Hi everyone, 

we filed 183 days ago. MSC #. We received the 48 month extension letter a little over 3 weeks ago, but no biometrics appointment. Should we be worried or does that mean the will use prints from his CR1 visa process? 
 

just wondering. We travelled fine with the extension letter so I am in no rush and he will apply to citizenship this year. Josh wondering if is unusual to wait so long to biometric appointment. 
 

thanks!

I'm not convinced that MSC is actually worse than any of the other service centers. I also think it's going to be difficult to determine how fast/slow these centers actually are these days. Data taken from prior to the pandemic is no longer useful because the number of conditional visas that were issued during the pandemic is much different than it was prior.

 

At any rate, you can see the data from VJ users here:

There's not a ton of data to go on from any of the centers -- which is just a reminder that people should keep their timelines updated. The more people who provide info, the more accurate estimates we can have.

thanks! appreciate the link. I had been looking for something like this. Well, hopefully it's not as bad as people make it see online. I've heard horror stories >,<

Did anyone mail their package via USPS? Mine got delivered on the 19th of September to the PO Box and I still haven’t received any correspondence from USCIS. I noticed most people use fedex or ups and get a receipt within 3-4days. I’m currently going on day 5 now and nothing. Getting really worried as it shows delivered but no notification and money order has not been cashed either. Sigh just wondering if anyone else has experienced delays receiving the e-notification  

I used usps for ours. it arrived on 9/21 and we received the NOA 10/4 (dated as  of 9/28)

Hello, 

Anyone able to direct me to any helpful/supportive FB groups for CR1/IR1 spouses of Cuban nationals? My husband--currently in the island--and I are awaiting for our case to be completed by NVC. I am completely in despair after reading so many comments about the wait time for an interview in Guyana. I'd appreciate any help in finding groups in FB. VJ has been so helpful, but i feel like there's only a handful of cases of folks with loved ones in Cuba.
