IR-5 NVC given current stoppage

[miggg 3]

Wondering if anyone's seeing IR-5 applications get documentarily qualified right now given current stoppage in visa issuing? Was hoping that they would keep that part of it going regardless and hold at the visa interview stage. Any IR-5s get DQed by NVC since the order?

 

Thanks!!

Wondering the same thing. Based on the posted timelines, my IR-5 application should be coming up for NVC review in a few days (though they barely moved last week, from Feb 11 to Feb 13 applications...) I'll post if I hear something / not hear after they've moved past my submission date, but would love to hear if others have had their docs processed (qualified or returned). I'm very worried if they stopped processing parents completely, this will lead to massive delays for us.

 

Edit: Just saw in another thread someone (with a spousal app) got a response and they had submitted Feb 26. This is a few days after I submitted my application. Per NVC website, they are still going through older applications (Feb 13 as of Monday) so hopefully there's still a chance.

Another post in a different thread also reports a DQ (spousal visa) after submitting on Feb 24, again almost a week after my IR-5 submission. Not feeling good about it but will wait to see until posted NVC timeline goes past the date I submitted...

Update: my mom just got a DQ! So NVC is still processing parents / siblings, though who knows how their place in line for interview will be affected by the freeze on green cards for these categories. In any case, so far at least things are moving at NVC!
