Just thought I'd share an amusing little tidbit here! I sent an email to the NVC about two weeks ago with a question about the I-864 (before I started asking many of my questions here! hehe). After two weeks of waiting, the NVC sends me an email saying they just don't know the answer. I had to laugh at it. I'm emailing them, asking them what they want, and they wait two weeks to email me back and tell me they don't know what they want????

hehe thought this was amusing :hehe:

It seems funny yes, but what they want exactly about what did you ask them?...they are overworked on there, so in my opinion, if the question is vague, they might answer vaguely.

Yeah I know what you mean. Actually, I thought my question was pretty focused. I explained the cirumstances in a clear way. I just thought it was kinda strange to receive an email reply after so long with no answer, and I also wonder, if they don't know the answer to that question, what they are going to do with my I-864 when reviewing it.

Cheers!

I see you already sent your ds0230..(in a few days i'll do so also) .so i assume you found the answers to your questions...we also e-mailed them being new at the nvc, but hubby could talk to them on the phone...we never got the answer by e-mail but we got it when he talked on the phone...well sort of...so it seems it works better live! good luck with your petition!...

Well, we didn't actually get the answer until the NVC sent the I-864 back and said we need to fix it. That happened on Friday and we're sending back the corrected version along with support they requested this morning. Another delay, which was what I was trying to avoid. What I'm now learning is that they don't want long explanations or extra info. They just want exactly what they ask for and I think the rest gets sorted at the interview.

Good luck on your petition as well! We're just hoping the rest of the process goes smoothly.
