We just got our SIF! :-)

I think the good news for everybody is that our package was received on 8/5 and put into the system on 8/9 (receipt date reported by AVR). So it looks like NVC may be catching up. It "only" took 3 weeks from the receipt date.

I now hope we won't have to wait too long before we get our interview date.

Good luck to everyone.

WOW CONGRATS!!! :dance::dance: I would guess your 2-3 weeks away from interview but I guess this depends on the Embassy. I certainly hope things are going to go a little faster for everyone but we just have to wait and see. Good News though. Thanks for sharing. :thumbs:

Yeah a shower is good even if cold water!!:thumbs: So Tom I am going to ask a question now don't laugh!! How do people know they got SIF? is it when they sign in to the online portal?? hahhahaah I got no clue! now stop laughing!!:rofl:

Mamamimi, :rofl: I was just as clueless. Matter of Fact I didn't even know what it meant but I knew I wanted it...haha :whistle: Then I was told by JD that is meant "Sign in Failure" and yes when you try to go to the pay online portal for status. Or is it when you try to call and sign in with the AVR... I am so confused... :rofl::crying::blush:

I wondered what the famous SIF was about for a while myself so, although the explanation can be found it is not that easy to find and probably worth repeating. Here is the run down:

It stands for "Sign In Failed". And you get it when trying to log on to the NVC payment website:

Instead of the usual page you get this in a big bright red rectangle:

Sign In Failed

* Please be advised that the case that you have attempted to access is not eligible for further processing by the National Visa Center at this time. Please click on the Contact the NVC hyperlink if you believe that you have received this message in error.

You can't miss it! And it's goodness. :-)

MY Dear, I have done all that I can. The question is,,, Is she ready!!! Its her interview. I have been sending her reading links and information I have found that others have posted. So I am hoping she is reading it but I know she is not. Her work seems to consume her. I cant do much about it other than support her with things like "I TOLD YOU SO !!" :rofl::devil: But I did :blush: and time will tell us :yes: . I dont think she has much to worry about because unlike me her memory is still intact. I know this because she keep telling me you said this and you said that. Which I respond " I think you miss understood me. haha... :whistle:
