My father-in-law PapaPana is DQ since 9-10-2020. Am waiting for interview date before I can go back to college; child care is big issue. Delay twice because of this.

 

Twice over, Manila Communication Consulate (MCC) said no USCIS approved visa :huh: while NVC claimed DQ, all done. 🙄

 

I would scream: OOOOOOdd Squad!

I would like to think those law practitioners-for-paid and legal guide (the navigator-for-hired) out there: those who might like us not to perform DIY but letting them do all legal paperworks, pretending s/he know the best route for shortcut or else to apply jurisdiction, e.g. under the table, are merely fable and cannot stop us. This is information age we are living. WE all have same knot to tie, same kind of anxiety, same kind of sweat, of facing judgmental day whether CO grant our visa or not.

Question for you: will you be willing go through all navigating to learn and study trial and errors of others and then apply toward your pathway to get U.S. visa? Even this means making feedback or giving input from your candid observation.

Not sure what you mean by this.  USCIS does not approve visas, they approve petitions.  NVC DQ simply means they've reviewed the submitted documents.  Neither USCIS nor NVC have any control over whether there are available interview slots at the consulate in Manila.  Your FIL's case will sit at NVC until the consulate has available slots.

Hi! My mom’s IR5 case was DQ on Aug 2020 and she just got her interview date  yesterday and it will be on Nov 5. 

Hi lorisglen,

 

My mom’s was DQd June 2020 and her interview is on Tuesday 11/9. I got this email checklist about uploading all documents to CEAC before the interview. We have already done that before she got DQd when all docs were submitted to NVC. Does she need to do them all over again or whatever were uploaded previously are good to go?

I know. Why in the world Manila Consular Communications Group (Visa) would put it twice:

Dear Ms. Carlson:
 
We are writing in response to your August 9, 2021 inquiry regarding the immigrant visa case of (removed).... We have not received the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)-approved visa petition you filed on behalf of the applicant.  The visa petition is still with the National Visa Center (NVC).

 

Most interesting part is this, the first inquiry has name recognization, of Mr. Roger Pana. But with 2nd generic response doesn't:

As my wife appointed me to be her third-party agent, I clarified with NVC and got reassuring reply from them on October 13:

Quote

Dear Sir/Madam:

 

This case is now documentarily qualified. This means that the National Visa Center (NVC) has all of the documents we requested. Your application is now waiting for an interview appointment, where a consular officer will adjudicate it.

After all, why Manila Consular Communications Group raise the alarm? How did they know the nature of my father-in-law's case? NVC would naturally proceed, with Immigrant Visa Process, after obtain pass-through USCIS-approved visa petition (step 1) and paying AOS fees, through CEAC Processing.

 

I noticed this thread, to date, yield most positive success rate on IR5. After long thaw since the pandemic began, my best wishes to all applicants/petitioners on obtain their visa.

The email response you received based on your inquiries (which I myself received the same verbiage in the past when I inquired for my parents’ status), Manila US Embassy is telling you that they have not yet received your case for your FIL. This is very common and longer due to pandemic that cases after being DQ’d at the NVC (their role is to collect fees and necessary documents) will stay there until US Embassy in Manila notifies them of visa appointment interview availability. Once a visa interview becomes available, NVC will communicate this to you and forward your case to MNL USEm. For now, most DQ’d cases are at the NVC until interview appointment becomes available. And this is case to case basis. For example: Since my expedite request was approved, my parents’ cases were sent directly to USEm without NVC notifying me of interview schedule. MNL USEm will communicate directly to me of the appointment once determined.
 

US from I have read on yahoo news are now opening it’s borders to allow entry as long as fully vaccinated. Cross fingers that will speed up the backlog on the immigration system.

 

I do hope that your FIL receives his interview appointment and notice from NVC soon, and everyone here that are patiently waiting.

My mom’s was DQd June 2020 and her interview is on Tuesday 11/9. I got this email checklist about uploading all documents to CEAC before the interview. We have already done that before she got DQd when all docs were submitted to NVC. Does she need to do them all over again or whatever were uploaded previously are good to go?

 

You just need to upload all updated documents. Such as recent W2s and tax transcripts (ie 2020 tax transcripts). Be sure to bring the physical copy on her interview date! Goodluck to your mom!

Thank you! She had her interview done yesterday. She said the officer basically told her the recommendation is a visa approval.

 

You had a post where you showed a screenshot of the visa “issued” in CEAC. Was that right when you logged in? I can still log in and I don’t know where to find that.

Congratulations to you and your mom! You dont need to sign in on your ceac account. You just need to click this link https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx and put in your petition details and it will show you if they already updated it. It will say Issued if visa is approved and It will say Ready if they havent updated on their end!
