-_- This process is indeed tiresome. There some questions in the form that requires good judgment. whew!

Anyways, I just sent my IV packet yesterday. I know it will get in at NVC first than AOS so we'll probably receive a false RFE.

I think majority of Novemeber 2008 filer either got their visa or got their interview date setup.

We November filer (China region) are still here waiting for our interview date to be setup due

to unreasonable Chinese custom delay.

I hope we all will get it done by the end of August.

Hey Steve.

You'll prolly get an interview date by August 2nd week if you don't get it this month. As what I've read from some other threads, NVC is setting up an interview every 2nd week of the month.

My husband and I are indeed positive to be case completed at least this month. So hopefully we'll also get an interview date by August. Just keeping our hopes high. That's all we have left in this process.

Good luck to us.

Oh I missed this thread. How are you guys doin now?

I know most of y'all are in the US already and I'm really glad you're finally in your spouse's arms.

Waiting for Case Completion here so I dropped off to ask if how long (averagely) did it took you to get your case completed at NVC after they received all necessary docs?

Regards,

LÜvtechwifey
