Kathi RamseyMar 31, 2022
no news. hope to hear if anyone in Jan got DQd this week to gain true insight into where NVC are currently
M CMar 31, 2022
on the visa journey « January 2022 NVC submissions » thread I saw 3 different people who submitted their documents early January and just got DQ this week
Kathi RamseyMar 31, 2022
thank you!
Shamondy OyelowoMar 31, 2022
I submitted my documents 1/13 & 1/14. If I hear anything, I will let you know. Wishing everyone the very best. 🤩🤩🤩
Kathi RamseyApr 1, 2022
wonderful! good luck, Shamondy!
Kathi RamseyApr 2, 2022
I’ve see people with submitted date 11 Jan were DQ’d this week. hopefully the NVC are speeding up
Shamondy OyelowoApr 2, 2022
Oh! Thank you Kathi! That makes me even more hopeful.
Kathi RamseyApr 2, 2022
same here! with any luck you’ll be DQ next week 🙂
f
fd diApr 6, 2022
submitted on January 15 and just got DQ today
Shamondy OyelowoApr 6, 2022
congratulations @fd di. It appears that I will have to call and inquire🤦🏽‍♀️. I submitted my documents before you🤷🏽‍♀️.
Kathi RamseyApr 6, 2022
congrats, fd di! thank you for sharing
Kathi RamseyApr 6, 2022
Shamondy, yesterday all I saw on the forums etc was 11 Jan DQs.. hopefully yours is imminent!
Kathi RamseyApr 6, 2022
they’re usually a week ahead of published dates, so it’s always better to check what has happened in reality
Shamondy OyelowoApr 6, 2022
Doing my best to remain positive and upbeat, but I have my days when I’m down. Hang in there.
Kathi RamseyApr 6, 2022
it’s a real test of endurance, for sure.. especially when they make so many mistakes!
Kathi RamseyApr 6, 2022
not sure what that is based on… my doc submitted date was back in October and they made an error. our attorney and cong rep are trying to fight it, but NVC is a fortress. thanks though
Shamondy OyelowoApr 6, 2022
@Kathi I pray the matter is revealed and resolved most expeditiously. I’ve been waiting nearly a year. you much longer. There are times I feel like folding. I can’t even imagine your plight. But keep hope. Everyday be thankful for one day closer to your love being in your arms again. 💕
Kathi RamseyApr 6, 2022
thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ keep holding onto hope!
Kathi RamseyApr 6, 2022
just saw a 12 Jan DQ. NVC seems to have stepped off the gas since last week… maybe they had an end of month sprint.
Kathi RamseyApr 6, 2022
…and now a 13th jan..
Shamondy OyelowoApr 6, 2022
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I’m still waiting to see my DQ……. I definitely expect it this week! I’m hoping for quick interview appointments for all of us!
Shamondy OyelowoApr 7, 2022
Documents Accepted, but they are requesting termination of previous marriage (documents they’ve already viewed and accepted). Now, I am beginning to believe they have just done a mass acceptance of all documents without reviewing them. How can you request the same documents you accepted? 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️
Shamondy OyelowoApr 7, 2022
The crazy part of this is…….. there was no marriage 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it was void from beginning and I don’t have to have court order to prove. 🤷🏽‍♀️
Shamondy OyelowoApr 7, 2022
The Case FE Review Note says, “ Please submit a marriage termination document between the Petitionaer and XXX. Please use our Document Finder at https://NVC.state.gov/find for acceptable documents guidelines.” My husband will have all documents necessary, but there is nothing to show a termination for something that did not happen. I’m printing out the criminal report that shows the perpetrators criminal charge and the date of the offense (the wedding date). I also have his mugshot with said date. I don’t know what more they want to prove marriage never happened between me and that guy🤣🤣🤣
f
fd diApr 7, 2022
they told you also to bring the document during the interview instead of asking to download it again?
Shamondy OyelowoApr 7, 2022
No, they asked me to submit a document that shows “termination of marriage”. All documents, including those showing the void marriage, have been accepted.
f
fd diApr 7, 2022
i Hope they won’t put you back in the queue to accept the document
Shamondy OyelowoApr 7, 2022
@fd di 🤦🏽‍♀️ all documents have been accepted
Shamondy OyelowoApr 7, 2022
I called and waited on the phone from 9:48 PM to 11 PM EST. I’m developing my email and will be resubmitting the same documents with an additional document.
Kathi RamseyApr 7, 2022
if all docs are indicated as ‘accepted’ it is my understanding that you are fully DQ and will not be put back in line, even though they require additional docs. hope this is the case for you!
Shamondy OyelowoApr 7, 2022
@Kathi. From what I read in the foreign affairs policy manual, “accepted” is not the same as “documentary qualified”. Aftet speaking with the NVC representative, they needed a written explanation. I asked if this would knock us backwards. She indirectly answered “the explanation has to be reviewed”. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I remain hopeful. I’ve done my part. God prevails!
