This is not just for pakistanies. FTJ now go through NVC since the begining of the year. I-824 has to be approved, then USCIS sends your file to NVC. NVC will then collect all the documents and schedules an interview with consulate. Expect 2-3 month processing at NVC. My FTJ case is now with NVC...

I called NVC this Friday and it seems that they have just opened a case for my wife. They told me that USCIS don't notify consulates directly as of the beginning of this year for FTJ cases. USCIS sends your file to NVC and NVC collects the IV fee, DS 230 and DS 2001 to schedule an interview...

I am talking about the civil war in Beirut, Lebanon if you are following the news. The expedite request was merely to get my wife out of the hell there at the time since she is alone and can't take care of herself by herself in the midst of the civil war.

prq20, I was in the same boat. This USICS system isn't working. I had to initiate an expedite request based on the civil war going in my home country.

But I emailed the consulate couple of weeks back about sending them the approved I-824 notice and other paperwork, but insisted on not taking any action until they receive the I-824 cable from USCIS. I don't know why we pay $400 for the damn cable and wait so long on USCIS but they don't deliver...

To kamrans, and other forum experts, I filed I-824 for spouse ftj and it was approved on March 10. Everytime I email Beirut consulate about the I-824, they say that they haven't received the cable from USCIS. It has been well over 2 month now. I called USCIS on multiple occassions and they claim...

Where did you file the I-824 petition, NSC or TSC? NVC only creates the case but never approve I-824 petition.

visa bulletin are released once every month. Visas can run out in the middle or the end of the month so you need to wait till the next bulletin to know how to proceed. By the way, did your consulate require the approval of I-824 before allowing you to create a case and do an interview for...

Well, USCIS and consulates abroad are allocated one visa quota per quarter or maybe per month. The trend on this forum and other forum is that USCIS are not processing I-485 for the past week because of visa availability. Since your Son's visa will be using your PD and your classification, then...

What is the exact date your Son returned to the interview? The consulate maybe right as all I-485 approvals at USCIS halted due to visa unavailability. But don't worry, maybe new visas will be allocated for the month of February by Department of State or for sure in Q3 starting April 1st.

For FTJ gurus, I applied an I-824 petition for my wife on Jan 08, 08 @ NSC and have a receipt notice. I emailed Beirut Consulate regarding FTJ but refused to open an case based on I-824 receipt notice although I offered to send a copy of GC, I-140, and I-485 approval notices. How can I proceed...
