Have you made any progress yet? I got my email from NVC on 12/27 and my lawyer has done nothing. I gave him all my materials in advance. I’m extremely frustrated. What is an appropriate time frame for a lawyer to submit the materials? I feel like 3 weeks is too long and unacceptable / every week is a week I could be with my family in the USA. 

A lawyer will never care about your case even half as much as you do; if I were you I’d submit it all myself right now

I think I’m going to do exactly that. What a joke. They get paid to submit documents and they can’t even do that promptly.

Oh, we experienced the same thing with our lawyer (and we have already paid him). In the end we decided to tell him: if you do not upload the documents before the end of the day, we'll do that. 

He did it.

It took about 10 /14 days to have all the documents submitted, and we were very disappointed by his behavior (and we, as you, had already sent him all the documents in advance).

Filling in the DS form and uploading AOS and civil documents today... and sent my lawyer a scathing email. I'm amazed that they get paid to waste our time.

 

Any idea how long before NVC will complete the review and send it to the consulate?

It usually takes around 4-8 weeks, some are reviewed faster, some are slower; not really sure why. Once the case is complete it will stay at NVC until the consulate is ready to schedule you for your interview, this part depends on how busy your consulate is

Case is actively being reived by USCIS - I hope that means a decision is going to be soon. It's been a rough month dealing with the scenarios running wild.

Well less than 24 hours and our case is now approved! I am so happy... so the NVC takes like a month....right 😛 lol I wish. I would love this to be all over in 4 months... perhaps that is a little optimistic?

Hey Matty,

As for us, we got the NOA2 on Nov26, the file was sent to NVC on Dec10th, and they received it on Dec19th (we called as soon as they open their office). Now (Jan17th) we should get our Case Number any time.

So it takes more than a month to get your case number. But again, there are no rules, some people get them faster.

It is great you got your NOA2, welcome to NVC! Join us on

 

Take care,

Alix

I see almost all April 2019 filler for Potomac service center are approved, but my case is still stuck in NO1 Heartbreaking. I am really, feeling left behind.

you're not the only one, I  put the paper in late April and my case is still "Recived" no updates yet, keep in mind they only update their system every 15th of each month, so keep your eyes open around February 15th for an update.

Hi LIfiler17,

How are you?

I remember we submitted almost at the same time and I was wondering whether you have any news from NVC.