M CApr 8, 2022
@kathi saw someone on visa journey being DQ with docs submitted January 19th
Shamondy OyelowoApr 8, 2022
Hi Everyone! Let’s keep hope for everyone’s DQ!
Kathi RamseyApr 8, 2022
Wishing you the best of luck, Shamondy!
Kathi RamseyApr 8, 2022
I haven’t seen a single DQ today… perhaps NVC do not process anything on Fridays 🤷🏻‍♀️
Shamondy OyelowoApr 8, 2022
I thought this was possible. I haven’t seen or heard anything. I do know that my status has changed back to “submit documents “ here on Lawfully.
Kathi RamseyApr 8, 2022
ahh, so still not quite DQ yet
Shamondy OyelowoApr 8, 2022
No. Just showing all documents as accepted. Waiting on them to accept the explanation document.
Kathi RamseyApr 8, 2022
honestly, I don’t think we will see any more DQ until Monday now. same as last Friday: radio silence. I don’t think NVC process documents on Fridays 🤷🏻‍♀️
Shamondy OyelowoApr 8, 2022
Well. Enjoy the weekend everyone! Prayers still going up for all of us!
Kathi RamseyApr 8, 2022
You too, Shamondy! let’s park it all for now 🙂
Kathi RamseyApr 11, 2022
based on their recent pace, they will be finished with 27 Jan by Friday
Kathi RamseyApr 11, 2022
so do I… those few days could make the world of difference to our situation
M CApr 12, 2022
saw January 21st DQ on visa journey!
Kathi RamseyApr 12, 2022
thanks, MC!
Shamondy OyelowoApr 13, 2022
Hello Everyone! No news on my resubmission. I’m guessing they will review again once they get to April 7, 2022 submissions🤦🏽‍♀️. Suggestion for all others waiting, “if it looks like it will need an explanation, go ahead and write an explanation to prevent delays.”🤷🏽‍♀️
Shamondy OyelowoApr 13, 2022
I had not thought about that. I will do this. Do I simply ask to speak to a supervisor or do I need to speak to lower level first?
Kathi RamseyApr 13, 2022
hi Shamondy: sorry to hear this! I’ve also heard that if uploading an explanation, make sure it’s added to Other documents only - apparently that keeps place in the queue. I’m trying to find out if that’s 100%
Shamondy OyelowoApr 13, 2022
@Kathi Ramsey, yes, it is uploaded to “other documents”. It is the only document listed as “submitted” all others accepted (including the accepted document for which I had to explain). @immi USA ok. thanks! Much appreciation to both.
Kathi RamseyApr 13, 2022
Good luck with your call!
f
fd diApr 13, 2022
hi Shamondy anything they ask to upload will go back to the queue no matter the reason. I go back to the queue 2 times
Shamondy OyelowoApr 13, 2022
@fd di I understand. But if I go back to que, it should be because of reasons I could have prevented but did not. In this matter, they failed to do their part. I will continue to at least “try” to make a difference. I’m a social worker in child protection, if I’ve learned nothing, I’ve learned to advocate! I will be making another call. I hope yours get qualified!
M CApr 14, 2022
hey Guys! saw a DQ for a January 24th submission (visa journey) ! it’s picking up pace!
Kathi RamseyApr 14, 2022
yes! there have been a few for 21st and 24th this week.. I wonder if it’s because 22 and 23 jan were weekend days 🙂
Kathi RamseyApr 14, 2022
just saw a 25th DQ
Kathi RamseyApr 15, 2022
excellent
M CApr 15, 2022
so it means by end of next week they gonna be done with first week of February? 🙏😊
Kathi RamseyApr 15, 2022
hopefully it just looks like they hand out RFEs like candy, because people generally post their info when asking for advice. I really hope it’s a skewed view.
Kathi RamseyApr 19, 2022
I saw someone on a FB group mention 1 Feb, but their language was a little ambiguous: not sure how reliable!
Kathi RamseyApr 19, 2022
2 Feb DQ’d submitter spotted on Facebook
M CApr 20, 2022
saw 2 random people on visa journey being DQ in a month… submitted mid / end of March and being DQ mid / end April. same category as ours. very lucky!
Kathi RamseyApr 20, 2022
have see a few 31 Jans today..they are inching towards Feb!
Kathi RamseyApr 21, 2022
yay! wonder how far NVC will get this week.
Shamondy OyelowoApr 21, 2022
Oh wow! @immi usa sorry to hear this. I am still waiting for movement on mine. Status changed from At NVC back to Action Required 🤷🏽‍♀️, yet all documents Accepted, now have to wait for them to accept the explanation 🤦🏽‍♀️
Shamondy OyelowoApr 22, 2022
@immi usa, I had no documents to submit. They requested an explanation. It is dated April 6
Kathi RamseyApr 22, 2022
hi Immi! sorry to read this, I guess it’s now unclear if you will be out back in line again? My doc submitted date is 7 Feb and I hope that still applies, as we have received so much inconsistent info from NVC.
