I drove by the NVC last night, Friday Nov 14th at about 10pm. The parking lot was packed and the lights were blazing inside. About 6 weeks ago they hired another 20 people and I think they are gearing up for a huge push in processing.

I will be driving past there today and will let you all know if they are there working today on a Saturday.

so do they work on saturday's?

Unfortunately it does not seem like they work on Saturdays or Sundays. There were only 5 or 10 cars in the parking lot over the weekend. I drove by there at 9pm Monday night however and again the parking lot was packed.

I would love to know how many shifts they have and what time the begin and end work each day. Maybe I'll have time to swing by there early one morning this week.

Hi! THANKS, you're doing what all of us wanted to do :thumbs: . Keep us posted, I need to know if they're working.

P.S- Can we help you with the gas bills?

My 12 year old son made the high honor roll at school so this morning there was an awards ceremony at his school. :dance: :dance: :star: :star: I left a bit early so I could swing by the NVC. I am happy to report that at 6:30 am the parking lot was almost full. So that makes me pretty darn happy. It looks like they are at work before I usually am out of bed and they are working until at least 10pm on Friday nights. Not sure how many hours a full time employee actually works there but I hope they are racking up some overtime and getting some extra money for the holidays. The more OT for them the faster we all get processed.

Just from reading the posts on this site, NVC seems to be pretty good compared to USCIS. I have no idea what they do with their time. At least NVC you can call and talk to someone.
