Hello my fellow VJ families.... 

   Okay, so our file was approved on the 23rd of October, we haven't heard from NVC yet. Should we call them (NVC) now, or we should just chill and wait till we hear from them?.

   Then secondly, who has a similar timeline to ours and have you heard from NVC already, or did you call or wait? 

And our file was approved from Texas Center.

   Best of luck to every one of us on our Visa Journey. XOXO 💕💕💕💕

I was approved same day- also from Texas . I actually called NVC yesterday and they said to call back in another week, they were currently assigning case numbers from petitions they received on 10/21, and they received mine on 11/06. 
Best of luck!!!

Hi Sea Leslie I have bring lucking around have said anything since most people here are filing for the spouse am filing for my mom and dad my mom is at the nvc stage and she file for her police report back in September and still haven’t got it she keep getting the round around,I know it might not mean much as I know nvc need it, I just submit all her documents with a letter and  receipt of the police record showing that she applied for it. I haven’t hear anything from them as yet. My dad applied for his Police record last month and they told him 2 to 3 months since they’re still having a lot of blockage am just giving up heads up hope your husband get his soon.

Thanks for the update, he went to the police station on Friday and they told him to come back on Wednesday. In the meantime, I have submitted everything the NVC has asked for too. Where did you submit the request for the police report?

Is there anyone who has an interview scheduled at the Dominican Republic Embassy for December, January or February,  that was approved  at the NVC stage in either October or Nobember??? Thanks in advance.

This forum is for all NVC filers; you sent a link to a forum for Mexico and Latin America to someone from the UK so I just wanted to let you know that what you sent was not applicable to them as they are not interviewing in Mexico or Latin America, so their wait time for an interview will be way different than yours, as wait times in consulates in Europe are generally much quicker to be scheduled than consulates in other regions such as Canada, Mexico, India, etc (though there are exceptions like France where the wait is 5 months)

Hi @LilyJ

 

i am from France , waiting for NVC to review my case ( I will be at 6 weeks wait next week )
where did you saw that the wait time for interview is 5 months for France please ? 
thank you for your answer 🙂

I think I read it somewhere but maybe I got it mixed up with another country, I haven’t checked too much into the wait times for very many countries, it could be way shorter and me remembering wrong

We received NOA 2 on the 7th November and our case was sent to NVC Yesterday. I am currently in Canada, however I will be in India for the next 3-4 months. Can someone shed light on whether I can select my interview location in a different country than the one where you live? Thanks  

You could request your case be sent to India instead, but I wouldn’t recommend it, as you’d likely be back in Canada before an interview spot in India ever even opens up with how backlogged Mumbai is. Better to keep the interview in Canada

Oh ok , it’s just that I am desperately searching . Because if it take again so long we will have definitely to stay in France for another year ..

NVC is not in a rush obviously even to schedule appointment so if then it’s 5months waiting we will have to wait after next summer for sure . 
thank you for your answer 🙏

I know the wait times are different for each country’s consulate. My Pd is October 9,2018 when I filed for my husband’s petition. The way I’m reading these timelines it looks like it might be 18 months or longer from start to finish before visa in hand these days instead of the original 13-14 months😩.  This year is almost over. I submitted all my documents to nvc on September 10 and had to resubmit one of the  same documents on October 22 yet still no word from them. I hope NVC doesn’t take another 8-9 months like uscis did...

Some NVC fun facts to take all our minds off of the busyness (unless everyone else already knew and I'm just behind 🤣) : You can find out what day your case was created and if you were 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc scanned into the system for your consulate that day! The 3 letters and first 4 numbers are (of course) the consulate and the year, but the next 3 numbers can tell you the date. If you take those three numbers, and subtract it by 500, then you can look at the Julian Date calendar and that tells you what day they created your case. The last 3 numbers tells you what petition you were that day scanned for that consulate! So if your last 3 numbers are 006, you were the 6th petition whose case was created for your consulate for that day. Here's the calendar if anyone wants to look at their case creation date! Ours was October 30, the day before we got our case number https://landweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/browse/calendar.html

Maybe everyone else already knows but I just found out about it and I thought it was fun, so I thought I would share for maybe others who also didn't know!

I thought it was so neat to see, it's also telling of how long it can take sometimes for them to send the email even when they have the case number already made but we all know already how slow they can be in all immigration departments 😂

Yay! We just submitted 2 days ago, I'm hoping it's way quicker than the rest of the process has been so far! Would love to have my husband here before my birthday and Valentines day! We've yet to celebrate my birthday or Valentines together face to face so I'm looking forward to our first real Valentines 🤩