Kathi RamseyApr 22, 2022
Shamondy, I really hope you hear something today or Monday based on your 6 Feb date!
M CApr 22, 2022
2 people on visa journey posted they saw 2 people on Facebook with a Feb 7th submission date to be DQd today !!!!!!!
Shamondy OyelowoApr 23, 2022
@Kathi Ramsey, thank you. I have decided to be content. The stress is too much; nearly painful. This all will be over for us soon. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Kathi RamseyApr 23, 2022
@shamondy what a journey this is… my goodness. we just have to keep using all of our coping strategies to get through this uncertainty. Hope we both pass through this turbulence soon.
Kathi RamseyApr 23, 2022
@shamondy acceptance is the key: that’s what I’m aiming for. honestly, feels like I am grieving on most days. take care x x x
Kathi RamseyApr 23, 2022
@MC there’s also a new NVC DQ date thread on here from Young Stunna for Feb and beyond
Shamondy OyelowoApr 23, 2022
We’re in this together!🥰🥰🥰
M CApr 23, 2022
this process has given me a few white hairs 😂 sending good vibes to everyone! next week is a new week and you’re all really close to getting DQd! as my husband says : everyday that goes by is a day closer for us to be home together ❤️💪🏼🙏
Shamondy OyelowoApr 23, 2022
@MC Amen to that! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Kathi RamseyApr 26, 2022
@shamondy I’m now in the same boat as you! all docs accepted 🥳 but with a note asking for copy of husband’s divorce decree (which they could have requested back in Feb… or required at the beginning of the process!). of course this was already provided to USCIS during our petition application.
Kathi RamseyApr 27, 2022
no as we are not DQ yet. our attorney needs to fix this with NVC otherwise we have another 3 month wait.
Kathi RamseyApr 27, 2022
we are trying to figure out who dropped the ball here. divorce decree is essential civil document for the interview, BUT there wasn’t an upload section for it in Required Documents. Those upload sections are created by NVC. My husband went ahead and uploaded to Additional docs last night. Additionally, our attorney has not once mentioned the need for this document. Only after checking online do we see that it’s mentioned on the NVC website. This is exactly why we hired an attorney, to avoid any basic errors when filing! in the end we will pay the price with my lost job offer due to this 3rd 3 month wait. (plus the continued emotional cost of love, stress and health issues).
Kathi RamseyApr 27, 2022
it seems so right now… I’ve also checked the list of documents for interview that she sent, and there’s no mention of the divorce decree there, either!
Shamondy OyelowoApr 27, 2022
@Kathi sorry to hear this. This is hurtful especially when we are separated at this point.
Kathi RamseyApr 27, 2022
yes. the usual response: wait for the document to be reviewed
M CApr 29, 2022
@immi haven’t seen much updates on visa journey (I’m following up but we submitted paperwork to NVC on April 14th so we won’t get DQ before at least mid / end of June)
Shamondy OyelowoApr 29, 2022
@imma usa nothing yet 🤷🏽‍♀️. I heard an immigration talking about an expected pickup in NVC around June🤦🏽‍♀️. So we shall see
Kathi RamseyApr 29, 2022
I saw that on VJ, too.. I’m on there myself: Redrobot is my name
Shamondy OyelowoApr 30, 2022
also include in VJ under Shamondy
Shamondy OyelowoMay 10, 2022
Good Morning. I am still waiting for review of the explanation sent for my lack of document. All the delays is troublesome, but I remain hopeful. Hopeing you all got some movement.
Kathi RamseyMay 10, 2022
hi Shamondy: still no DQ news on my side :-(
Kathi RamseyMay 10, 2022
Kimmy, it varies depending on the queue at your embassy. They all have different amounts of traffic. perhaps you can check the website of your embassy or email them
Shamondy OyelowoJun 17, 2022
@Kathi Ramsey 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 any news (movement) for you yet?
Kathi RamseyJun 17, 2022
hi! not yet.. we won’t know until early July.
Shamondy OyelowoJun 18, 2022
I finally got DQ 6/18/2022 waiting on “READY”
Kathi RamseyJun 18, 2022
congrats!!!! oh, you must be so happy and relieved!
Shamondy OyelowoJun 18, 2022
@Kathi Ramsey, I am, just waiting for that interview letter. Hoping to have it by Monday or Tuesday
Shamondy OyelowoJun 18, 2022
Still waiting for Embassy to receive documents. If you have been DQ for a while, check NVC, or go to the embassy website and see if you are able to schedule the interview on your own (after documents DQ of course).
Shamondy OyelowoJul 5, 2022
@immi usa 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Yesssssssss. Congratulations 🎉🎊🎈
