My wife has a document approval status from NVC.  But the case is still at NVC.  Can someone tell me how long is it taking right now for a spouse visa case to be transfered from NVC to Islamabad, Pakistan?

 

My apologies if this question has been answered here before.

The case will remain at NVC until it reaches the front of the queue of others already waiting for interviews.  My understanding is that it could take many months.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

It's taking approximately 2 years from the point that you are documentarily complete at NVC. 

 Islamabad embassy is just too slow. Currently, people who are documentarily qualified Dec 2021 are having their interviews done in October 2023.

My DQ is Nov 2022 so my husband might not get an interview until Sept 2024
