Approved April/May/June Filers waiting for NVC

[jundibasam 0]

I got the email that NVC received my petition and it has been forwarded to USEMB in Lima as of 11/09/2007, so according to the USEMB, wife should get the packet within the next 7-10 days, F-I-N-A-L-L-Y!!!

The only thing that has me a little bothered is the embassy closes for the holidays around the 15th and won't reopen again until after the new year, so she probably won't be here for Christmas or New Years with the family, which is a bummer. I'll hold out a sliver of hope that the embassy can work us in for an interview before the 15th. She already has her medical and most of her documents prepared (except her federal check, which the embassy requires to be within 30 days of the interview date), so she is about ready. Lets just hope for an early as possible interview

Congrats on your petition being sent to the embassy. It's a shame if she won't make it to spend Xmas with you but it will still be a wonderful start to the new year I'm hoping they manage to push her interview through in time I had wondered how long their Christmas holidays would be.

jundibasam, cool... lucky you!

So, if yours was approved on 10/15 and mine on 10/30. I guess it will be another 15 days before they send our docs to embassy abroad. Hopefully, they will be their at the end of this month.

On December, 12 I will fly out to my wife for a whole month (WOW!!!). Is it would be nice if docs get in Ukraine at the end of November and, lets say, interview would be scheduled at the beginning January, so I can be at the interview with my love?

And I still don't get them (USCIS), they have not update my online status to "approved" since then (even though I got my official letters more then a week ago). Strange people are working there, very strange and, sometimes, some of them are so incompetent; that this is even not funny.

Where did you see the embassy closes on December 15? On the website it only shows it closes for Christmas. Please let me know the dates they are closed.

Thanks,

That is strange, but not uncommon. My co-worker is applying for a K-1 for his wife from Peru also, and he received the approval notice in the mail, but USCIS never updated the case status online to this day. His visa petition was also sent to the embassy in Lima, Peru the same day as mine, as he was approved on 10/18/2007. I know a few months back, they had some data entry issues, and there was even an article about it in the Washington Post, so it appears they still haven't quite worked out all the bugs to this thing.

Reminds me of the time a few years back the FBI spent 400 million dollars to upgrade their computers so they could be compatible with the rest of the law enforcement and intelligence community, but the compatibility software ended up not being compatible to their old operating system, so they had to scrap the whole program after it was already completed...taxpayer 400 million down the drain just like that, gotta love it!

The official holiday is only one day post on the embassy's website; however, what the government refers to as "exodus" because so many government employees take leave for the holidays, begins close of business on 12/14/2007 and will run through 01/02/2007. My wife and I used to work at the embassy, hence how we met, and I checked with a friend of ours still there. They will still be staffed, but most non-essential personnel will be leaving during this time. So judging from past experiences, i'm only saying that they don't perform many visa functions during this period since the consular section is on a skeleton staff with mostly Peruvian nationals and a few COs who stay behind for various reasons.

The average time to get to NVC is now down to about 2 and half weeks. E.g. I got my NOA2 on 10/22 and made it to NVC on 11/08, same with jordanluvr. SilverFuel was approved 10/23 and got the NVC on 11/07!

junibasam was at the tail end of the group where it was taking 4-5 weeks. Hope that time doesn't get longer again. Best of luck

Called today, NVC received our packet today. Said that they will send it out by the end of next week. About 2 weeks from NOA2 and 1 week from lastest touch. Looking good. Hope others are getting in and out of the NVC quickly,

Cool. So the time to get to NVC from CSC continues to shrink. So far, everyone from our batch of approvals have gotten out of NVC and sent on to the embassy in 2 days.
