Gonna cry

Good Luck, hope all goes well now, we are getting to that stage now and following an RFE from the service centre, I am terrified that we will get one from the NVC, even though my daughter and I have checked everything

I got an RFE from NVC also. I learned about it over the automated message. I called an operator at NVC and she was able to tell me exactly what was missing.

UPDATE!!!

So I got the letter today...and I could totally kick myself because the mistake I made was so stupid and I didn't even notice it! I made a strange error on Item 20 with regard to the dates that made it look like there was a gap in time when there really wasn't.

I'm sending it on back tomorrow and really really hope it gets a move on now! Thanks for all of your help!

Good that it was an easy fix for you.

When they told you that there were six incomplete things, they were wrong? Or you had six times that you accidentally messed up the dates? Was it a real gap or was it something like having employment dates that end one month and start in the next? Good luck with your amended form. ttyl,

Hey there!! I should probably give a lot more detail just in case anyone else has this issue (duh! I don't know why I didn't think of that before!).

OK - so what I thought was "six wrong things" actually ended up being that there was a perceived six month gap on the application for where Josh had lived, which triggers a problem because you're supposed to account for where you've lived for anywhere longer than six months. The person I spoke to over the phone at NVC didn't speak with the clearest accent so it could have been a miscommunication on her part or a misunderstanding on mine.

As far as what the error was: I had used the PDF form where you could enter the information on the computer before printing. If you go to Item #20 you'll see that the date format is different from the others. I think that, in error, they didn't separate the fields of "FROM" and "UNTIL", like they did with all the other columns - so what ended up happening was that I couldn't put 01-1978/06-2006 in that field like I could with the others. I didn't realize that and so what I did was (stupidly) break up the dates onto two lines, which looked really weird now that I realize that the format was supposed to be From/Until or 01-1978/06-2006. I just printed the form out and wrote that in manually this time.

Hope that makes sense! It's a little hard to explain.

Ah. I understand so clearly what you mean. I also had a really hard time understanding the person at the NVC with which I talked. Wouldn't that be a fun irony if the NVC call center was outsourced to some other country?

Yeah, those fillable forms aren't quite the best. I didn't even bother using the PC to fill in the dates since they were screwy. That and a couple other places that the format was incorrect in the pdf, I just wrote by hand with my most pretty handwriting.

Good luck on your fixed form! ttyl,
