Thats why I dont call anymore.... I always get frustrated.

Last time I had to hear: "just because your case was complete, it doesnt mean you'll get a interview date"

After that, I gave up!

If I dont hear anything by next Wednesday, I may call at nite and see ####### is going on! lol

:angry: Yeah... just made me angry.... She told me - we cannot predict when you'll get the email... I told her I'm not asking her to predict anything, I'm asking for timeframes.... Seems like they feel obligated to be rude for no reason.

I have a question--I received some gold jewellery from my parents and other guests as wedding gifts as is custom in India. Could I use them as assets? Has anyone done this before? Of course, I'll get it weighed, valued, certified etc. and express it in terms of USD. It'll be around $8,000. I mean gold is as good as liquid cash and only appreciates in value. Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this?

I would just like to present the strongest financial case possible and would like to contribute to our AOS.

NOROB--Your biographic page should be fine. I sent that and my expiration/validity correction on another page as that is incorrectly marked on my biographic page.

All I hear when I call is "...or press 5 to speak to an operator now" ;):devil: Does it say something after that too??

Sachinky - i've heard ppl list their cars, boat, house etc.. i don't see why you can't add your precious metal assets. Go for it.

Yeh, if you have an appraisal certificate or something, I'm sure it would be a great asset to list!!
