It's been 7 months since DQ for my wife's I-130, still no interview date from NVC. Is this normal?

[Walter94 7]

Our case has been documentarily qualified at the NVC since May of last year, but we still have not been contacted for an interview date. It was my understanding that the embassy in Manila didn't have much of a backlog for processing spousal visa cases. Any idea what's going on here? Is there a way to request an expedite, or to at least request more info on the status of our case?

 

Thanks

Manilla is slow and I am pretty sure that applies to all cases.

We have the same case. I have been documentary qualified at NVC since June last year yet I'm still waiting for my interview. My lawyer submitted an expedite humanitarian request since my wife gave birth of twins yet nothing happens.

Have you filed a CRBA

 

Do I take it that there are medical complications?

Wont be good if she gets her visa and your children don't have the CRBA.

He is the individual seeking the visa.  The "wife" appears to be the USC.

Is your case still at NVC? I heard NVC is getting huge backlog. I have been looking at timelines of IR/CR here and I noticed last nvc left case is last June 29. Nothing after that but plenty of nvc received since then. Little concerned here because I got DQ on my case couple weeks ago

Except that poster is not who you responded to in regards to CRBA.

Thanks, that thread was very helpful. Many people there were talking about "auto-expedites" happening in batches. Does this happen without the petitioner doing anything at all, or do they usually auto-expedite cases where someone has already sent in an expedite request in the past?
