Wow Laura, I must say that was mighty fast. You are on your way!!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Woohoo!! Congratulations to Laura! :dancing:

The problem with NVC's automated system is that you need to have the new number NVC assigns to your case to use it---and you can't get that without talking to a real person first. And it doesn't give you the option of waiting on hold for as long as need be to talk to a live operator. I was able to get through at 11:30 EST last night.

There is an October-November NOA2-to-NVC thread started by Applewow. All of you December Vermont filers getting your approvals now are more than welcome to join us there if you like.

I wish I could start a business that people can pay for a 3 month process for an extra 1000 dollars and have it legalized outsourced work from the government. Would you all pay the extra money? I know I would.

it's dependant on how often the service centre ships to NVC. Once it gets to NVC, it'll scoot right on out of there pretty quick :)

Jan 27, 2014 NOA received and cheque cashed

Hey Laura,

NVC is moving pretty quick. You can track your case from dhl.com all the way to the consulate by using KidBrooklyn's info. See below.

That DHL trick actually works... I tried it and came across all the petitions that NVC sent out to the embassies today, 3/3/08.

Search by reference, click here: http://track.dhl-usa.com/TrackByRef.asp?nav=TrackByRef

Type or paste this into the Reference field: EXP 29 FEB 2008A

That's don't change or touch any other fields.

There were 77 shipped today, 2 on Saturday. I'm sure if this helps anybody, but I created an aphabetized list using Excel.

Laura you might have to enter different dates but I tracked mine all the way to Kazakhstan. :thumbs:

Thanks!!

I actually found mine on the DHL last night (Well, Mox found it for me!) There was only one package going to Montreal yesterday so...I knew it was mine!

It's in Ohio right now...probably freezing cause there is so much snow!! LOL
