Our last submission was Dec 17th. Hopefully, we'll hear something soon as well. Seems like they're making progress on cases for Islamabad.

Hi there.

 

I am just trying to get my head around this - is this the time you have been waiting for your log in details or just for the NVC to mark it as received?

Once you get approved it might take around 2-4 weeks for the case to get be received by NVC.

 

NVC takes around 4-5 weeks to create a case number for you once they receive the case. The case number is used to login to CEAC.

 

You pay fees at CEAC. Takes around a week to two weeks for them to process payments.

 

Once your payments are processed you can complete your DS-260, submit civil documents, and Affidavit of Support documents.

 

It's taking NVC around 8-9 weeks to review documents which is what @Caresse33 was referring to. The 8-9 weeks is from the day you submit the last document.

 

 

These are all estimates. It might take longer or shorter for some people.

To potentially clarify, Caresse33 has been waiting for a month for NVC to approve the documents etc. that has been sent to the NVC. 

 

The parts you mentioned have already been waited for and happened. You can check out our timelines for an idea of those things but mileage will vary depending on if you have all documents ready etc.

How long it takes for an interview is dependent on your country, which country are you interviewing in?

Now that holidays are almost over after this, hope you all hear a good news from NVC soonest. 🙏

Really wish Visa Journey had better support for tracking and comparing cases at NVC level. Feeling in the dark about where they are processing cases for India right now.

The big beautiful bureaucratic wall is making our lives great again, by keeping us away from our family. All hail our great and magnanimous leader. Oh, what would we do with him?

 

Overall, the Immediate Relatives of U.S. Citizens fell from 566,706 in FY 2016 to 478,961 in FY 2018, a decline of 87,745, or 15.5%. Between FY 2016 and FY 2018, the U.S. granted lawful permanent residence to 36,209 fewer spouses of U.S. citizens (down 11.9%), 21,700 fewer children of U.S. citizens (a 24.5% decline) and 29,836 fewer parents (a drop of 17.2%).

 

The lower admission numbers for spouses, children and parents of U.S. citizens may reflect processing delays as well as policy changes that would prevent individuals from obtaining permanent residence.

 

 

Observers note that Trump administration efforts to reduce immigration could fill a book. The administration abandoned attempts to convince the House and Senate to reduce legal immigration via the traditional route of passing a new law after Congress rejected bills the White House either designed or supported. Given the failed efforts in Congress, lowering the number of legal immigrants by executive, regulatory and administrative means has become more important within the administration.

 

The latest statistics show efforts by administration officials to reduce legal immigration have, from their perspective, started to bear fruit. Favorable court rulings and another four years in power would mean even lower levels of legal immigration to the United States and fewer U.S. citizens allowed to have their spouses, parents and children come live with them in America.
