Hear anything from your ILS staffer yet Valerie?

nothing yet, i left her a message this morning. i'm pretty sure she's put in a call to her liaison and is waiting to call me back once she hears from them...

nothing to do but wait..

[decocker 7,198]

so. i can't get the lady at the senator's office to return my calls now. lovely. i have no idea what to do. i received an email from the department of state saying that this visa hasn't yet been issued and they will mail it out when it is. that's it. no explanation. has anyone ever had this happen before? should i try a different liaison or keep with the woman at mark warner's office (who now seems to be avoiding me)?

help.

Oh - drats.

I suggest you call the general # for Mark's office, inquire about the status of that ILS person - see if on the campaign trail, or if someone else is handling her duties whilst she is out, or (gasp) if she's back at university for the fall term.

[Darnell 8,478]

I am reading some reports of ILS staffers falling off the grid for today, as they are 'redirected' for upcoming re-electrion campaign activity. You should harry/harrass/badger the staff at Mark's office to find out exactly where YOUR ILS staffer is going, this week.

uh. called dos, they say case has been transferred to nvc? call nvc they say the case isn't there yet?

what is going on. what what what...

why would the case go back to nvc?

[Darnell 8,478]

huh? mondo weird. Suggest you call back DoS 3 times today, throughout the day,

and see if you get the same answer those 3 times from 3 different humans.

Somethings really wonky.

[Sweetcheeksss 91]

OMG what a clusterf**k for you Valerie - I am sooo sorry you have to go through this, I'd be losing my freaking mind if I were in your shoes.

Sending good vibes your way.....

called dos and they say it was printed on the 17th.

cheese and rice.

[Sweetcheeksss 91]

Well that's fantastic!! :dance: :dance:

[decocker 7,198]

of course, nothing is showing up on canada post.

if ONLY there were a simple way to verify information with the gd CONSULATE...

Well that's fantastic!! :dance: :dance:

right, but this isn't the first time i was told it was printed. previously they told me that it was printed on the 2nd. but, that was my senator's liason, dos never had a print date..

wow. i feel like screaming right now.

I know, I was just telling/complaining to my hubby that he should really feel offended, as a US citizen, how much his rights are getting trampled on by the consulate in Montreal.

I told him about your plight, how you used to email them a zillion times and that you, as a US citizen couldn't get an answer from them, not even a response. It's ridiculous! Montreal really needs to contract out some folks to answer phone calls/emails, in my opinion.

Hope to God this time it's true and that your hubby's visa is on it's way.

what really blows is everyone acts as if i'm being crazy, that waiting like this is normal...and we are PAYING for a service, we are doing things the legal way...and seemingly getting punished for it..

i want to call dos back again but i'm at work and have already been on hold for 45 minutes this morning total..

god, why did i quit smoking! i need a cig. look montreal, you're forcing my bad habits back!!!!
