Sorry to hear that. What is the reason why its taking so long? Waiting for the packages or any other things?

They declined my original I-864 and it took 2 weeks to reach them because it was one if the times CEAC site was down and everyone was calling I guess and I couldn't get through to them. I was calling 50+ times a day for 2 weeks before I ever even got put on hold to speak to someone. After a nearly 2 hour hold I did and they told me they didn't know why it was denied and to resubmit it and it should be fine. Well, it wasn't, they declined again and this time my congressman found out because it was an old document (even though I got it following the USCIS link) and it was 1 page shorter than the new one. They told him I should just put a blank sheet of paper at the end and resubmit AGAIN. That sounded insane to me so I called and after many calls and an hour + wait again and a talk with another insanely rude a-hole NVC employee found that there is a newer version than I had that was 10pg instead of 9pg so I filled out the newer 10pg I-864 and submitted it for a 3rd time. Everything else of mine and hers is already approved except for this. The first and second tries were 7 weeks wait each. Mon. will be 8 weeks on this try. The really stupid part is the only differences are the last 2 or 3 pages between the old and newer I-864 is the lawyer and legal translators releases that we are not using so they are left blank anyway. No reason this ####### is so ridiculous and absolutely no reason for their employees to be as helpless and rude as they are. Hopefully this week or next we will be done with this nonsense and move on to the medical and interview and be done...

Should I dare to hope this means the processing time is shortening? I'm all the way in November 2019, so that would be good news. 

It’s probably a result of all those February case transfers. All those Feb cases were sent out elsewhere, so they were able to get to March faster

Our CR1 Journey:

 

USCIS Stage:

  • Feb 14 2019: NOA1 (NSC)
  • July 31 2019: I129f NOA1
  • Sep 19 2019: I129f NOA2 (Denied - 50 days from NOA1)
  • Sep 19 2019: I130 NOA2 (Approved - 217 days from NOA1)

 

NVC Stage:

  • Sep 27 2019: Sent to Department of State
  • Oct 31 2019: Case number received (34 days since sent)
  • Nov 1 2019: IV & AOS fees received & paid
  • Nov 14 2019: IV & AOS submitted
  • Dec 18 2019: All docs accepted, but one additional doc requested (5 weeks from submission)
  • Dec 18 2019: Requested doc submitted
  • Feb 19 2020: Documentarily Qualified (9 weeks from 2nd submission, 14 weeks from first submission)

 

Interview Stage:

  • Mar 11 2020: Interview letter received
  • Apr 1 2020: Interview date
  • Mar 17 2020: Interview cancelled due to COVID-19
  • August 3 2020: Rescheduled letter received, new appointment August 25 2020
  • August 25 2020: Visa approved at interview! (558 days from NOA1)
  • September 10 2020: Embassy received passport in mail
  • September 15 2020: Passport with visa in hand

 

October 11 2020: Arrived in US!

Oh about those transfers .. many of them have already been approved. Some of them were sent to DoS for visa processing (I'm guessing that's the NVC part), which I guess it also means approved.
