It has been very useful to read all your posts & Hope I can get some help from you with my case as follow:
My wife is having LPR status & filed an immigrant visa petition for me through I-130 on June 3, 2010, which was received by USCIS on June 14, 2010 & finally got approved by USCIS on November 23, 2010 & been forwarded to NVC. Though NVC has not issued any case no# yet as they said it takes about two weeks to receive & update the approved I-130. However, I have learned through this forum that once the case number is issued, NVC is going to send us CHOICE OF AGENT, I-864, DS-230 & BILLS of RELEVANT FEES. Though I am having some queries & need to know the answers for the following question to prepare myself for the consular process.
1. How long does the process usually take to complete the case by NVC in current situation?
2. When we can expect the case to be forwarded to consular office?
3. Which consular office could be faster & easier to process the visa between DHAKA, BANGLADESH & RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA? As I am a Bangladeshi national & currently working in Saudi Arabia.
4. Do I have an option to ask NVC to forward the case at my preferred consular office?
5. How long it may take to issue a visa by consular office?
Thank you all, for taking your precious time to read my post & put your worthful answers on it.
