What is DQ (Documentarily Qualified)?

Detailed Explanation

Documentarily Qualified (DQ) is a critical milestone in NVC processing. It means NVC has reviewed your civil documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates, police certificates, etc.) and financial documents (I-864 Affidavit of Support, tax returns, employment letters) and found everything acceptable. Once DQ, NVC forwards your case to the embassy/consulate for interview scheduling. The wait from DQ to interview depends on the specific embassy and current scheduling backlogs - typically 2-6 months. You can check DQ status on ceac.state.gov with your NVC case number.
