We were approved on December 18, 2008. Got NVC first letter on Jan 5, 2008. After 10 days called NVC. Told you are in AP. Called again, still on AP.

Tired of calling again and again. Could some one tell whether NVC would send another letter whenever we are out of AP or that the docs have been sent to to the consulate or do we need to call them to get this info.

We called them every night the last while. As it was, I had my interview scheduled before he ever got a notice out of NVC, so we are glad we didn't wait on them.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

And I have heard from others that they were never notified. I just keep calling. One of these times, they will say it has been sent on to the consulate.

We got him quite a lot...we hardly ever got an unpleasant person...the only unpleasant thing was not hearing what we hoped to do.

Congrats KeithJane and good luck on the interview :thumbs:

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

It's such a boring day at work today. I almost miss having to wait for something, haha.

Been trying to figure out or come up with a list of documents I need to find, translate to English, just overall sort.. and then pack and take with me to the US. And it's just driving me nuts, even thinking about it.

If I get the visa, of course. But... I guess I need something to kill time, huh.
