Is this a NVC Case Complete letter??

[Ahmadba 1]

Hey all, We have received an email from the NVC and I was not sure if this mean that we are at Case Complete? The CEAC status website still shows "At NVC" and furthermore we emailed our documents May 27 2021 so like 13 days ago and according to the NVC Timeframe we should not be done yet and we still have a month to go.

 

The email states:

 

"

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

The National Visa Center (NVC) received all the requested documentation for this immigrant visa case. The applicant is now in the queue awaiting an interview appointment overseas, where a consular officer will adjudicate the applicants visa application.

.

.

When an Appointment is available, we will notify the applicant, petitioner, and attorney (if applicable). The applicant can prepare now by reading about the embassy's interview requirements online at https://nvc.state.gov/interview. Thank you for your patience.

"

 

Is this a Case Complete email or is it an email stating that they received our documents and are going to start to review it?

 

Thanks

Yes.  Your case is in the queue.  This is the process:

1. Case is DQ'd by NVC.

2. Case then enters NVC queue for your consulate and waits at NVC.

3. Consulate informs NVC of available interview date for upcoming month.

4. NVC schedules interview when case reaches the front of the queue for that consulate.

5. NVC notifies person of interview date via email.

6. NVC then sends case to consulate.

After the interview is scheduled, it can take several days to several weeks for the consulate to receive the case.

So wait time for interview varies per country? We live in rather small country that only does like 100 immigrant visas per month. I hope then we get an interview quickly wow, maybe thats why our documents where reviewed quickly hmm. 

 

But from what I understood from number 3 is that we can only have an interview at fastest in July, which is still fast I'll take it.

 

But I didn't quite understand the "It can take several days to several weeks for consulate to receive case" part. Does that effect how soon the interview can happen or is it for the CEAC website to update? Our case is electronic processing surely it can't take that long to transfer but still very interesting why would they need all that time lol.

 

Anyways, Thanks a lot for the information!!

Of course, it does.  Some consulates have more people already waiting in line.  NVC schedules interviews for each case at the front of the queue as slots become available at individual consulates.

The interview is scheduled prior to the records being placed in transit to the consulate.

Ahh that makes it better for us small country people. There is also a thing I heard from my dad about some sort of priority for interview and us being employment visa means that we are in the least in priority, I think this might hit us in terms of getting an interview very fast but one can only hope for the best haha.

 

Maybe thats only in our embassy not sure but yeah it seems like other countries do first come, first serve.

 So it shouldn't affect us, cool!

 

Again, thanks a lot for all the information and I hope you stay safe, happy and healthy!

i think you case is in line to be reviewed by NVC you will be sent another letter when its complete

i want to confirm did you contact NVC before you got this letter as a reply ?... if you enquire from NVC and you got this as a reply ..i doubt it's what you've been waiting for .....because i have the same issue i contacted NVC 3 month after uploading all my documents and i got this same letter in march 2020 meanwhile i uploaded in December 2019..my PD is feb 2019, and i later got a DQ letter in march this year .. the two letter looks similar except there is a time frame in one and the other has no time frame ,DQ letter will have something like 60 days notice or 120 days notice ..i've had both already

Our letter is exactly as your first letter from the NVC, the March 2020 one.

 

Your other letters seems to be just to tell you that you have had DQ and yet to have an interview, its more of an notice letter.

 

As the last letter tells you that "Immigrant visa is documentarily complete at the National Visa Center (NVC) and has been since 05-MAR-2020 (The date you mentioned you got  the first DQ email)". so I doubt there is an issue with you getting DQ just an misunderstanding. Hopefully you get your interview soon. 

 

I'm not sure how backlogged the Nigeria embassy is and how COVID-19 affected it but I'm pretty sure thats the issue, as according to their website they are doing limited immigrant visas and it seems that your EB-4 visa case might take a while because its not in priority, you can check here if there are updates in the future https://ng.usembassy.gov/visas/.

I have called them not emailed before that but it was because some mail/email issue in our civil documents. So i doubt they would send us an email about our case when we called them and the never said they will email us about are call when we did. 

 

But, I will call them right now and double check. I'll update you when I get an answer.
