I am starting a new thread to track cases from NVC - embassy to GC.
The best news for RN in China, Phillippines and India has been great and informative thread, but I think it is more appropriate and convenient if we start a new thread.
Also with the rapid scheduling of interviews for most of us, I am looking beyond the CP and anticipating the GC!
The August interview schedules are out already in India, and recently in the Philippines and hopefully in China.
Here is my case details
Category : EX Schedule A
USCIS receipt : April 2004
Processing Center : Vermont
I-140 approved : October 2004
NVC case number : MNL2004813XXX
NVC forwarded packet 3 : April 5, 2005
Packet 3 sent back to NVC : May 3, 2005
NVC case completed : May 16, 2005
Consular Interview : August 29, 2005
Visa received : ???
Date of entry in the US :???
GC receive : ????
I hope you can also post here your details interview experience.
Hi Daning...... thank you for keeping my spirits up:bow:......well, I guess I have to wait again.......I hope that my problem with my ds230 straightens out soon because I'm going nuts here waiting:bugeyes::bugeyes:
It's from the time NVC receives the compluted DS 230 forms and other required documents. After around 2 weeks, they will either "declare" your case completed or ask for additional documents (which is rare if you complied strictly to tehir letter) if necessary. Once completed, they will schedule an interview in coordination with the consular office of the applicant which in our case is Manila.
It's not that complicated really once you get used to it and read the pattern in the posts in respectable fora such as this.

dear daning:
Thank you very much for your reply. Godbless you more!
guys, our I-140 has been approved mar 20,2006. our agency told us to wait for DS3032 to be mailed in our house. can anyone pls tell me what's a DS3032? and how long should i wait to call NVC regarding my case status? thanks a lot!
hi gracie08,
DS-230 is the APPLICATION for IMMIGRANT VISA.. :-) you can call at least 30-90 days after submission of all the requirments.
i emailed NVC last April 17 verifying the status of my case, and they replied through automated response stating to wait 3-5 business days but until now no response yet on the status of my case. what is more reliable through email or thru an overseas call? Can we use DS230 downloaded through the internet? is NVC accept it? what is the normal procedure on this , are we going to wait our lawyer or NVC to send us the DS230?

So far, NVC have been true to its word and answered my previous email inquiries after 5 working days. But if you're willing to spend and can get through the NVC line, that would be faster of course.
Yes downloaded forms are ok as long as it's the 2007 version. Just check the version you've accessed and see the one written on the upper right (or left?) portion.
hi everyone............I'm just confused about packet 3 and the ds230, are they the same? I mean if you have your ds230 does that mean you are already on packet 3,or the ds230 comes first before the packet 3?.................... please enlighten me on this one....I'm really confused........:confused:

packet 3 is the DS230 forms to be filled-up and signed..packet 4 is the schedule for interview and instructions for your medical..

Hi hael...............so it means that I'm on packet 3 because NVC is waiting for my ds230?( I emailed them and the reply I got was that they are waiting for my ds230).....please correct me if I'm wrong.........sorry for being makulit, I just want to know where I stand.......considering the delays I've got from my agency:o
ann80, i think we have on the same status, my lawyer informed us that instruction packets from NVC are now in his position,and he is now sending to us anytime these days. perhaps, this include DS230 (part 1) etc. I am pretty sure that all of these will be soon forwarded to our lawyer then to NVC for processing. perhaps this will be finished 4 weeks then after we have to wait 2 to 4 mos. for interview. I hope so!

you will have to wait for about 4 weeks from the time the DS 230 was received by NVC before it will finally be completed. from then on, youll have to wait for another 4-5 months for the interview. It took me 5 mos before I finally got scheduled for the interview. It will depend now on you and your lawyer. no matter how soon you send ur ds230 to your lawyer, if he delays sending it to NVC, then you will have to wait much longer.

That's really a problem, my agency keeps on delaying shipping my documents to my lawyer.......and I just found out that I had my packet 3 since March, and they haven't informed me...I have to find it out myself pa this month lang and urge them to follow up my case....I really hate my agency:angryfire :angryfire ....to everyone, do not rely on your agency like what I did, you should also be following up your case, or else you could be waiting for nothing after all:angryfire :angryfire
