NVC March 2010 Edition!

[aneudyn 2]

ok, cant help it.... I am calling NVC.....ummm still holding... its been 23 mins... getting a little irritable over here

thank you for calling, our staff is working hard to take your call now, when we return plz let us know how we can serve you <HA!> thank you for calling assistance is just a moment away! <I am wondering how long a moment is? I mean like seriously.. if you ask my kids.. a moment would just be until the next commercial break... but I think the NVC is working on a different time length, like take ancient egypt... King Tut... well he was just a moment in time... a long #### time ago.. and see.. his moment was like how many freaking years? Well... I think the NVC should change the msg... and Not say a 'moment' or a brief delay... because I can assure you it is just making me more irritable each 'moment' that is passing and noone is answering... what is a moment? 1. A brief, indefinite interval of time. hummm what is brief? 1. Short in time, duration, length, or extent oooo what is short? Lasting a brief time: a short holiday.

b. Appearing to pass quickly: finished the job in a few short months.

5. Not lengthy; succinct: short and to the point.

1.) When is my interview appointment Damit? I see that your case is completed and we are waiting on the embassy to tell us there availabilty so we can schedule you an appoitment

2.) When will you forward my document to the embassy? We will forward your documents as soon as we set up and interview date

3.) When do you schedule the interview dates? What about the second week in April... would that be on the 5-9th or the 12th -16th? I believe that it will be the 5-9th you can all back then and see if we have an interview for you, if we are not scheduling that week we will be able to tell you at that time when to call back. But rest assure that we will mail you your interview letter when we have it available

4.) I have looked on the US Embassy site for New Delhi, and there is a list of panel Doctors, would it be ok if my husband went ahead and had his medical? Yes, you could go ahead and take the medical, but I would highly advise you against it at this time, since we dont know when your interview date is there could be some issues with the required shots. I would suggest that you wait till as close to the interview date as possible so that any shots that you might have recieved would not have expired <#######> was she serious?

5.) What are my next steps with this process? Just wait for us to mail you an interview letter and follow the instructions

6.) hehehehehe...<this one is for yall> should I call yall back? and if so when? Like I have said before you can call back the week of the 5-9th to see if we are scheduling appointments at this time. There is no issue with the amount of ttimes that you call us

7.) Should I be expecting an May interview? I can not tell you this because I do not know, all I know is that we schedule appointments in the second week of every month and the availabilty is subject to change depending on the embassy

< sigh>

This is a model that we should all fallow when finally get an operator... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Tokyo--If current timelines hold -- that is, NVC doesn't pick up or lose pace--you can expect to be done by April 21, no matter which option you choose.

So you can either wait and then send in your package with the PCC to NVC.

Or you can send it in now and then send the PCC when you get the RFE.

thanks for the advice!!! i think i may just wait and not have to deal with an RFE and keep it simple!

- Hope someone can help.

My friend applied for a K3 and since she has a daughter she can't follow the CR1 path.

She got the 2 petitions approved and today she got the DS3032 and AOS fee bill in her email to pay and she doesn't know what to do.

Do you guys think NVC didn't realize she has a K4 on her petition or do they do send the bills even if they know it's a K3.

I know that when you want to switch from K3 to CR1 you can just pay the bills and they will understand you are following CR1.

Is it the same for K3? Do they send the Cr1 emails anyway?

I thought they would just forward her case to the Embassy.....

Thanks guys!

May be its one of those cases where the I-129 and I-130 got approved the same time and based on the new rule it automatically gets processed as CR-1 based on the new rule implemented in Feb? Not sure having child will alter this process.

NVC received hubby's packets on the 17th & AVR updated this morning stating they have received the packets on the 22nd & to give 6-7wks to review. So give it another day maybe since you are right behind me.

But, I called the operator & operator stated that they are still waiting on my packets.

someone else had asked about translations but i wanna ask what you guys did.

did anyone get their translations of birth cert and marriage cert NOTARIZED??

do we really need to do that?

should i do it just to be safe?

I think NVC screwed up. They got approved at the same time, but we were guessing that they would read the petition and see that she has a daughter in the process and just forward the packages to the Embassy.

It seems weird to me that they are sending her CR1 related issues right?

Can't believe they can't even read a petition! It seems to me that they are ignoring the fact that she has a K4 to follow you know?

It's actually intresting because the way I understood, the operators have the most updated info but when I called they don't see my packet being there. When I mentioned to the operator how AVR says its been received & in process he kind of stuttered & didn't have an answer for me other then to give them time (since I mentioned they got it on the 17th).

I will trust the AVR for now & will see on Friday. Might try talking to the operator again.

I want packets to be approved asap but this is the first week really since they have been there so I am not stressing too much yet. But next week, I will be a mess! I just pray I don't get an RFE.

Good luck to you! Check first thing tomorrow morning & maybe it will change for you. Good luck!

My time frame is the same as you. My package was also delivered on the 18th and they updated the AVR this morning.

I'd wait until tomorrow morning and check AVR again.

Good luck!

I got my certificates translated to be on the safe side, and yes, it was notarized.

But.... in the Embassy website it says that if the paper is in Portuguese or English language it doesn't need to be translated.

It's up to you to have it done or not I guess.

I agree with you. I also translated my PCCs myself just in case. These ones I didn't get notarized though.

Just put on the bottom an statement that says I am fluent in both languages and signed it.
