Thank you. I will post the timeline later today.. Thank you for pointing out and responding back.

Thank you. I believe it became current last year, have to check on that. As I said earlier today, the most recent update is the email from March. We just want to try to get it expedited but if he is to get his interview soon then it will be great. So if for some reason timelines move then it sounds like he may not get interview for another 7-8 months? We have consistently checking the CEAC website and watching for their emails.

Thank you for the quick response. So based on that, any idea on when he may get an interview scheduled? This is last update from NVC back in March: "This notice is to inform you that your case for an immigrant visa is documentarily complete at the National Visa Center (NVC) and has been since 29-Oct-2024. - This means that NVC received all of the fees, forms and documents required before an immigrant visa interview. Your petition is waiting for an interview appointment. Thank you for your patience. Your case will remain at NVC until an appointment is scheduled. Then, we will send it to the proper U.S. embassy or Consulate General. - We will notify the applicant, petitioner, and attorney (if you have one) when the appointment is scheduled." Just trying to find out more info on this. My mom is unable to travel overseas to see him so we are hoping his interview is done soon and is approved. Her health is deteriorating and she is stressed about his application. We are looking to the option to try to meet with local senator or congressman's office to see if they will help expedite it due to her health issue.

Hello, I am looking to find out how to read the Priority date for Family F3 request. The request is for my brother who falls in F3 category. So when I look at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2025/visa-bulletin-for-april-2025.html. I am confused as his NVC application shows Priority Date is Oct 2010. However, so I am trying to understand about it. The Visa Bulletin says they are at 01APR11 for F3 but as of the most recent email from them, it is waiting for interview to be scheduled. so did he miss something or am I misreading this table? it's been a while that i have looked into this priority date information. Also, i would appreciate if anyone can share their experience if someone had a recent interview for F3. Thank you so much.

Thank you. But the biggest concern now is that she will be 21 in April and I have had similar experience where when I applied for AOJ, it was denied. They had told me that once I turned 21, I could no longer be in the same visa category. As of now, their interview window is around 7-9 months.

Thank you so much. I appreciate it very much.

my apologies.. Visa category is F3 and priority date is April 01 2010.

Hello, I am hopeful someone will have some response to this topic. My brother's NVC case has been approved and all documentations have been accepted. As of now, he is waiting for the interview appointment letter. He is in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Does anyone know estimated Interview appointment time? I have looked on the Embassy website but they are referring to student visa or tourist visa. I did not see anything about immigrant visa. Thank you so much in advance.

Hello, Thank you in advance for answering. The question I have is that my niece is here in USA under student visa and currently enrolled at a university. However, my mom petitioned for her dad and she is also an applicant/dependent. NVC has reviewed and accepted all the documentations and now they are at Step 10 and waiting for interview appointment (Step 10 details are here: Interview Preparation. ) My question is regarding the medical exam, since she is in the USA legally at this moment, can she schedule the medical exam here or does she have to fly back to her home country for the medical exam part? They have yet to receive the interview appointment letter but we are being proactive on this. Since it takes time to schedule medical exam (I personally have done it as part of my green card years ago so I know that it could take days to get an appointment) so we want to be prepared. Thank you again to everyone who can help with this matter.

Sorry, I forgot to specify. I tried some of their options but this one i think worked for me: I solved the issue for someone else and saw that it had something to do with the file's property. Here is how you can solve it. Open the pdf in Word doc. Microsoft Word and save it under a different name since it will be read-only. After saving the file, save it as pdf. What is the file size for you? Mine was at 776KB but yet it was not working. So I did open it in WORD then saved it as a PDF. Then uploaded it. You can also try this option: We were having the same issue when even we reduced the file size to 365kb. I sent the original document to my email. Instead of downloading, open print option and "save as pdf" instead of "Microsoft print to pdf." That reduced the file size to 236kb, which i was able to attach and submit without any issue. For reference, the original file size was 443kb. Be sure to keep the original copy saved somewhere and create copies to follow these options..

My apologies for not sharing this sooner. This is how I got my submission issue addressed: https://www.reddit.com/r/NationalVisaCenter/comments/1fwevuv/error_affidavit_of_support_document_i864_invalid/?rdt=38184 Please review this thread and hopefully you can use this.

yes. i have submitted the application but they rejected 2 forms. One is the i-864 form in PDF and is sized at 776kb. The other is the birth certificate. I am getting "invalid image detected" for the i-864 form. For the birth cert, they are saying the format is wrong. The issue is that I asked the issuing office and they told me that they are not using the old format that is indicated by NVC. So not sure what to do next...

Thank you. I did reach out to NVC but their response is the same. Hopefully someone else will have a response.

Hello, I am working on DS260 form. When I try to upload the i-864 form as PDF (File size is 776kb), I am getting an error "Invalid Image Detected". I have tried using different browser but it still says the same thing. The other issue is that I have to upload 3 birth certificates but they are rejecting the file saying it's invalid format. The issue is that the issuing authority has updated all of their birth certificate forms. The US embassy/NVC (whoever is reviewing the files) keeps telling me to upload the correct format. I am not sure what to do now. The issuing office told me that they have no way to issue the old format. Thanks
