I think NVC is in New Hampshire.

It is difficult to call them during the day. If you are K1, you need to talk to a person there to find your case. Try calling later at night; you'll need to wait but you can get through and they are worlds nicer than US CIS.

NOA 2. Really?

Thanks everyone! I really thought my day would never come! Yeah, last Friday the congressman told me they found out I will be in security checks for a LONG time, then I was APPROVED on MONDAY! I went to the infopass on TUESDAY and they had absolutely no idea it was approved! This system is Sooo messed up! And No one knows ANYTHING! Everyone has a different story.

I'm just happy this part is over and hopefully by Summer I will have my man back here with me!

Sigh....... (L)
