When I called, 1 was for Haiti, 2 for everyone else, then 1 for english, 2 for spanish, then either 2 for the visa or 5 for operator. Hitting 2 or 5 starts it back to Haiti, and after a few cycles, I got told all operators were busy.

I saw how many times it took you to call, I was surprised when I got through the first time!

Are you calling 603-334-0700? That is the National Visa Center number. 1 is for English and 5 is for a human. Maybe you and I are talking about different phone numbers, eh?

That is the number I'm calling. They've changed the menu, probably to help deal with the quantity of calls pertaining to Haiti, and it seems as though they broke it.

:ot:

and John can kill me later ... but I HAVE to brag! You see, my guy is a background actor, and has done so for many a year. Today, The Tooth Fairy came out, and John has a part in it! We weren't sure how "much" of his part would make it into the movie or if it would make it to the cutting room floor. I took my middle daughter and her friend to see the movie tonight and let me tell you guys ... the squealing that came from the three of us when we saw John on the screen AND saying his lines, that he ad libed entirely (no script!), was astronomical! AND he was listed in the credits at the end of the movie!

I am SO proud of my guy!!! :luv:

VERY COOL!! :star:

I got my RFE in the mail today, and it turns out it was exactly what I was expecting from early on. They just wanted more evidence of the prior meeting, so I sent copies of my plane tickets, itineraries, and passport with exit/entry stamps. I had everything prepared when I received it, so I just put it all right in the envelope, booked it to the post office and express mailed it so it'll be there tomorrow. I'm really hoping I might receive the NOA2 through email by Friday, although that's probably a bit too hopeful! :P This wait is agonizing sometimes, so we will be grateful to receive some good news!!!

i received an email from the USCIS this morning, i was so excited to open it as i thought it was my NOA2... false alarm... i just says:

"Current Status: Response to request for evidence received, and case processing has resumed" :blush:

i guess they're a bit slow as my response to the RFE packet was received on friday... nonetheless, at least i got some news from them... still optimistic that we'll all get our NOA2s by the end of the month...
