I've heard the magic words -- CASE COMPLETE!

I called this morning and talked to a lady who kinda confused me .. She was sweet but I didn't get what she was trying to say totally ... I was going to actually ask VJ'ers if they had ever had a conversation like this ...

I'll paraphrase:

Me: Hi, I just wanted to know if my case was completed.

Her: Yes it looks like it's complete

M: Really? That's great - that was fast!

H: Looks like there was an expedite.

M: An expedite? There's a notice of an expedite on it?

H: Oh, actually, I don't see an expedite request on here.

M: Oh, so is it complete?

H: I'm looking at it and it's actually not quite complete. It seems the documents have all been reviewed, but they will be reviewing them one more time.

M: Oh, ok so it's not done ...

H: Looks like it's almost done - please call us back in a couple of days and we should have good news for you.

M: Thanks!

THEN OF COURSE - I called back at about 6:30pm today ...

Explained to the guy I talked to that I was confused by the above conversation and wasn't sure if it was completed or what's going on.

He said "Don't worry about it - it's all done."

My reaction, "WHAT? It's complete."

Him, "Yes, they completed it for you today, June 3rd".

Then he told me to just wait for an interview date and asked that I call back in 1-2 weeks as they will schedule further interviews during the second week of June, and possibly I should have an interview for July!

AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

THANKS TO VJ'ers for ALL THEIR SUPPORT!

Hello everyone,

Congrats on the recent approvals!

My husband's P3 did not include anything regarding evidence of support. When he asked the embassy they said he did not need that yet... his interview is on Tuesday. Has anyone heard of this before? :huh:

I would take evidence anyways, dont give them a reason to delay the visa. Be safe, NOT sorry.

Good luck on the big day.

after 5 months of lurking in the forums, reading, learning, panicking, and missing my husband, I finally decided to post and join my fellow "sufferers"... I'm praying that we're all reunited with our spouses soon! Thanks for all of your wisdom and advice :D

02/15/2008 mailed I-129F

05/10/2008 apply for expedite on I-129F and it's accepted!

05/14/2008 NOA2 for I-130, I-129F is administratively closed. d'oh! Now he has to take a 20 hour bus ride to the embassy, instead of getting the visa at the embassy 2 km from where he lives :( We had been trying for the K-3. Now we try to figure out the CR-1 process

05/16/2008 went back to Rwanda with my mom and MoH for the church wedding

06/07/2008 got back to the US, mailed AOS bill

06/08/2008 finally figure out CR-1 process (thanks, guys!) and realize that I need all of the important papers. double d'oh! He starts to collect things like his birth certificate.

06/10/2008 emailed DS-3023

07/16/2008 he finally got his birth certificate and FedEx-es the packet to me

07/25/2008 mailed DS-230

08/05/2008 should have a "case complete", but NVC is IDIOTIC and has out-of-date info

09/ --/2008 call embassies, change foreign policy

10/02/2008 CASE COMPLETE. FINALLY!
