Hello all.  So still waiting for CEAC to show that I paid.  I was wondering if we can fill out affidavit of support and immigrant visa app on the same day or not or if one should be filled out before the other?  Thanks! 

Any order, at the same time if you want, uploading and submitting the same day if you already have everything instead of waiting will get you in line for review faster

The popular explanation for some people getting DQ'd earlier than others is different officers looking at cases from different regions. The officer assigned to our region is either super slow or inundated with work or both.

 

Can't do much except waiting.

Not sure if that's even the case at this point. Since we haven't seen any quick DQs from any region in a while.. Everybody seems to be taking long now

They seem to be losing a day every week. I don't expect to hear anything (good or bad) before February 24th (submission was on Dec 17th).

 

I can't even imagine how long the wait would be if I have to resubmit. It's fun waiting on NVC after having burned all that time at Nebraska.

Has anyone from Canada had to obtain a police clearance from the UK?  I paid to expedite and wondering if the 4 day estimate is accurate?

Hello everyone!  I filled out ds 260 and now I'm going to start collecting civil documents.  What is meant by photographs? Is it a 2x2 Pic with a white background or is it pictures that show connection between me and my husband like wedding pics and stuff like that?  Thanks!

Thanks.  The s in photographs confused me into thinking we might need to upload more than one Pic...

I am still waiting for my case number. But was wondering, when the time comes, will I first fill out the DS-260 and then, based on that info provided, attach the civil and financial documents or are the documents requested before filling out the DS-260?

thanks all!
