I was recently fortunate enough to earn an offer for a career position at a US company, to commence as soon as I’m in the US with my USC husband.

 

Due to ongoing delays and arbitrary errors at the NVC stage that we, nor our attorney were prepared for, the timeline for my CR-1 interview is still unknown.

 

As a result, I am about to lose the job offer, despite the company extending lots of patience so far. 

 

My question: is there a work permit I can apply for while waiting on this heartbreaking, uncertain process?  At the moment I am still in the Netherlands. The company is not able to offer this position in Manhattan remotely.

 

Please respond if you have RELIABLE information. Please also be kind… I’m heartbroken at the moment due to this NVC process and being away from my husband and young stepson. We are devastated due to the process.

Thank you in advance. ❤️

Where are yu in the process at NVC? Waiting for review or already DQ'd. Have you tried an expedite? you say errors at NVC? what's happening maybe we can help get you to at least DQ if not there already.
I worries me you have an attorney who did not advise you of these delays that have been like this since March  2020.

Hi! Currently awaiting DQ after an RFE that we responded to within two hours back on 7 Feb. The RFE was for a document that was ‘missing petitioner name’ which it wasn’t. We duly uploaded and have been in discussion with NVC over their error. Remains to be seen if we will be DQ or not soon. Myself and attorney have received conflicting information about our file each time we have called and spoken with tier 1 reps or disgruntled supervisors. This is the uncertain element, as we were delayed for no good reason, so that could happen again.

You might be able to apply for an expedite due to financial loss to a US company... 

although the consulate does contain the instruction not to quit a job, sell your house or make any big changes before the visa is secured. 

And they might say you jumped the gun by accepting a job offer before being DQ'ed/interview/visa was issued. 

 

ETA: Please fill out your timeline. It will help others from the same country figure out how long the wait is between DQ and interview. 

No. The financial loss would have to be for the petitioner.
