I talked to two operators who insisted that it was never received even though the AVR system stated it was, and so does USPS tracking of my package. They would not admit that they lost it. So I will send it all over again. 2009-06-04 I-864 package sent overnight again. Not happy. 2009-06-18 called NVC case complete!!! 2009-06-22 called NVC interview date given by operator for 2009-08-27 2009-06-23 Interview letter recieved in e-mail Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 217 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 344 days from your I-130 NOA1 date.

Consulate Review: Jamaica Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 29, 2009 Embassy Review : My husband went to the interview alone and said it was a breeze. They only asked him basic questions such as where your wife lives and when were you married. I had all extra copies of everything I could think of together for him in a folder and pictures of us, but they never asked for them. The only things they asked for was his passport and medical packet. I am beginning to think that if you have all the paperwork in order, then there are no problems. My husband said everything was straight forward. We are both so excited about him coming home next week that I keep forgetting to ask him more about the interview. Rating : Very Good

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
