NVC Process

[Alex&Jen 20]

My case has been approved at USCIS and will be sent to NVC soon. My first question is...can I start filling out the documents that are needed to send in, or do I need to wait until they send me the packet? Also, can I submit the documents for me and my husband electronically or do they need to be mailed in? I will be in Honduras with my husband when we will be going through this process and am hoping I can just load everything electronically. My goal is to have everything ready and prepared to send in once they send me the packet. Also, is the NVC waiting time line as long as the USCIS waiting time line? 

 

Thank you!

It depends on which documents and how soon the next steps happen.  For example, such things as police certificates, etc. it is better to wait for the packet instructions.  Now, you COULD be working on some of the DS160 information and just complete and review it at the time the packet instructions are received.  In a general sense, it is always good to wait so that all of your documents are as recent as possible in comparison to the interview date.  I don't know about Honduras, but Argentina requires the P3 to be mailed or physically delivered.  The NVC can take up to 6 weeks to receive the case and issue a case number plus mail the approval to the local embassy from the date the NO2 from the USCIS is received.

Thank you! I have not received the official letter yet, however, my senator forwarded me the e-mail from USCIS and the day it was approved. I requested an expedite twice and was denied. My request was for financial hardship due to medical bills for our daughter.

Thank you so much for this information.
