NVC Expedite Approved - now what?

[Shane & Len 11]

I know some this has been asked before but most of the threads are quite old and the information is often contradictory.

 We just received this email a couple of days ago.

 

Dear Mr. **,

 The National Visa Center (NVC) received your inquiry regarding the immigrant visa petition: ******* filed by XXX on behalf of **************.

The U.S. Embassy has accepted this case for expedited processing. This file will be immediately forwarded to the U.S. Embassy.

Any further questions concerning processing or the interview appointment date should be directed to the U.S. Embassy.

The U.S. Embassy may still request additional forms or fees at the time of your interview. Please be prepared to bring any missing forms and pay any required fees at the time of your interview.

Please note that it could take up to two weeks for the consular section to receive the case file once it has shipped from NVC.

 

I had not even expected an answer for a few more days let alone approval 2 days ago.

We have already submitted our AOS & IV packets and paid the AOS & IV fees prior to receiving this email.

 

My questions are: 

1)  Do we now contact the Embassy? 

             CEAC  site still says they are waiting on our AOS & IV packets even though they were scanned into the system 3 or 4 days ago. 

             Past threads have indicated the NVC still processes and others that it goes to the embassy for processing. 

             The email seems to indicate the latter. 

             We just got this a couple days ago so I know it isn't there yet, just unsure of where to proceed. 

2)  Is this letter sufficient for my wife to start her medical interview?

3)  How can we track this at this point?

4)  Do we just sit back and wait for the embassy to contact us? 

 

 

Sorry I know that is a lot of questions in one thread.  I guess for some reason I thought our next steps would be clearer.

Any recent experiences with how to proceed would be extremely helpful.

1. Wait until the file reach Embassy then you can contact them for the next step.

2. Wait until the Embassy give you the interview day, then you can schedule the medical.

3. do nothing. Wait until your case reach Embassy.

4.Wait

1.  Yes.

2.  I would email the embassy and ask for further instructions.  I would wait 2 weeks.

3.  No change in method of tracking.

4.  See #2

Good Luck.

LOL thanks H&T, I had a feeling it was wait. But some old threads worried me.

Hi, can you please tell me what happened after you received that letter? How long did you have to wait for an interview date? We just received an email saying our embassy approved our expedite request and NVC has already sent our file. I have been trying to find some info on what happens after expedite approval but cant find much. Any info will be helpful, thanks!

I got my expedite approval for my R1 on 8/3/22. I have everything paid and ds260 was approved. Does anyone know how long it takes for the CDJ embassy to schedule an interview.

Your answer is in the second post in this thread.  You just have to wait.
