?

Nope, NVC has no control over it. You have to let the system take the payment on it's own. Sometimes even after the bank account reflects, the CEAC doesn't so patience is the key unfortunately.

OK Is 2-3 business days a good bet for PAID for fees or usually it takes longer?

I thought there was someone behind the payments and not automatic rollout of payments. Ia 2-3 business days a good bet for PAID for fees or usually it takes longer?

As far as I know there isn't anyone you can contact to have it expedited. They have a time frame of usual 2-3 business days for the PAID to reflect on CEAC website. If it goes beyond 7 business days, NVC has someone look into it. Until then, it is normal automatic rollout. It took me 5 business days to reflect.

Thanks for the explanation! After that, they automatically unlock the DS-260 section?

Once you see PAID on CEAC website, you can access the DS-260.

Hate to break it to you, but "supervisor" does jack. When you call, if the rep starts asking for your names/dob, expect email with case number in your mailbox in about a week.

Hmmm that's odd. All my fees opened up on the same day. You might want to call NVC about that.

That is what I figured.  The good thing is my spouse and I live together in her country so at least we are not apart.  We were just hoping to be done with everything by end of July so we could make plans to visit my family during the fall in Idaho.  I guess we will just continue the waiting game.
