How long will the NVC take ?

As the F-2A category for spouses of permanent residence is available for immigrant visa issuance where the I-130 petition was filed by September 8, 2013, your case is current and should be processed fairly quickly. In answer to your questions, the next steps after the payment of the invoices will be the NVC's instructing you and your husband to prepare documents including affidavit of support papers and send them to the NVC. If everything is all right, an interview could be scheduled within two – six months of sending in the documentation. Your husband will be interviewed at the location which is indicated for consular processing on the I-130 form. If your husband wishes a change of location, he should notify the NVC.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
