Thank you for responding. Should I go ahead to mail my documents (passport page, police certificate etc)? It was only the affidavit of support that my petitioner mailed to them.

If you are not able to upload document immediately after DS260 give it a little time. If its past two weeks and the upload icons have not been activated on your portal, send enquiry request to the NVC and they will fix it. Your welcome letter should have an instruction on how to contact the NVC. If you don't find that instruction check their website. Usually contacting them requires you to fill out an ENQUIRY form on their website.
DO NOT mail supporting documents(affidavit of support, police clearance etc.) to the NVC. Those documents are to be uploaded electronically.
Remember your AOS fees must be paid before this upload section would be activated.

This information is NOT exactly correct!

You mail your supporting documents if you are required to. Some applications are processed manually while some are electronically processed.

Anybody in doubt should just call the NVC call center line (no. on website) to confirm.

I hope you followed up your email with a letter sent by post. They replied my letter and promised to inform me when it is time to issue a replacement visa, at extra cost though. Still waiting and hoping . Their email has not been read for more than 6 months so if you sent them email , it could take many more weeks to read and reply. If you have not sent a letter by post please do so , stating your case number, and they will hopefully reply by email. Good luck.

Can I send you a private email pls?

NVC only asks for mail in documents when requesting additional evidence. He has past that stage. For him to have submitted a DS260, he is at the stage where everything is handled through CEAC. This is the only platform presently utilized at least for all applicants in Nigeria. Your welcome letter would clearly say that you should not mail in civil documents unless the NVC request you to, and mailing in could delay your application or even lead to loss of those documents. NVC only requests mail in in very special circumstances where they are having troubles with the electronic platform and they cannot fix the problem. In fact, such special circumstances are nearly non-existent
presently occassioned by the covid protocols.
I had the same issues he explained when I was processing for my wife and kids and they specifically told me not to mail anything to them and just wait for necessary Icons to be activated on their CEAC dashboard. If there is anything I have learnt in the United States, it is 'adhere to instructions because there are consequences to not doing so'. The welcome letter usually have it in bold print that you should NOT send any document to them and that all documents should be scanned in through the CEAC, it is in anyone's best interest to adhere to that. If your letter doesn't have that good, but I haven't seen anyone who recently got a welcome letter without such instructions.

Good morning, if you are not able to upload civil documents after successful submission of your Ds260, then,it means you cannot complete your application electronically. Please read your welcome letter ,it will be clearly stated on the process of your own application . In my own case I had to mail the supporting documen both the civil and the sponsors affidavit of support to
NVC on the address given in my welcome letter.

@tmfasterservices it’s to patiently wait for interview letter if you’re ir1 or cr1, if not then wait till when ban expires which is on dec 31st. It’s the waiting game now, and also do check your mails cause that’s where your interview letter will be sent.

Your Lawyer did not mail the documents you submitted to him or her. Your lawyer uploaded the documents. The picture you attached even shows the upload link and the documents uploaded and accepted. You can't mail out a document on 19th get approval and a return mail on 20th.
Your Lawyer simply uploaded the document and it was accepted immediately.

In a few days to few weeks, the NVC will reply you to notify you that your file has been submitted to the US consulate in Nigeria who would schedule an interview for you.
There is currently a waiting list for this stage due to the covid disruption. So some patience would be necessary.

Please does anyone here have experience with applying for a students visa while in NVC Processing? For example, getting a student visa while in NVC processing for F2B category with priority date about 1 year away.

Who knows about this kind of situation and prospects of student visa approval?

You can get any visa..

I got a b2 renewed multiple times and now an L1

You just need to show / demonstrate that you are not planning to be there illegally

Thank you for your response. I think you're right. I've actually gotten a B1/B2 visa on this myself.
I was just thinking Studets visa is a more long term and tricky situation so I'm looking for people that have successfully done it.

Seen. I have a long term visa too & currently living In the USA. But the L1 us dual intent so guess that’s easier

Is the immigrant visa single entry only, or are you permitted to travel out of theUS and in again several times while your Green card is processing?
Re: At The NVC Processing Stage Of The U. S Family Based Preference Category. by richhills(m): 2:39pm On Dec 06, 2020
Multiple entry within one year.
However, you are supposed to be a resident in America,so your trips must be short ones or else your might be challenged by the CBP

Its unfair when you insist on spreading false information.

A simple 'i don't know' is a much better answer, so the person will seek out the answer elsewhere. I hope the person that was asking the question finally got to call and ask NVC or atleast looked at his welcome letter rather than wait endlessly for his CEAC webpage to change to allow him upload.

His case was still at NVC and there are 2 methods for submitting supporting documents after payment and filling of DS260 form - computer uploading or physical mailing. For some application it is physical mailing while some is uploading online.
To say all applications is done by online uploading is completely FALSE.
Please don't add to the falsehood! Like i advised before, a call to NVC is all the applicant needed to confirm the position of his application. Hope he did that.
