Just to update my case:

I called the NVC and they said I would have to make a correction to question # 20 on DS 230.

Because there could be no gaps in the months where my Hubby has lived. There really was not - all I had to fill in was "to Present" by hand.

I sent it in the same day I found out about the stupidity by FEDEX. This was yesterday October 1st.

Anyway, how long will this take to clear up?

Thanks

Last month it was taking on average 2 days after actual receipt of RFE.

Now it's been closer to 5 to 10 days.

Thanks for the congrats all.

Lars, you're right...I don't know what to do now that I don't have to call NVC.

I'm having withdrawal symptoms. :)

LING LING and RING RING, Congratulations to both of you for this happiness.

This is great now we don't have anything to do anymore, I will go home to install some windows instead of reading this board.

hi all!

I am a september approval but i thought i would come to you guys for advice. I really really want to do everything in my power to try to get a november interview date. so, here's my question.My IV bill should be invoiced tomoorow for me to pay it. I want to be able to mail off the ds-230 package by Monday to NVC but the issue is we dont have the police report yet, willl have by wednesday. So, i was thinking to mail the ds-230 package wihtout the police report on monday, so atleast the processing can begin and then by wednesday or thursday, mail the police report separtely and just tell them i forgot to add it in. What do you guys think, will this work or cause it to delay even more? I was thinking if i mail the police report by wednesday then there isnt enough time for them to issue the rfe and they can just put itwith my paperwork. Any advice guys?

Its kind of cool to do it this way but you should always put some room aside in case NVC got confused and screwed up your case.

If I were in your position and I knew for sure that PCC will be in my hand by Wed. I would wait till then and overnight the whole package. I am sure you take full responsibility of your action here, but what if the officer look at your case day after NVC recieves it which is Wed and your PCC is not there, BANG, RFE is on its way.

I have told everyone and you on top of it, make sure your forms are all filled out and PART I signed and PART II unsigned. Double check question 20 and make sure you have all dates on the form.

Double check all of your evidence.

Don't risk for an RFE for couple days.

Good Luck

The spreadsheet has been updated.

I am ever so pleased to report that I just got off the phone with the NVC and was advised that my case was completed on the 30th. Since they didn't enter my RFE into their system until the 25th I figured I'd give them a week before I started hounding them about it, but it seems it only took 3 business days, so yay! Congrats to Ling Ling, Martina and Jim, Lars-N-Yenia, and Nimche for your case completes as well (it just occured to me that I don't think I've actually congratulated anyone yet). And of course to babybebita for flying through her interview! =D

Hey Nimche,

I think your I-130 is on its way to NAPLES, Italy. The DHL picked up the package on 10/1 2008.

The tracking number is 9463852123.

Martina :dance:

Thank you for the tracking number. I saved it on my desktop so I can track it. It will be there at the embassy tomorrow and I will call them.

I want to ask them to schedule an interview ASAP.

Lets seee

CHD, this is really great new for all of us. You deserve it and all this hard work finally paid back. I see Ling Ling is the record holder with 45 days on top of the list.

Congratulations everyone. Lets celebrate. Know we all know that we will reunit with our beloved ones max in Nov.

Cheers

Which home are you talking about? Canda or US with your hubby?
