NVC March 2010 Edition!

[TatyanaR 6]

QUESTION!!

So, what is the longest you have had to be apart from your spouse? The longest I have been apart from my husband was 3 mos. If we get a May interview, it will be four months and the longest so far. Im curious to see everyone elses experiences...

and I'm killing time while we wait for the portal to become active and for the NVC to give us some updates.

This is the 10th month for us

To whoever posted....I think the message on NVC is a man, not a woman, lol.

HAHAHA I BELIEVE THE ONE IN SPANISH IS A WOMAN...

[tharnsur 1]

Dear God, I promise that I will be a good girl and be nice to other ppl. I promise I will give up chocolate, alcohol and ciggs... just plz plz plz let some case completes happen all this week with no more RFE's so that the NVC can progress swiftly and start wrapping up my case. Otherwise I pray that the mail room knome puts my DS-230 package on top so that it is processed this week! I humbly request that all the current RFE's are dealt with in a timely manner as to not to continue to keep these union of love apart... I LOVE YOU, your child

AMen

AMEN

Longest stretch was 6 months for me. It has been 2 months since I last saw him. I hope we get to see each other on U.S. soil in May 2010.

This is month 7 without being next to him. I miss him, but I think it's good that we get to have this time apart. It's just one more thing to strengthen our marriage. If there's ever a day either one of us has doubts, then we can look back at all of this ####### we've come through as a reminder that we're in this for a very, very good reason and we have to continue fighting very, very hard for that reason.

No Payment Portal. No AVR update. I'm okay with that. Best Friend still hasn't completed the I-864. Instead, I picked up her documents yesterday and will go over for a signing visit later today. Husby sent his revised DS-230 and continuation sheets to me yesterday. They'll be here by Thursday. It's frustrating, but I believe that it has happened for a reason and will turn out for the best in the end.

Don't give up!

Ok, so on the 6th I emailed the DS-3032 template through to the NVC even though they hadn't requested it yet. I'd already called and given mine and my wifes email addresses to an operator. Today I get an automated email from the NVC saying this..

Dear Sir/Madam:

Your inquiry has been received at the National Visa Center (NVC).

Based upon the information received, the NVC is unable to determine the

date of birth for the petitioner. Please submit a copy of a

government-issued document indicating the date of birth (e.g. valid

passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate). The document must

include the month, day, and year of birth.

Please be advised our office has revised our guidelines for

communication between the National Visa Center and the public. We are

now required to verify case information each time we receive an inquiry.

The initial followed the template for the DS-3032 exactly, and gave the date of birth of both my wife, and myself. The AVR message hasn't changed and is still the first one stating when the case was entered into their system.

Should I just wait for the AVR to change, and they request the DS-3032 and resend the email, or send in the details they've asked for, even though they would have recieved both a birth certificate and marriage certificate with the USCIS case?

Thanks

What a GREAT perspective. Yes. We can all look back at this ####### and say.. it was worth it then, it must be worth it now.

For all of you with absences longer than 3 mos... WOW! Keep the faith. I love hearing everyones stories and perspectives on things. Keep em comin!

HERE IS THE ANSWER FOR THOSE WHO ASKED IF ITS SAFE TO EMAIL THE CHOICE OF AGENT BEFORE ITS HAS BEEN GENERATED...

IF I AM YOU I WAIT UNTIL THE AVR CHANGE BECAUSE THEY RECEIVED YOURS BEFORE IT WAS GENERATED...OR SIMPLY JUST FORWARD THE INFORMATION THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING

We talk to each other every day, so in the middle of something, I will ask a random question "When is my son's birthday?" What do I do for a living?" Stuff like that. I figure if he can answer when his mind is in the middle of something else, he will remember it at the interview.

NO, THIS MEAN THAT THEY RECEIVE SOMETHING FROM YOU... THE EMAIL OF ACCEPTANCE MUST SAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS

GW,

Oh no! Were the numbers in the date of birth you used on the DS-3032 e-mail accidentially transposed? I'd say call back and talk to an operator about the e-mail. Maybe you won't need to send in the birth certificate. If you do, though, just send it in without a fight. I'm sorry to hear about your hiccup and hope it gets worked out quickly.

Edit: Or... go with what Ms. Estrella said. She knows what's up.
