I just spoke to NVC and asked: are sept interview appointments scheduling closed?

She replied: no one told me that, please call back next week.

So I called this morning and was told that Sept. scheduling is over and I didnt get in. I am crushed. So even though CC about two weeks ago, still nothing. I am just dumbfounded at the incompetence or lack of give-a-$hit of the US immigration system for LEGAL immigration. How hard is it to have a damn shared calendar and to schedule the damn thing the same day you give a CC? :(

I thought no one was waiting as long as me but how wrong I was. Waiting 17 months here and have seen husband only twice in this entire time, since our marriage. Total time spent with husband is less than a month, missed anniversary, birthdays, festivals...

Am also waiting for last 16 months..what to do?

I submitted my AOS package on 7/22 and within a week they had "received" it. I now have all the documentation ready for my IV Package and would like to submit the package now to not cause any scanning delays later. Can someone tell me the process for which to submit the IV Package before the IV bill is invoiced.

I'd assume it goes to the same address, but what should be written after "ATTN: xxxxxx"? As well, because I haven't paid my IV bill yet, can I submit my cover sheet for the AOS in its place? If so, would I need to make any changes to the cover sheet?

Is there anything else I need to do to make this work?

Thanks for the all the help!

Hi Mandilimoose, I have similar date than your, but the AOS fee is still not invoiced :( I don't understand why :(

Anyway, they said to don't expect anything until October 5th, but what do they mean? case complete or fee for IV package or even interview date?

I wish you best luck!!!

I called NVC again for asking about our iv invoice which was submitted on June 5th and scanned on June 16th.

The operator(I couldnt catch her name. Something starting from S) told me that we would receive the invoive within 5 business days-60 days after the scanned date.

This time I couldnt ask why NVC is SO unfair and they do not work our cases in order. (。>д<)
