Thank you bro. I had suspicion that they might slow down because of the virus. Yours will get approved soon. GL

I'm still waiting on the NVC response.  I was thinking of calling, but since @hermise is saying it took just over a month, I will wait until April 1

I called them at least once a week after it got approved to make sure it got there. They will let you know when they received it. They say it may take up to 6 six weeks for NVC to receive your case from USCIS.

Congratulations on getting to NVC!

 

Mine still hasn't got there yet, or at least I haven't had a letter or an email, I was thinking I'd just wait the 6-8 weeks then call (it's already been 7 weeks) but I'm not sure how coronavirus is affecting the processing.

 

Hope everybody is staying safe.

So far so good 😊 we are practically stay home stay safe.

 

you should call them and check maybe they will be able to give you a case number and start the process.

 

good luck and stay safe

Thank you Tonka.

 

I called them once a week after it got approved. They will let you know when they received it. You should be hearing something by now. NVC is still working on cases (creating case number). That is not affected by the coronavirus. Every Monday they update their time frame. Last week they worked on 7 days cases. They crated case numbers for cases that were received on 11th March. This is the link.  https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html

 

And congratulations Youssef for getting your case approved.

Thank you 🙏

Youssef got approved? I missed that, very happy for you Youssef, sorry it took a lot longer than ours but now the longest part is over. 😁

 

Thanks also Hermise, I was about to call them on monday but apparently no need, my NVC case was created this morning (it was a nice email to wake up to) so I logged on and I've just paid my AoS fee, now to wait the couple days for the payment to clear...

 

This feels more real now, especially since they are mailing me directly and not just mailing my wife 😎

On Feb 7th it was approved and I'm not sure exactly when it was sent or received, but it took around 8 weeks to get the email.

 

I imagine COVID-19 has delayed things a little.

Congratulations to both Tonka and Grand for getting the NVC case numbers. If you have all the documents ready, it will take only 5-7 days to submit everything. Don’t wait too long. Payment will be cleared in 2-3 business days. AOS application takes 30 minutes. Do the EZ form for AOS if there is only one applicant and you are supporting with your own income. DS260 will take like 2 hours to complete. Then, it is just a matter of uploading documents. 

Document review right now take a little over 2 months.
