DQ vs Case Complete. Is there a difference?

[HelsinkiFi 14]

Hi y’all! 
 

I’ve been doing a lot of googling and I’m finding some pretty contradictory information online. Is getting DQ’d the same as case complete? 

We got DQ message from NVC last week but when I contacted the local embassy they told me that the case is still at NVC even though the DQ email says that NVC will now work with the local embassy to schedule an interview. 

We’re CR1 and husband is USC. Embassy told me that they are going to schedule an interview but they haven’t received the package yet. Status on CEAC still says “at NVC”. 

Some sources online claim that if your CEAC status says ”at NVC”, that means that they haven’t looked at the DS260 form yet but that would seem odd since we already got the DQ email and surely the DS260 is also reviewed with the rest of the documents. I can’t seem to find concrete answer whether DQ means that everything is truly ready or is the more waiting before the case is sent to local embassy. 

 

I’m wondering whether I should do something and make sure that everything is in order or just wait patiently. My apologies for a very long post!

I believe this means that NVC completed the review and is ready to send the documents over to the embassy once the embassy is ready to schedule the interview.

I am in the same boat. My documents were reviewed by NVC and DQ´d in May. I´ve been waiting for my interview to be scheduled. My documents continue to be at NVC because the consulate in Rio de Janeiro is only taking "emergency" interviews for the time being. Once they fully open, I anticipate they will schedule all the interviews that were cancelled during this time, then they will schedule the expedited ones and THEN get to ordinary ones, like mine.

So, in other words: your docs will only leave NVC once the embassy/consulate opens for interviews and it´s your turn to be scheduled.

Hope this makes sense and is helpful!

In the same boat as Hilde for Brazil. Just got DQ'ed today. Looks like a long wait ahead of us.

Yup... looks like a long wait. I see people who were DQ´d in March have interviews scheduled for February - but that can get cancelled any minute... so we wait.

Waht's the interview wait time in Finland for CR1 visa?
