NVC welcome letter
How long does it take NVC to send the welcome letter via email after getting i130 approved? It’s been a couple days now. The current status just shows Approved. The approval letter says its being sent to NVC but the status doesn’t show that its been sent to the Dept of State.
I see some people bave gotten it within 3 days and some much longer. Does it depend on the embassy?

NVC Appointment Share your experience
I want to prep and get everything ready. If anyone already had their appointments, can you kindly share?
I want to know what did you bring with to the interview. I read the email and I see that they said to bring the documents I uploaded to the NVC, but also stating to bring whoever sponsored proof of employment. Would a recent check be sufficient? Do you need to provide an update tax return for the sponsor? Since we applied in December of 2022 do we need to provide the year 2023?
The criminal background check has an expiration, right?
It’s been longer than 6 months since we did one. Do I need to do another background check?

NVC Processing Time
Hi guys, good morning to you all. I pray God is keeping you calm through this process and giving you what your hearts desire. On today, I would like to announce that our payment with NVC has finally processed to PAID! We’re now in the stage where we can submit all of the required documentation. I wanted to make this post today because NVC told us that it would take 2-3 business days for the payment to process, but in reality it took one week. Please if you’re on this stage don’t stress, I know you keep checking in to see what it says like I did, but it will eventually processes. We paid for it on August 10th 2023 and it processed today August 17th 2023 for us we paid $445.00 usd. #NVC #PAID

i601A approved in June, Interview in Sept
#i601a #I-601A #NVC
Hi I just wanted to to give an update on my husband’s case so people can have a timeline. Please keep in mind that everyone’s case is different so it may work out differently for your case.
My husband’s i601a was received on 3/5/2020 approved on 6/6/23 after we filed a writ of mandamus in May 2023 after submitting many inquiries & contacted our congressman and speaking to Tier2 agents (which was useless). We were very lucky to have the waiver approved because I do know that USCIS is now fighting back against individual mandamus. We submitted our DS-260 back in December 2022 to get a head start on things and NVC quickly responded in 3 weeks saying they had reviewed all of our civil docs and that only one was missing. We waited until after we filed the lawsuit to submit that last document to NVC because we didn’t want to get an interview date before having the waiver approved. NVC then DQ my husband’s case on 7/6/23 and approved our expedite request on 7/7/23 (my attorney went ahead a submitted an expedite request to NVC and luckily they approved it). My husband’s interview will be in Honduras. The embassy in Honduras received my husband’s case on 7/10/23 and they also approved the expedite and we got an email from NVC saying that once the embassy in Honduras had a date available for my husband they would schedule and then notify us. On 8/1/23 we got an email saying my husband’s interview appointment was scheduled for September!!
Honduras seems to be moving very quickly with their visa appointments and we feel very blessed to have gotten an appointment so quickly. Please don’t give up hope. I know this process has been long and painful for many of us. I truly hope that you all have your waivers approved soon 🙏🏼
FINALLY DQed！

Received NVC Welcome Letter in email !
Today we (myself, my spouse, and lawyer) received email from NVC stating that our case was created. The email has a case number and invoice ID number.
We were pleasantly surprised that we received the letter this quickly since our petition was approved last week and today the status was changed to "Case was sent to department of state"

NVC PROCESS
Hi guys, I am about to submit my AOS documents to NVC. however, it says an option to upload additional documents. Do I have to upload or whatever they required me to upload is enough?
For the affidavit of support and financial evidence they just ask me to upload I-864 and tax transcript.
for civil documents they just ask me passport biographic page, birth certificate, marriage certificate, police certificate, and a passport picture.
