I just called NVC again this evening, just want to confirm "administrative process" that I got yesterday. However, magically, the operator said my case is completed!!!! Unbelievable. Does this mean yesterday the operator made a mistake on my case status, or the process only takes a day?

Not sure if I have to double check the completion tomorrow. Too good to be true.

I want to thanks all VJs here.... Lots support and encouragement I got. Can not imagine how down I could be without you guys here.....

Hey whitesnail, great news! Glad to hear it.

It could just be a case of the operator using poor wording when she mentioned 'administrative processing' - it obviously wasn't AP as we understand it.

Anyway - congrats!

Hi Guys,

Our case was just completed at NVC too. Looks like NVC's starting to get their stuff together now!

Sooooo, what happens after the case is completed at NVC? My understanding is that 1) there's a bit of a waiting game until the embassy receives and looks over the file, 2) We go in for a medical exam 3) show up at the interview - am I correct? Is there any other paper work or "adminy" stuff to take care of from this point on?

P.S. Much luv to James for his shortcuts... really made a big difference for us in getting our case completed as soon as it did!

Cheers

Shaleema
