Case Processing
my case
Hello everyone. I wanted to share the history of my case. My husband is Albanian but has had an American passport for almost 2 years. I am currently in Albania, waiting on the immigration process for about 4 years now. We first applied in 2021. In 2022, it was denied (due to suspicion that the marriage was for papers). On April 8, 2024, the case was re-submitted. On July 5, 2025, the case became “actively being reviewed,” and two days later, on July 7, 2025, the decision came out as approved.
Now, please tell me — how long does it usually take from this point until I receive the visa or get the interview?
Thank you if you can give me any information because this process has been very frustrating.

NVC CEAC + US Visa Scheduling Both Down?
Is anyone else having trouble getting onto the NVC website? My husband submitted his civil documents the morning of July 4th, and since then, we have had issues logging onto the site.
I’ve tried Safari, Chrome, and Firefox via my laptop, and he did the same. We even tried using Incognito Mode, but to no avail.
We tried both links to CEAC. Nope, nothing.
What DID work was when we turned off wifi and went on Apple’s Safari via our cellular data. Suddenly, we are logged in successfully…
The usvisascheduling site is also lagging terribly. It allows us to log on, but we cannot select our visa category when we are in. We hope it’s just because we haven’t been DQed yet. Does anyone have any experience using this website? We were told to make an account there as well…but I don’t hear many people mention this site. It supposedly allows you to schedule your interview, but I thought the consulate decides when the interview occurs?
Thank you everyone. This is a wild journey for all of us. 😅🙏

Vawa case
Hey, I wanted to share something personal. I left my husband about 3 years ago. A few months ago, he wanted to reconcile and even went to some anger management and AA classes, but then he stopped. Unfortunately, he started being emotionally abusive again and hit me once. I never withdrew my application because my lawyer advised me not to because what if he doesn’t change . Now I just found out I’m pregnant and I’m worried it might affect my case or be seen as fraud. I do have a lot of evidence of the abuse though. my Vawa has been pending for 31 month now
Is anyone from the IOE09229 group still waiting for a decision?
I received an RFE in February 2025. My priority date is November 2, 2023, and I submitted my RFE response on April 24, 2025. The status changed to “actively being reviewed” on May 8, 2025 — and since then, I haven’t received any updates.
Everyone else in my group received a decision within 15 days of their case moving to “actively being reviewed,” but in my case, it’s now been 2 full months with no response.
👉 Is anyone else going through something similar?
