Anybody doing NVC in August??

[Malrothien 6]

Shar, this is going to sound really retarded and close-minded, but what sorts of foods do you eat after dark during Ramadan?

So silly, but honestly, I was never exposed to many Muslims growing up and only got to know some since I moved to Vancouver.

Hmm...well after eating three days of leftover I was HAPPY to eat pepperoni (turkey) pizza last night and the a piece of key lime pie for dessert! NOM!

Weekends we do BIG meals. Last weekend me and my cousin in law made sambousas (cheese, spinich and beef ones). Curry Chicken, Beef cabbage spinich with seaning & couscousi. Hmm, also this super yummy curry chickpea dish with chapati. Salad (usually just tomato and cucumber). My brother and my cousins BBQed as well, so we had shish kabobs. For dessert I made basbousa and creme caramel (flan). OMG....my mouth is watering now!

I don't know about other Muslims, but I don't always good traditional foods. Usually this is the only time (Ramadan) that I go ALL out cooking. About once or twice a week I cook Arabic food and usually the rest is the same as everyone else

Thanks for answering and not laughing.

Sounds delicious - kinda like American Thanksgiving every weekend.

Fudge!!! Still able to log into NVC!!!!! UGH!!!! When will it end?

[Malrothien 6]

Yeah, me too.

[Beth/ Paris Heart 2]

Yeah, me too.

I was thinking, "Yeah I know dangerous," but wasnt there a NVCer who posted he could not sign in on a Sunday?, and case was completed on Monday?

They still haven't entered my DS-230 in the system yet.

My wife got an email last night from NVC in regards to the email I sent for the choice of agent....kinda late now

[Rajib&Ema 0]

I called and spoke with an operator this evening and was told they haven't entered my DS-230 in the system either.

Puleeeez, I don't believe them at the NVC. As of yesterday they told me that they couldn't even see if my Ds-230 package had been reviewed or not. Needless to say, I had case complete today. I think for most, it'll take about 10-14 days after the NVC received the package the Ds-230 and evidence. Anyhow, best of luck to all.

More unexpected bills came up, looks like NVC is on hold officially until October 1st. :'(

Well, on the bright side, we're already 2 weeks into September.
