NVC April 2010 Edition!

[TheBears 9]

Yup would have to agree on that. the wait times for other relatives, even blood siblings, is like 2-3 yrs! pretty bad...the visa priorities are reserved for immediate relatives (like US!!!). siblings really fall on the wayside on that level. it didnt used to be that way, but nowadays, much different! they're probably better off maybe by trying to get here on an H1B or even a business visa, rather than an immigrant one and then adjust status...

A lot longer than 2 - 3 years.

Check the current Visa Bulletin to get the best estimate. http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4805.html

Brothers and Sisters are Family, 4th Preference. The priority date currently being served for India is 15 May 2000.

Vivek got to it first. Good job, Vivek!

yeh, they lie Dr. LOL They told half of us this week and the other half they told next week. Last I was told by NVC, interviews will be scheduled next week and to call back a week from this coming Monday.

So, basically they are asking you to call during the 3rd week of April! when interview scheduling for April is over!

I thought the NVC agony is over after SIF! apparently its not

Meh. I think we're in agreement that they don't really know what they're saying.

I'm calling today around 10, Monday, and Thursday.

Yeh, Monday, Wednesday and Friday..LOL That one part of the recording says that anyway - "If it's been more than 2 days since you called, please feel free to call again and let us know how we may serve you!" It's something like that anyway, I never make it past the part where they offer up pressing 5

Husby asks every day, "When is the interview?" I'm thinking of making him call and ask them.

What website do you go to first when you first get on a computer for the day? NVC or VJ?

First website of the day is my e-mail. Then VJ. Then Payment Portal (when I was waiting for SIF).

I've always checked VJ more than the Payment Portal anyway, though.

When the hubby gets here and gets his citizenship, then he can petition for his sister and her family. It can take a while, though. Like... 10 to 15 years. But! It's possible!

Background story: Ex-husband is Thai, born in the US. His mom has citizenship. His mom petitioned her sister and her sister's family. They waited 13 years until they were issued a visa.

Yup would have to agree on that. the wait times for other relatives, even blood siblings, is like 2-3 yrs! pretty bad...the visa priorities are reserved for immediate relatives (like US!!!). siblings really fall on the wayside on that level. it didnt used to be that way, but nowadays, much different! they're probably better off maybe by trying to get here on an H1B or even a business visa, rather than an immigrant one and then adjust status...

WOW, that does suck!!! Whats this H1B Visa I have been reading about on other post all day?

Hmmm, I wonder if her hubby can apply at Microsoft & maybe they can sponsor his visa. They are only 20min away from where I live.

I was just reading your posts about immigration stuff. Argh

Dont even get me started about illegal people who get married and gets the GC in 3 months.

I have a friend, she overstayed her J1 for about 3 years (yah, 3 yrs illegal). She got married the same day I did (10/09). She already has her GC and they didnt even gave her a hard time at the interview. Just asked some regular questions and issued her the card.

So why people who was illegal and left the country have such a hard time? I mean, it's ok to adjust if you are illegal but at least file for a waiver and get in the same line as the others waiting overseas, you know. Its sooo unfair.

I really like her but it's so unfair!!!!! She didnt have to spend any money with waivers and she was also working illegally already.

That pisses me off. Really!

Its horrible. Read my disgruntled USC thread a few pages back

VJ~ then Facebook, then back to VJ~

Well, folks. Its friday, 3:50 in the PM MST.. and I SERIOUSLY thought that I'd have an interview (WE ALL) would have an interview by today. Last week, I was begging for THIS week to come.. now Im just because A.) It feels like we might see an interview in OCTOBER and B.) we dont use that smiley often here..

I really wanna call them, but after I found out that they keep logs of when you call, and taking into account that I called everyday for about two weeks (sometimes twice a day) and last time I called them was wednesday I really dont' know....I'm scared of pissing them off

I almost wish my hubby had overstayed but yet I didn't want him to be illegal so I told him we should do it the legal way not knowing the wait will be so long!
