    DQ = Documentarily Qualified. Once you've got your Welcome Letter and paid your fees, about a week later you'll have to submit your DS-260 and upload or send your documents, it then takes about 2-3 weeks to become documentarily qualified (or to receive a request for other documents). This thread is for those who have submitted documents in April, you'll be on the May thread I'd think. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html The fees will depend on how you're applying. Good luck.

    Let's hope tomorrow is a positive day for both of us. Good luck!

    Thank you. What about your status check, did it still just say 'at NVC' or something else? Have you heard anything at all since you send the requested doc? Mine were received on 5th (although late in the day so I suspect won't have been opened until the 6th), so going on that timescale I might hear tomorrow or the next day. Will keep you posted. 🤞

    Congrats!

    Nope, not yet. Going on NVC timescales today would be DQ day, but as it seems to be a bit longer for postal submissions I'm not expecting it yet. Out of interest, those who have been DQ'ed, did you just get the email or did anything change in your account or when checking your status? For some reason NVC didn't have our email address previously for the Welcome Letter (only our lawyer and petitioner got it), we contacted NVC and asked them to add it and they said they had but until the DQ email comes we won't know for sure……..

    No, it doesn't, but just checking you were aware - many people aren't.

    Have you seen the May Visa Bulletin? Unfortunately the final action date for EB-2 will retrogress further to 15th Feb 2022.

    Thank you. Hope you can get the L1 quickly.

    No spouse visa, but we had applied for an immigrant visa via EB1 (employment). That's also going super speedily, applied in February and should have it by the summer going on current timescales. It's all been much quicker than I'd anticipated.

    No, no visa previously. Just met the criteria by being an O applicant and having travelled on the VWP before - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/important-announcement-on-waivers-of-the-interview-requirement-for-certain-nonimmigrant-visas.html

    If they do Premium Processing it could be super quick - we had our O visas in no time at all via London recently. No interview was required as we met the requirements for the interview waiver, it took 10 days from the I-129 being submitted to having the request to send our passports for visa issuance. From submitting the petition to having the visas in hand was just over 4 weeks.

    Ugh, I'm really sorry. Hope you don't have too long to wait.

    By the time her PD is current, her children will be adults or close to it, so they might decide they want to move as well.

    I think you've misunderstood what Mike E has said. See all the answers already given to this question above.

    Please add me, my documents were received at NVC on 5th April (EB1, mailed). Good luck to all.
  16. appleblossom
    The latter is certainly correct, as that’s what the DOS website says “The U.S. Embassy or Consulate General tells NVC what dates they are holding interviews, and NVC fills these appointments in a first-in, first-out manner.” From what I can gather, IL’s seem to be sent out once or twice a month.

    Congrats! I hope they surprise you. Keep us posted and good luck.
  19. appleblossom
    I hope it's quicker for you and you don't have to wait as long as us, if it's just one document then fingers crossed for you.
  20. appleblossom
    I can finally be added to the list, as our documents were delivered today (5th April). Two days later than expected, UPS rather brilliantly received them in the US and then put them straight back on a plane to the UK. 🙄 EB1, all UK documents so hopefully fairly easy to verify. Now the waiting for DQ starts…….. Good luck to all.
  21. appleblossom
    That's massively helpful thank you. I'm expecting to have to cancel the interview date we're given as well and reschedule, we're EB1 though so just hoping it's the same process for us and we don't have to wait until the original interview date to do so.
  22. appleblossom
    Dates for filing do affect it though (so somebody born in India or China couldn't submit docs now), but yours is before that anyway. Might be worth filling in your immigration timeline in your profile if you wouldn't mind? It's always helpful to others in the same category, especially as there aren't many of us that are EB's on here.

    Has EB2 retrogressing affected you, when is your PD and from which country? Just wondered if that may be why you haven't heard.
