Been In NVC Since June

[senya 1]

I'm trying to find out what I can do. My wife's case has been at the NVC since June. I know that they should be getting to her case at some point judging from other people's reports of getting interviews when they applied in May. At what point should I contact someone and who should I contact?

You are I-130  IR/CR-1 visa?   Did you receive the DQ notice (documents qualified)?   NVC will schedule the interview with the embassy, if you need to contact someone it would be NVC at this point.

NVC should have sent your case to the embassy by now. If I were you, I'd email NVC with an expedite request. Claim financial hardship and include something related to that and have some evidence. "I spend money in the US and the Philippines." Manila accepts the majority of expedite requests. They won't actually prioritize your case, but it will move it from NVC to Manila and then you can hound USEM about it.

USEM claims they are not fully operational, but they approved 200 spousal visas last month. This is the same number they were doing pre-covid.

I still haven't heard anything back. I don't know if I have proof of financial hardship except for for losing 1100 dollars thanks to the recent travel ban and 200 dollars I sent her a few months ago.

Try it out. It won't hurt your case if they deny the expedite.

True enough. Do you know of any good templates? I see the requirements, but I'd love to see a sample of a letter written out.

Search on this forum. That's where I got my template.

If you do not have a legitimate hardship, then you should not be requesting an expedite based on it. There are people who have lost jobs and have not worked for months because of the pandemic. Frivolous expedite request only hurt everyone.
