I would guess lots of calls to NVC are silly and should not be made but people being what they are just clog down the system. Then those who have reasonable and legitimate issues have to wait because

@Tom: Congratulations on the CC! :) Hope u get that interview date soon and hope u get a happy CO on the big day! ;) Are you goin to Manila to be with ur wife??

Thanks MR&MRS D. I am not sure I need to call the Embassy and talk with them. I do know I need to ensure my wife is educated in our financial situation and has a good understanding and good talking points for the our issue of my not working and our financial status.

@ Rich&Bey I am always glad to get through a stage of the process and leave the frustration behind only to find that nothing has changed but the names and faces... :hehe: This process has really opened my eye to the inefficiencies of the US government. Looking at the paperwork (information and documentation) we have provided this department it is impossible to justify taking 8-9 months maybe more to complete the simplest of Visa. They are only doing minimal reviews at best on the information we send them which is basic stuff. THen they still struggle over it. No wonder this country is starting to fail at every level. Seems like the only thing we are good at any more is giving it away... What we need is more immigration of educated people to restore our ability to reason and perform. But I am just venting :hehe::whistle:

Cant wait to see what tomorrow brings... :bonk::lol:

Good Luck and God be with us all...

I am so frustrated!!!:angry: and mad!!! Just got of the phone with OLIVIA, she tells me that my documents are not in review that they were entered in the system on the 24th blah blah blah!!! OK so I called yesterday and the other person I spoke with told me my documents were in review!! So which is it???!!!

Can it be that my document have not even been looked at? I guess I will have to make another call and hope someone can give me a straight answer... She just kept repeating that they have 6-8 weeks to look at my documents... ok now I'm sad and confused:wacko: :wacko:
