I am sorry for all those people who have the missing documents problem. It must be sooooooo frustrating. I can understand. I hope you guys will sort it out soon. Good Luck!

It is *maddening,* particularly because, in my case, the missing document is incredibly stupid, and a very simple fix, and yet it's now been nearly two weeks since USPS DELIVERED the additional evidence and they've still not admitted they've received it.

Don't get frustrated. I have seen a lot of people got like a surprise log in failure, they didn't even know that NVC got all their stuff until the last minute. I know how you feel, because I kind of want a December interview date too, but I haven't sent my AOS package, I have 1 and half weeks to make it. I hope yours works soon!

Thank you Lily! You know what I called them today and this operator confused me and I was arguing with her that someone told me my DS 230 has been approved. The only thing this operator was trying to tell me was that my husband needs to bring a police certificate to his interview even though I have sent one with the DS 230 and she made it seem like a RFE although it's not. I swear some of these operators are crazy!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you been calling them for interview date?

Hi to all here! I just want to tell that I just called NVC tonight and I already have interview date: Dec. 04, 2009 at 6:30AM at U.S. Embassy Manila Philippines. I thought i need to wait until 2nd week of November but God is really great.

congrants Lady ,, but wait i thought they said interviews are not assigned till the second week of the month i was counting days as in a pregnant woman who counts her days to deliver a baby ,, it is embrassing i cannot trust this folks at nvc mmmmm some bureaucracy,, what can i say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot send this document that they are claiming missing until I received an email from them that they are needing this docs.

I also received this same sing-song from an operator, who told me they issued a request on October 20th, then said oh, it hasn't been sent out yet. I've received no email. Five hours later, I called again and spoke to someone different, who told me I could simply re-print the cover sheet from the invoice page and send the missing document (in our case, court records) back to the NVC.

Has anybody had luck sending a document in before the "official" email requesting it?

yes i did on my RFE for AOS was missing some digits i found out when i called them so then they said i will be getting email that tells me what was missing but i did not wait for the email i got to act on it immidiately so i asked the nvc supervisor was that that was missing because i don't want you guys to ask me after sending what you are asking me and then find out some thing else latter ?????? when i get the yes from the supervisor i went ahead and send out the doc with the cover sheet , and a letter explaining why i was sending this doc again

( in my case it was the 864 original forms and the right figures ( numbers ) on it

and a letter just stating that i am sending this again because of a previous request (usps over night )

next thing i know i still got the email after three days ( how ignorant they are ) i ignored it and waited till they get my Second AOS sure did ,,,,, every thing was okay with it ,,,, followed by case completion !!!

Hi Again Shiela,

Did you tell them that you are pregnant? and are you done with your medical? orry for so many question... Im so stressed and some kinda depress on whats happening on our case... Its so frustrating that this petition is taking too loonngg.... Just wanna get some input from you here so we'll have an idea on how to speed up ours...

Thanks again.

Yes I done my medical, and they know that i am pregnant... the NVC forward my case to USEM, that is why there are the one to schedule my interview.. they sent at OCTOBER 23, 2009..

I want to know ASAP our schedule hopefully SOON...

Shiela

Hi Shiela,

I notice that your medical was so EARLY.. oct 5 and 6. Just wanna as if you still remember when did you tell NVC that you had completed your medical? Is it right after your medical? like Oct 7 or just recently when your log in failed and completed?

The reason why I am asking is because, MAYBE the reason why NVC did not schedule your interview is because you had already completed your medical... and USEM will just schedule you an earlier interview... compare to normal cases, as we'll notice usual leadtime that NVC is giving for Philippine applicant is about 1 1/4 - 2 months. This is because they are giving a 2 weeks allowance for the applicant to finish their medical, but if they had done their medical, they can make a schedule ASAP (as long as earlier dates are still open)..

or still.. maybe because you are pregnant?

for my kapwa pinoy and pinays who are now completed with their case.. had you experience the same situation as sheila? please give your inputs...

and shiela, have u ask the NVC why your case is special? like why USEM will take care of your interview schedule while generally, it should be NVC?

Hope my 1st conclusion is correct, my wife will have her early medical too... im gonna inform NVC right after completion.. hopefully they will sched dates earlier than expected.

Congrats.

Hey, for everybody questioning sending in an RFE without waiting for the checklist to arrive by email....

I finally got the email today, and it's a totally different address than the initial bar-coded cover sheet. I thought I'd post the info here in case anybody had the same question.

The initial bar-coded cover sheet says to send the package to:

Attn: CMR

32 Rochester Avenue

The checklist cover sheet I just received in email for our missing document says to send to:

Attn: DR

31 Rochester Avenue, Suite 100

So for future RFE'rs, I'm wondering if it's unwise to send back without the checklist with the original bar-coded cover sheet. Some people report they've sent it back without any major problems, but I'd be afraid to. Thoughts anyone?

[Twisted K 2]

congratulations

your avr was updated the day before ours. maybe we will get our failure tomorrow still hoping for no rfe

I sent it with out the initial email notification ,, i thought 31 rochester and 32 i figures they were gonna be sub units so any ways i did not wait for the email that is because not to waste my time , you know how nvc is they don't care whether my husband gets here faster or not I DO lol so i sent it with the original coversheet every thing was fine when they reviewed it , the thing is sending it faster makes a diffrence it will be okay with out the email, but now you got the email it is okay to do that as well .
