Hi there,

 

Visa category: F4

 

I have submitted all of my documents including affidavit of support, DS260 and civil documents to CEAC online on 25th February 2020. Its been more than 10 weeks of my first submission which is the Affidavit of support, but still there's NO SINGLE REVIEW from CEAC end so far. This is emotionally very frustrating and getting really stressful over the days. However, I've tried making an inquire through the NVC inquiry form but all I got in return is "THE DOCUMENTS YOU SUBMITTED ARE BEING REVIEWED" and this has happened twice.

 

In regards to the situation described, what actions can I take other than waiting or if I can apply for expedite under the basis of emotional hardship?

 

Any kinds of support and info will be appreciated. TIA

Lately NVC is taking longer to review documents. 
some people get it within 24 hours while for others it takes 2 months. 
 

i saw few approved documents in last two days for submissions on 20th February. So may be soon you can expect a response from them. 
 

no point calling them about this. They dont know the answer.

Have you looked at the reasons why this request could be approved? Are you the sole caregiver of an elderly person, are there any childcare issues, is your military service causing stress to your immediate family, or is the well-being of a child being impacted? Does your case fit into any of these? If not, you'll have to sit back and wait like the other thousands of people. 

Look at the middle of this page. What date does it show for "Current case review time"? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html Compare it with your date.

Hi there thanks for your response.

 

I am afraid I don't meet the above criteria, but my parents are getting curious about it which is frustrating. They're old and they just wants to meet their siblings ASAP and start living with them. However, there are 4 other aunts of mine they submitted on 22nd February and 2 of them already got their DQ. I hope I am able to make you understand the whole situation.

YES. Its not same for all. Every case is different. Dont compare it with your family. But if theirs submission date is same as your, you can expect that they are reviewing your documents. May be you get the email next week. 

 

All you can do is wait. Consulates are closed anyways. Nothing is going to happen to your case if you get DQ right now. Also theres EO in place.

I don't think there is an expedite for emotional hardship.  Otherwise, we all would have expedited our cases.  This process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and money.  You just have to wait.

Yeah and I've been dealing with this for the past 3 months physically, mentally and emotionally. Don't really know when this waiting is going to end. sad face GIF

But once I get my documents reviewed I can at least sit back and relax without worrying you know. This document things and waiting is really hectic

Honestly, nobody has any idea. Not even NVC has any idea because they are moving at a snail's pace currently because of "stay at home" orders that were in effect. Perhaps, now that many states are opening again (or I should say, forcing/pushing people back into the work place), perhaps their turn-around time may increase.

 

I've seen NVC go from an average turn around time of 53 days in December to 63-67 (during Jan 2020 - Feb 2020), and during the Pandemic 67-88 days. Unfortunately, as of June 1, it is now approximately 94 days turn-around time frame (from submission of all docs to receipt of DQ status).

 

Perhaps, the turn-around time frame may go down slowly as NVC offices begins welcoming back their workers to the office. Please keep mind that even if NVC completes your case, they cannot issue a definitive appointment date (if any) because of President Trump's immigration ban (if it applies to you). Lastly, not all cases are treated equally, despite being filed on the same day as other cases.

 

It's a waiting game my friend; your best option is to monitor the "Current case review time" here as others have posted already: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html

Thanks for your kind words @vincentlina . I am aware of the timeframe web page, according to the nvc time frame they are still working on documents submitted as at 14th februrary. I am just hoping that they may review my document in a week or 2, lets see how it goes. I am afraid if they dont see my documents with in documents, then my case may get expired.
