February filers at CSC

[Don E 0]

I'm sorry to know that your petition still isn't at the NVC, and I'm in agreement that it's just ridiculous. Your frustration, however, should be (and I think really that it is) directed at the USCIS and not at the other filers who have had their petitions get from CSC to NVC much quicker. Also, there are more constructive ways to channel your energy rather than just posting here. I believe that you've already received some good advice here. Have you spoken with your Congressman's or Senator's office yet? I hope that you get some good news soon!

You are exactly right, my frustrations are not directed at anyone here. I have e-mailed NVC at their inquiry address, and am working on the congressman/ senator side. I have difficulties being able to call their offices as the vessel I work on spends most of the day outside of cell range at sea only to return to the dock at night.

I understand your situation better now.....it's not so easy for you to have contact with your Congressman's or Senator's office. If you can afford tp take a day off to see them, it might be worth your while....at least make you feel better. BTW, I finally received a reply to one of my NVC email inquiries.......yesterday....now that my petition is already in Moscow.

I can certainly relate to and understand your frustration. Hope that you get some good news soon!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to take a day off. My rotations are 3 weeks on/ 3 weeks off with the boat being in seattle and I living in Denver. I won't be home again until August 20th. I do have the addresses/numbers for my congressman, though his page said I need to mail or fax the privacy release form to his office before he will do anything. I'm going to try sending it as a PDF file to his office.

At least they wrote back, did you send your inquiry from a yahoo address by chance? I have read other places on here that sometimes they don't hear back if they use a yahoo address.

Thanks for the encouragement Don.

Woo-hoo!! Dennis just got home and packet three was waiting for him in his mailbox. He'll be faxing it back probably on Monday. Luckily Vancouver accepts it via fax. Yay!

Wonderful! Congratulations

Well now, guess what 'er indoors found in her mailbox today? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm??? Yep - NOA2!!!!!!!!! Apparently, it was approved on the 23rd July, but she only just got it. And in keeping with quite a few others who filed with CSC, no email, no touches, no status changes on the website, no nothing. But who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna get shitfaced now!!

Phew! Thank goodness. Congratulations!

I think this suggests that it is almost impossible to tell what is really going in CIS and NVC...

You're quite right, Ray - I was refering to the ones with whom I've become familiar on this thread.

Having said that though, I seem to recall there being 50-odd on the list a couple of weeks ago, so it's all good.

On Saturday, I received a letter from the NVC that was dated July 30th, and it states they have my approved petition (I already knew that) and gave me my new KEV case number (I also knew that), and said it would be shipped to Kiev "within one week". I plan on calling back tonight!

Additionally, I have received good news from my fiance. I have always wanted to attend the interview with her and fly home with her, but was afraid that I would not have enough vacation time to wait for the approved visa to be shipped to her house. I only have 7 paid days left and if it took 6 or 7 days to arrive to her small city, I would be in trouble. Well, she spoke to the FedEx desk in Kiev that handles the visa deliveries for the Embassy and they told her that we can pick it up directly from their office!! When we pay for the fedEx services, we are to give them our contact phone number and a note will be placed on it. They will attempt to call us twice before going ahead with shipping. They also said it would be good if we called them, as well, to make certain it does not sneak past. So, if the Embassy takes a day or two to process it after the interview (I really have no idea how long it takes, but the Embassy site said the visas are normally delivered in 2 to 4 days), we can stay in Kiev and pick it up and then travel back to her home. This will still give us about 4 or 5 days to pack and visit friends and relatives before heading back to Kiev for the trip to the USA! I know Sveta is so much happier and relieved to know I can be with her every step of the way.

Nice one, cwaf - great to see it working out so well for ya. You know, I'm actually totally not arsed about chasing my petition thru NVC/Consulate; I know now, after that looooooooooooooong 5 month wait, that it's all in hand.
