Great, thx for sharing. I did go this morning to get Police Cert, it will be ready for pickup in 3 days, and I still need to send it out for translation, looking at rush services like 1hr or so. Was really hoping to line up all docs and click Submit before Friday March 26th. And I am not happy with NVC timelines, they are still in dec 2020. This is gonna be another long year. 😨

I thought documents needed to be in English or in the language of the country you’re applying from? I mean I managed to get everything in English, but I thought English wasn’t the only option you had.

 

As far as NVC timelines go, from what I’m seeing on VisaJourney, it seems to move pretty fast at the moment. I’m hoping for a June flight to the States.

I already took a look, and also sent a message to the NVC. Below is what I found on VisaJourney, and what I have emailed to the NVC. Fingers crossed!

 

Heads up, I just logged into NVC and my IV fee shows as paid and I can start that application finally.

That's crazy fast DQing, hoping for the same. *fingers crossed*

Two out of three i-130 petitions finally approved (my hubby and son's) after what felt like an eternity of waiting! Just waiting for my daughter's now.  She had an RFE due to late registered birth certificate (she was born before my husband and I were married and it's British law to re-register after marriage). I have explained that with the RFE and hopefully they'll accept that 🤞🤞🤞 x x

Quite right, the wait for the USCIS is insane. It also doesn't help that all these organizations don't work a first come first serve system.

To be honest this doesn't change much during the NVC phase, the waiting times are just shorter in between steps. But I've seen NVC cases get DQ'd in between 4 days and 1 month, all in 2021.

I hope all our fellow September filers here something from USCIS soon.
