Then, on 11/5/16 we were told that we needed to send additional documents. There were not asking for anything additional, they were asking for my husband's passport. We sent it a 2nd time and we have been waiting since. We have called several times to the NVC asking for an estimate on when our case will be reviewed and we had the most bizarre answer from a supervisor: "we cannot predict the future". I have been calling every day until finally on 3/24/17 we were told that our case was complete and that we should receive an interview for may within the 2 weeks. What is concerning is that the next day we received a letter stating that we are missing the police report for my husband. We sent a complete package including the passport we sent twice and the police report. There are certainly serious issues when they receive their package and scan it. They are obviously losing documents when they receive them. Finally we have an interview May 10th in Bogota. Interview rescheduled for May 17th. Result: Subject to 10 year bar. The bar will expire on Jan 2018. Were told to wait to receive instructions on how to proceed after the bar expires. Update - My husband's bar expired on Jan 10th. We received an email from the Bogota Embassy to submit his passport with new medical exams and police report. We submitted the full package to the CAS in Bogota on January 31st. We are waiting to hear from the Embassy. The immigrant visa was approved on February 8th. Received on February 13. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 127 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 449 days from your I-130 NOA1 date.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
