NVC Filers - April 2012

[Alaska2012 462]

I do not want my daughter to be born behind me, this is gonan be my first child, i miss my wife smile and eyes

I know that would suck!

My husband will miss the birth of our child, but I had to promise him to bring my laptop so we can skype the minute she's born! And that I will do, I already cleared it with the hospital!

The midwife did gave me a strange look when I told her about it but I was like try and stop me if you dare!

ARGH! called NVC for interview date, was told it is too soon to tell, Embassy has to schedule one then i would be avle to know, and they dont know when i can call back to find out!!! soo disheartning :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

this is taking so much from me, my sleep.piece of mind, mental balance,physically drainig. the only one and thing that has me going is my husband!!

and you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel you. The closer we get the harder it becomes to wait!! Hang in here I think we will get interview dates this week. I contacted NVC and the lady told me "Sorry we cant give you an April interview because its full". I would like a quick interview but more than anything I just want to KNOW!!! I was definitely not expecting April.!

Almost over!!

Well if you stopped talking most of us would be

[Trav&Shell 83]

Yay!! Once you've got them ironed on, I'd really appreciate a picture Might hold me over until I receive it in the mail

Yes, just have a quick call to NVC. Ask them if the AOS package has been reviewed and if the expedite request has been approved. Then say thank you and hang up

I'll for sure email you a picture once they're done I have your email, right? *scratches head*...think so - but if not, I'll attach it in a PM

oh that is a good idea you gave me, but if i suggest my wife to do so, it is like i surrender and accept the baby to be born behind me! i am not gonna give up hoping i will see her eyes at the hospital

[Sugarz.K.R 9]

I called NVC......nice operator..... this is it, the pause she made was like a positive one..... oh darnnnnnnnn nope this is not it, i really thought it was. NO CASE NUMBER yet

When is her due date?

[Amanda & Juan 1]

I just called the NVC and still no case number. He told me i need to wait 20 business day for the case to update. They got my case last monday. I just want to get moving on this already.

I also asked him about the fees starting on April 13th and he told me the IV fee will be $230 and the AOS is staying the same at $88. Does this sound right?

Thanks for the advice/feedback Saylin and Alaska, and for the congratulations from everyone else. I just called the US Embassy in London, and they said to email them, and as soon as my case is in the system, then they'll see what they can do about moving the date up. I, the dad to be, am actually the beneficiary, so luckily my wife doesn't have to go through the stress of the interview and travelling. I definitely won't hold my breath for an expedite, but you never know, there may be a cancellation.

So I called NVC and spoke to Olivia. She said there is still no sign of my case at the NVC. Told me to call back by next Tuesday or Wednesday instead of the usual 15 business days. Does that mean there are some delays at the NVC longer than their stated times or was she just telling me to stop harrassing them and leave them alone for a while?

My 2011 Tax transcript arrived so I guess I need to add that to my package and remove the tax return and W2 and all that.

Saylin when do you think I will get an interview date for? I am planning a trip for July 7th till 14th. I would like to be there for the interview also and don't know when the interview would be in relation to those dates. If it is a week on either side that is fine I can make two trips but I would hate to have the interview on July 5th or July 17th for instance. I wanted to buy tickets for my planned trip but if I wait till the interview date it will be too expensive. What do you all say?

I'm betting it's just a standard line they're giving you to stop calling. But don't listen Again, don't worry about the operators not seeing they've received your case. I'm betting it's in the mail room. Remember, my case was received on the same day my case number was assigned. So, just focus on getting a case number assigned.

Grats on getting your tax transcripts though! Much better than tax returns and W2s.

I'm estimating you'll get your case number this week. Your AOS package should be sent next week, and the IV sent late next week or early the week after, with a CC the week of the 23rd. From there, an interview will probably be around late June or early July. But, that's a lot of guesswork

I know that would suck!

My husband will miss the birth of our child, but I had to promise him to bring my laptop so we can skype the minute she's born! And that I will do, I already cleared it with the hospital!

You should have Skype on while you're giving birth Might not be the most ideal situation, but it's the next best thing.

Well if you stopped talking most of us would be

Very true. Continue to talk I will!

I'll for sure email you a picture once they're done I have your email, right? *scratches head*...think so - but if not, I'll attach it in a PM

I believe I gave it to you when you were sending those links from that site. If not, there's an email option on my profile. Or just PM me. Whatever way, get it to me

Finally back on this morning...trying to catch up with everything.

Just wanted to wish all of you good luck...especially those of you waiting for expedites and interviews. I know some of you are feeling hopeless, but like Saylin says, being positive brings about positive results!

And congrats to the others....who have gotten their AOS bills to show as PAID, and to the member expecting TWINS!

And Trav&Shell....hang in there!!!!

I think you did lol You got it - you will see them when they're done! Can't wait to show you!

On the upside - I resent my AOS docs at 7 AM and just now received a notice that they've received and are reviewing them. Positive step?

Yes, the AOS fee is staying at $88. The IV fee is $230, plus the $75 surcharge, so the IV bill will be $305 (down $99 from $404).

Ohhh, thought your wife was the beneficiary Then there might even be a lower chance as she doesn't need to travel at all as the petitioner. But yes, I'd still give it a shot. You never know

I can't wait to see them *super excited*

Is that email in response to the docs you sent today or earlier ones? And yes, that is a VERY GOOD step

Yes, the AOS fee is staying at $88. The IV fee is $230, plus the $75 surcharge, so the IV bill will be $305 (down $99 from $404).

I figured there was another fee. Thanks
