Hello,
I am sponsoring an IR/CR-1.
I am wondering how the 1-year petition completion application rule is enforced at NVC. My case was received by NVC on February 20th, 2022 and I received an email from them on March 15th, 2022 with the bill to pay. I paid the two fees the same day. I have not formally submitted any document since then due to various circumstances. But, I have been logging onto CEAC and was working on the DS-260 recently.
Does this mean that the petition will expire on March 15th 2023, since that is a year since I made my account? Or does the 1-year timer restart every time I login to CEAC. Or do I have to submit the DS-260 to restart the timer, or do I have to have all documents (DS-260, civil documents, AOS) submitted in CEAC?
Thanks for your help?
